I'm quite proud of my mini tale, even though I almost made a horrible mistake (fixed it, though).

Their friend, bandmate, and essentially, leader was in that bed. Eaten away from the inside out. No one could stop it in time, and now it was too late.
It all seemed so final. A long time coming, for sure, but no one ever thought it’d take him down.

To be honest, I had a whole bunch of fun writing it and cackled at the heartbreak I caused.
