For a very long time, I was dragged beneath a heavy veil of senselessness.  A wintry breath whispered across my limbs, easing the numbness on my skin. In the darkness of my coma, I heard only my own sharp inhalations; deep, sporadic. Echoes of distant visions blurred my mind, drowning me in its icy embrace. 1234 copyright protection899ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDg6Zz8HTt 尼903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBR8lKJD0n

I remember standing in the backyard of my house. The last whisps of faint summer wind brushing against distant trees. I remember the cobalt blue of the sky.

I felt terror, like the dreadful Arctic cold, sear me like blistering fire. They crippled my body, etching and coiling deep within my chest. At that time, I still wasn't used to this kind of fear.

My body was drenched in cold sweat. I would never forget stumbling around the locked house, crying out my mother's name. Dread melted and thawed within my heart with every step. When I finally lurched in from the back entrance, scanning the dark interiors of the household, everything had become strangely quiet again. It was almost if I had imagined those screams.1234 copyright protection899ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6LtfmqmLn 尼903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00fsu78rZQ

 A sudden, bitter feeling gushed to my heart. The living room was drenched in a murky gloom, one that seemed to replace the air of normality previously prowling in its expanse. Something was bizarre about the house, making me instantly nauseous. I scanned all intersections of the living room, yet nothing was amiss.1234 copyright protection899ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRSoDe4o1H 尼903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡui5Pai4qd7

 It was a dimly illuminated room. My mother was curled up by the bedside, shivering. Blood spurted wildly across her hair, threatening to spill across the apron she wore across her chest. As I entered, she looked up, her eyes entrapped with a look almost devoid of feeling. It was the same feeling that punctured my mind now; paralyzing, drowning, suffocating me. 1234 copyright protection899ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Bsrt8mLa0 尼903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSNUyE3blp

Her arms reached towards me unsteadily, her fingers involuntarily grasped mine, as she benumbed me with that similar unfeeling gaze. I knew that look. It was the remnant of an empty shell, one crippled raw by terror and hopelessness. My heart raced as she slowly touched her tender lips to my cheek.1234 copyright protection899ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSRASfoxFi 尼903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBUI2HaB8S

"What happened?" I urged, terror creeping upon me again at the ghastly sight of blood. She didn't reply to my urgent cries, and only brought me closer towards her, until we were in a stiff embrace. I trembled at her warm touch. I was so close that I could smell the fiery scent of her blood. It was creeping down her own soaked clothes, and dripping onto mine.1234 copyright protection899ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfaB0NwwFb 尼903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIU0P70jcs

"Lily," she whispered feebly, clutching me against her chest, "just tell me one thing. Promise me that you'll be silent about this. Please." She embraced me tighter, and an acidic premonition rushed to my heart. I wiped the tears streaming down her cheeks, as she attempted to draw out those last, despairing words. "Get away from here, Lily, and tell no one."1234 copyright protection899ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIqNnitaHT 尼903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZXuOYiAuA

I endeavoured to protest, but she only shook her head, terror scintillating in the deep ocean blue of her eyes. "Go," She whispered."When they come, just say that I've killed myself.

I remember staring fixedly at the growing cascades of blood, immobilized by shock and desperation. The curtains in the room were drawn; my surroundings were blanketed in gloom. It was so dark I could almost convince myself that the gory lines feathering across the blotched carpet could've been nothing but paint. Nothing but an illusion.1234 copyright protection899ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fYUVOvOvf 尼903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vrNbOZiYp

The next thing I knew, my mother was quivering in an excruciating, breathless state. Her lips were trembling rhythmically, yet I could tell she was trying to say something beneath her breath. But before she could finish, a terrible spasm constricted her mouth, and at last, a lonesome tear slithered out from her eye. I was able to make out the final sentence she whispered, although it was stifled in pain.1234 copyright protection899ＰＥＮＡＮＡsryDGS6ioL 尼903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvy98drNHG

After that, everything ended quickly. The spasm that clenched her body died away, and her tremulous breathing drained into silence. I was sitting cross-legged on the floor, facing away from my mother, yet I could envision everything that had happened. Her painful, despairing struggle, which soon ceased into ice-cold lifelessness. I was scared to look back at her figure one last time. Outside, the ambience of wind and growing rain thrummed against the roof of the house, indifferent to the tragedy that had just left a blotch in my heart.1234 copyright protection899ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwXaweBA8W 尼903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ340wEkBtKs

Very soon, after my mother's tragic death, I heard ear-splitting sirens resonating outside the house. I recall standing in the backyard with my father, gazing coldly at the sun that was now shrouded by dark, intimidating clouds. At the rain that now pummeled down a smoke-grey sky, like all the tears sealed inside me. My father's eyes were drenched in sombre darkness, yet I could interpret a hue of bitter insanity clouded behind his stony expression. I ignored his dazed look, and buried myself in the dreary shadow of the clouds. 1234 copyright protection899ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDsIi2Vxrz 尼903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFF1KUeoik
