"Where am I? Why am I alone? Mom? Dad? Sis? Best? Oh. They're my friends! Hey wait!"
I ran towards them. Faster. My legs were burning. But everytime I took a single step, my body becomes heavy. I stopped. And I realized- they're gone.
I sighed. Tears were forming in my eyes. I can't take this anymore.
"AAAAAAAHHHHHH!" I shouted at the top of my lungs. "Lord, what did I do? Why is everybody leaving me? Am I not a good friend? Why did you do this to me?"
I didn't heard any reply. Ah! My mind had an idea. This is not real. This is not real. I closed my eyes and thought of those happy moments we had together as friends. I heard laughs, saw smiles and felt the hugs we had.
Tears flowed in my eyes. There is someone saying inside me that "That is not real. It is only your imagination." NO! THIS is not real. THAT is the reality! Right?
I composed myself. I saw a light. A bright yellow light. It feels like it is smiling to me, saying, "Hey girl. Come. I want to hug you. Stop crying. I'm here for you." I stood up, walked towards it. There was a curve formed from my face. And I decided to follow the light.
I walked. And walked. And walked. Faster. And faster. I was half running. Excitement. Happiness. Hope. Mixed emotions are inside me. I am alone versus this cruel world.
