I found myself suspended above the ground, a disembodied observer gazing down at the scene unfolding below. There, in the dim light, lay the shed. Inside, a girl was sprawled on the floor. Her face was as pale as freshly bleached linen, and blood bubbled grotesquely around her lips. Her body was contorted at unnatural angles-how many bones had been shattered? Was that… me? Had I truly crossed over into the realm of the dead? A wave of bitterness surged through me. It felt so unjust, so cruel. I had taken my last breath just a heartbeat before Mama arrived to rescue me.
I longed to follow her, to escape to the city beyond, to embrace a life filled with possibilities I had never dared to dream of. If only I had managed to hold on just a moment longer. Just a fleeting second. Yet, despite the tragedy, I felt no regret. I had done something meaningful. I had freed Mama from this wretched place, a prison that was never meant to contain her spirit. As the shed door creaked open, a nauseating stench of blood and decay surged forth, enveloping everyone present in a suffocating embrace.
The crowd recoiled instinctively, hands flying to cover their noses in a futile attempt to ward off the foul odor. A bodyguard flicked on a flashlight, its beam slicing through the darkness and illuminating the far corner of the shed. There I lay. My face was a sickly shade of blue-gray, and dried blood clung to my lips like a macabre reminder of my final moments. My body was rigid and contorted, resembling a discarded doll, broken and forgotten.
