What happened to me?1061Please respect copyright.PENANA3mZ88f46fy
1061Please respect copyright.PENANAKLBuEBHKUo
I looked around, confused. As far as I could see, I was standing on the side of the lonely road that lead to my house. There was no sign of my school bag, which was very odd considering that I had been walking home from school just a little while ago. And my notebook…I was sure I took it out before…1061Please respect copyright.PENANAWk8GCHOxcj

Before what?1061Please respect copyright.PENANAlnxarrVcy8

Fear struck me like a hammer. I couldn’t remember…What happened during that walk home?1061Please respect copyright.PENANAy5MRmKkrrq
Suddenly, I heard someone cry. A heartbroken cry that echoed loudly in the nearly empty place. I walked towards the sound almost mechanically. Curiously, I wasn’t shocked. It was as if some part of me knew…Knew what I was going to find just beyond the turning in the road.1061Please respect copyright.PENANAGyBRi0aZNJ

Lots of people were crowded around something. A girl was kneeling down, crying her eyes out. As I moved closer I realised who she was.1061Please respect copyright.PENANAycxR2LQLyK

Maya…1061Please respect copyright.PENANAU1TBsL4mW9
1061Please respect copyright.PENANAaOP7pYB8lj
My best friend. Her house is right next to mine. We used to walk back together after school but today…she said had something to do and stayed back. I had been alone on the walk back home.1061Please respect copyright.PENANANuYyvHCo70

“Ophelia…” She was wailing. “Please…Please open your eyes…”1061Please respect copyright.PENANAP496Zev4bb

Ophelia…I started on hearing my name. I called out to her, told her I was here and not to worry. But…Even as I said those things, I knew. A small voice had started to whisper in my ears that no one would hear me…No one will hear me ever again…1061Please respect copyright.PENANAIJVrpCMr5s

“Ophelia…Ophelia…” Maya cried again. There was something beside her. Something pink. My bag…I recognized the stickers I had put on it. My notebook lay next to it. Both of them were stained with something dark red…1061Please respect copyright.PENANAPDEl2M2Jhe

The crowd parted a little. I could see what they were all looking at. The broken, crumpled body with thick black wavy hair, covering her face…On her left wrist, there was a watch with a black strap. Something was written on it in elegant white letters.1061Please respect copyright.PENANAQGtUjF39t0

Ophelia...1061Please respect copyright.PENANA13XESl11ot

“Ophelia…No…No…You can’t be gone…”1061Please respect copyright.PENANAkvmYWu5N7N
1061Please respect copyright.PENANAW1WD20miA9
Her voice made tears start to my eyes. I sobbed for my poor desperate friend who was calling out to a person who was dead.1061Please respect copyright.PENANAgpjCl44a5Z
1061Please respect copyright.PENANAbipemW8nAf
The truth, the cold truth, was staring at me in the face. I was gone…Ophelia was gone. The thing that had been Ophelia to my parents, teachers and friends, now lay on the middle of the road – broken and unfixable.1061Please respect copyright.PENANAO5LU8idTWT
1061Please respect copyright.PENANA3escwqKmOV
But why was I here? Why hadn’t I gone to heaven or hell?1061Please respect copyright.PENANArqaIfskzea
