What happened to me?1085Please respect copyright.PENANAj7aEgaLD9w
1085Please respect copyright.PENANAUxYze6sAW9
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…1085Please respect copyright.PENANAThNGIjjeoV

Fear struck me like a hammer. I couldn’t remember…What happened during that walk home?1085Please respect copyright.PENANAq1gNvr908p
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.1085Please respect copyright.PENANAkcD6Lx9RYx

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.1085Please respect copyright.PENANASxSTwKWxfC

Maya…1085Please respect copyright.PENANAjkKf9pFjKp

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.1085Please respect copyright.PENANAgF7nArkA5m

“Ophelia…” She was wailing. “Please…Please open your eyes…”1085Please respect copyright.PENANAcusH7NytSG

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…1085Please respect copyright.PENANAN259dJEXcD

“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…1085Please respect copyright.PENANAOWz7oIV1Q0

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.1085Please respect copyright.PENANAoTEgaYIxv4

“Ophelia…No…No…You can’t be gone…”1085Please respect copyright.PENANAHehv1eMC72

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.1085Please respect copyright.PENANAMisSojPSQN

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.1085Please respect copyright.PENANAkH4nVaRCMx

But why was I here? Why hadn’t I gone to heaven or hell?1085Please respect copyright.PENANAOwxSoCPlqU
