Vending Machine

The man stepped back, and took a look at this rust covered vending machine. He found it standing next to his house this morning.
"Wasn't there yesterday, strange..."he murmured.
It's got a note stuck on with bad handwriting: a cent for a wish
"Well, worth to try," he stuck the coin in,"I wish my stupid brother died."
Clink!
"Wait, there are more on the other side of the note," he turn the paper over, " 'I'll take your death with the cent' "
...
Two thousand years later, the man is still alive.
He learned, loneliness is worse than death.
