The ECG machine produced a high pitch sound.
I looked up from the book I was reading and rushed over to her praying the machine must have had a dysfunction.
It didn't.
Tears streamed hot on my cheeks as people clad in white and blue rushed in and blocked my view
My mother is dead
The very woman who brought me into this world is dead.
The very one who taught me is dead.
I want to see her beautiful face
I want to hear her stories about life in boarding school.
Pressure built up on my chest and I sailed loudly, pleading to God to miraculously bring her back
But nothing happened
The atmosphere around me changed and I knew I've been transported into the other world as I call it

I slowly forgot about the whole ordeal and started focusing more on my studies
Prayer was something I did only morning and night instead of my usual way of constant fellowship with God
I now realize the gift I have is for things like this

With long life I will satisfy him and show him salvation
Mama is only 32 years old and from the looks of it, she hasn't enjoyed her life to satisfaction
I felt something warped around my whole being and I smirked as the familiar double edged sword formed in my hand
"I come in the name of the Lord Jesus " I spoke and charged before him
