What happened to me?626Please respect copyright.PENANAtqmhCZmcn5

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…626Please respect copyright.PENANAi3Q9LMdhhP

Before what?626Please respect copyright.PENANAlRe9GocV14

Fear struck me like a hammer. I couldn’t remember…What happened during that walk home?626Please respect copyright.PENANAeuTYjJeEmj
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.626Please respect copyright.PENANAZ17OxnqkTD

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.626Please respect copyright.PENANALyVcRcUDap

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.626Please respect copyright.PENANAL8QX6ZJcCe

“Ophelia…” She was wailing. “Please…Please open your eyes…”626Please respect copyright.PENANAFj2eODfIDj

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…626Please respect copyright.PENANA4Jn0EaNIrZ

“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…626Please respect copyright.PENANAQwrflpnHOi

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.626Please respect copyright.PENANAuaSnhVamn2

“Ophelia…No…No…You can’t be gone…”626Please respect copyright.PENANAt996xEgwmk

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.626Please respect copyright.PENANA0UtCZ1C2IR

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.626Please respect copyright.PENANALbPEvpNSaM

But why was I here? Why hadn’t I gone to heaven or hell?626Please respect copyright.PENANA2oOjQmZ9dK
