Limited Days

Life. Why is it so difficult? It gives you power to breathe when the air is polluted. At the same time, it also gives you the possibility to breathe in all the bad chemicals that make you fall to your knees and choke. It lets you feel moments of great glory and success. Yet, life comes around and makes you feel pain that is almost unbearable. In life, there is no in-between, it goes up or it goes down.

For Catalina Forenzo, the cycle of Life was something she never thought about. Life was something someone simply lived from the time a person was born in their mother’s arm to the time he or she died. That’s how it works. When she was a child, she was considered young and new to the world. Everything was seen through color and it was simply okay to make mistakes. By the time she had white hair, she was supposed to be old and wise. Letting the generations pass, her life was supposed to be fulfilled. Of course there were those rare occasion with kids dying from cancer or diseases, but they all knew they had limited days. Everyone else just simply lived without fear believing they would reach the old age of ninety. However, Catalina Forenzo did not know what life had planned for her. Everything would take a turn for the worse.

For Catalina, life was at its peak before everything around her went falling down. What did life plan for her that made living almost unbearable? Would death be inevitable in her near future? How long would it take for her to fall with it?
