What happened to me?648Please respect copyright.PENANAnucc5JRUKw
648Please respect copyright.PENANAMieJBgsber
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…648Please respect copyright.PENANA3cNSnGfUoh

Before what?648Please respect copyright.PENANAmYXWBY1f0K

Fear struck me like a hammer. I couldn’t remember…What happened during that walk home?648Please respect copyright.PENANACeMEY9UKHv
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.648Please respect copyright.PENANAvF2PZ3xEFp

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.648Please respect copyright.PENANAldqj9ePlbr

Maya…648Please respect copyright.PENANADYHOz4bbBT

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.648Please respect copyright.PENANAvSek4DUonl

“Ophelia…” She was wailing. “Please…Please open your eyes…”648Please respect copyright.PENANA7CvuNVOb9m

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…648Please respect copyright.PENANAOdIe9DHaHJ

“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…648Please respect copyright.PENANASUP56zXWkj

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.648Please respect copyright.PENANAPLrP9pfw8t

“Ophelia…No…No…You can’t be gone…”648Please respect copyright.PENANA5Er8KDexBt

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.648Please respect copyright.PENANAXnG80HG3w4

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.648Please respect copyright.PENANA8wzxuHTo0j

But why was I here? Why hadn’t I gone to heaven or hell?648Please respect copyright.PENANA3CyO5lNoBj
