The sting
#WritcoStoryChallenge
The footsteps following me sounded closer. I ran through the empty corridors of the hospital, my heart pounding with terror.
I turned a corner and stopped short. I had reached a dead end. Thoughts kept strolling in and out of my mind. "This is it!" "Tina is gone!"
I walked back into the ward where she laid, smiling with eyes wide open. 'was she smiling at me , even in death? ' I querried my thoughts. Tina was a very good friend. Cancer couldn't leave her be to enjoy the fruits she laboured for. several months ago, she had complained of a certain painful lump in her right breast, and she had started therapy. But according to the doctors, she had few months to live, as the growth had taken the best part of her health. That was how I lost a friend so dear.
Rest on, Tina! 😭😭😭
