EVERY NIGHT WAS MERE TORTURE WHEN YOU LIE IN BED UNABLE TO SLEEP YET FEEL OVERWHELMED WITH TIREDNESS. SALLY HAD NOT BEEN ABLE TO SLEEP FOR THE PAST YEAR NOW. EVERY NIGHT AS SHE LAY IN BED FEAR FLOODED IN HER THOUGHTS AND SHE WAS UNABLE TO SHUT HER EYES.
SHE HEARD LOUD SCREACHING SOUNDS, SAW REFLECTIONS AND SHADOWS AS IF THE FEARFULL THOUGTS WERE NOT ENOUGH. ALL THIS BEGAN THE DAY SHE HAD WITNESS THE DEATH OF HER CLASSMATE AS THEY WERE BOTH WALKING BACK FROM THE BOOKSHOP.
IT WAS DARK EARLIER THAN USUAL AS IT LOOKED LIKE IT WAS GOING TO RAIN. SALLY AND MIRA HAD PLANNED TO BUY SOME REVISION BOOKS AND COMICS FROM A NEARBY BOOKSHOP. GETTING BOOKS FROM THE BOOKSHOP WAS SOMETHING USUAL FOR THEM. AT 6PM BOTH OF THEM MET AT THE BUS STOP AND WALKED TO THE BOOK SHOP. THEY CHATTED ALL THE WAY AND NOT HAVING THE SLIGHTEST IDEA OF WHAT WAS GOING TO UNFOLD LATER ON. MIRA WAS A CARING AND JOYFUL PERSON. SHE ALWAYS KEPT TO HERSELF AND DID NOT HAVE MANY FRIENDS. BOTH OF THEM WERE ALIKE IN CHARACTER AND WERE MORE LIKE SISTERS.
BLOOD WAS ALL OVER HER CLOTHES AND BOTH HANDS WERE SHAKING UNCONTROLLABLY. EVERYTHING SMELLED PUNGENT AND HER LEGS FELT HEAVY UNABLE TO MOVE. THE SUDDEN LOUD RING OF SALLY’S ALARM BROUGHT HER OUT OF HER DEEP IMAGINATION. THIS HAPPENED DAILY THAT SALLY WAS NUMB OF IT. SALLY HAD BEEN GOING FOR COUNSELLING SESSIONS TO DEAL WITH HER FEAR. AS THE DAY PASSED BY MORE AND MORE SHE LOOKED LIKE A ZOMBIE AND TOTALLY WAS LOST DURING LESSONS.PARENTS AND TEACHERS UNDERSTOOD THAT SHE NEEDED TIME BUT AS IT HAD BEEN A YEAR, THEY WERE ALL WORRIED THAT SALLY MIGHT NEVER SNAP OUT OF HER FEAR.
OUT OF NO WHERE A SPEEDING CAR HIT THE PAVEMENT AND CRASHED ONTO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. EVERYTHING HAPPENED AT LIGHTNING SPEED THAT SALLY WAS IN UTTER SHOCK. AS THEY WALKED BACK, MIRA SAW THE SPEEDING CAR AND PUSHED SALLY OUT OF THE WAY, ONLY TO BE HIT HERSELF BY THE CAR. THE SOUND WAS SO LOUD AND SCARY THAT IT PIERCED INTO SALLY SOUL. THERE WAS BLOOD EVERYWHERE AND MIRA WAS STUCK AT THE TYRE. SKIN AND FLESH WERE TORN AND IT WAS A GRUESOME SIGHT. SALLY WITHNESS THE LAST MOMENTS OF HER FRIEND GASPING FOR AIR AS SHE DIED….
