The room was so still and silent that Saturday morning. Only the quiet beep of the heart monitor and the gentle movement of the respirator brought life to that hospital room. Just outside the window another world could be seen. Two women spoke about their family life, while their young children played nearby. A man rushed to his car, often glancing at his watch. It was a beautiful day. Cloudless and bright, the day was warm but with a faint and gentle breeze caressing the land.
