1990. Both Donald Preneta and Roger McFarland, lovers for three years, had AIDS. While Donald was dying, Roger took care of him. After Don's body was taken away by a hearse, Roger returned to the bedroom. He stood at the edge of the bed shaking. The reality of the death struck him, and he collapsed on the bed crying.
