Rufus and Matthew

(From the book They Both Die Eventually) After Rufus and Matthew had survived a whole day, they had returned home. They had played together and kissed each other in their arms and were asleep, but a few hours later. Matthew woke up and decided to make tea, he tried to turn on the gas, the stove was broken and he didn't remember that by turning it on, the house might catch fire. But it was too late, the gas cylinder exploded and a fire broke out and Matthew almost burned to death in the fire, and Rufus woke up at the last moment
