I'm afraid of dying
#WritcoStoryPrompt115
Do you want to live because you are afraid to die? If you think something should be written about the question, go ahead and do so.
I'm afraid of death, and just thinking about it makes me feel uneasy. What if I was forewarned that I was going to die? I'll probably panic, or keep my composure, or make a list of things to put in my bucket and check them off one by one. If I do, however, isn't it a bit depressing?
I remember when I attended my cousin's wedding just last Jan 8, 2022. It was also the exact date and time when my father died. I would have whispered to my mother and sister about that instance, but, I didn't! Because I was worried that they might be scared and nervous, the trip back at our homes was long and my sister might be distracted from driving. I was in another car because we lived in different places. So it was just my sister and my mom in one car, we just went in a convoy that night. However, before we left the wedding, we agreed to grab coffee at the first café we came across for the sake of not falling asleep on the drive. Following that, we immediately set out to our destinations.
I thought... because of that coincidence, "I'm afraid of dying for the loved ones, I'll leave behind, not for myself." I returned home safely, with those I love and adore waiting for me. After an hour, my mother called to inform me that she was at home and that my sister had returned at their home safely as well.
