All that I could do...

‘Hello, I’m Stacie, a journalist from the Premier weekly, can you tell me what happened?’

‘......... No ...’

Nurse: ′ You should not be here, journalist, the guy needs to rest’

‘I’m sorry to disturb you at this condition, but you were the sole survivor, and if you could tell me’

Nurse: ′ Can you please leave...′

‘Oh, okay, sorry, i’d better leave...’

′ It was a lovely day, stacie, a very bright sunny day with spring clouds showering here and there.’

Take your seat.

Stacie sat down silently.

‘I went with my family to the carnival, my wife, my kid Dorien and our dog Valerie’, Gasp , ′ We were so happy, a new place, a new way of life, a better school for my boy, our lives ere just gonna get better.′

‘And then I heard a gun shot, should have been a bullet passing by my left ear. It just made me deaf, it was so powerful, so chaotic, i just fell, and my wife grabbed me, we were on our knees by then’

‘Valerie got frightened, she just fled, the poor dog.’

‘My boy Dorien, he just ran after Valerie’

‘A fleeting shot of gunfires, and my boy, my Dorien, he just fell, i wanted to believe he only got shot in the leg, but, but no, he fell’

′ Still unable to recover from these shocks, i crawled to my kid, held him to my heart, hoping a miracle would happen, hoping that he could hear my heartbeat, hoping that he could hear and wake up, but, but no...’

‘Words failed me’ ‘the world failed me’

′ and i looked to my side, and she wasn’t there’

′ I turned myself back to look at her, to get to her’

‘and , and, and she was there standing, I could not see even a single thought reflecting of her face. She just stood there blatantly. It was like someone took the love out of her, such coldness’

‘I could not hear anything, couldn’t see anything but her, and she fell to her side, time slowed, i watched her fall, it was so painful to look but it didnt’t stop, she was falling, it was like, like, like a whole life time, and she was there still falling’

‘And she hit the ground, the mob was gone, the gun shots were over, and everyone was murdered, i held her on my lap, my tears washed the dirt away from her face’

‘I cried so bad, i couldn’t cry anymore, i was drained of water, filled with extreme grief’

‘Valerie, she crawled to me, a moment of break i wanted,but, she just, fell right on my side’

‘my family was gone’

‘my family as gone, Stacie’

‘and here you are, to report this to your company, that’s only focussed on making money as a corporate, only making money of people’s pain and pleasures’

‘I’m sorry, sir, i don’t know, i just got nothing to tell you, you know, i got... , i gott’

‘Sir, are you all right, sir , can you hear me, nurse, nurse’

Nurse: What happened, what’s happening, oh my god, doctor, doctorrrr.....
