Adrenaline

A simple mistake can cost you someone else's life.

"To me, he was always a good person. I never would have imagined he could be the murderer until I saw what was inside his medicine cabinet."

 

It’s been 4 days, 2 hours, 30 minutes, and 5 seconds since she took her last breath. It's been 4 days, 2 hours, 30 minutes and 6 seconds since I last saw her smile. It's been 4 days, 2 hours, 30 minutes and 6 seconds since my world lost all its meaning.

Slap. Just like that I was sucked out of my abyss of thought.

"What did you do that for?" I shouted back.

"Because I've been talking to you for the past 10 minutes and you've been completely ignoring me. I've had enough of your attitude. You think you're the only one who lost her? Well, she was my daughter too." He shouted back.

I didn’t reply. I knew this isn't going to end well; our conversations haven't ended well in a while. Sarah was the only thing keeping us together and now with her gone I felt like I had no reason to fight. As if all the fire in me has died.

People always say that you don’t know what you have till you lose it. Well, they are wrong. I knew Sarah was one of a kind. I know that not in a million years will someone bring me that amount of happiness she brought to me. She was my own miracle, but yet she was taken away from me in the blink of an eye. I know he didn’t mean it. I know her death was nothing but a careless mistake. I know he will carry the regret his whole life. No matter how much I try to forgive him, I can't.

Slap

"STOP IT." I screamed back furious.

"I'll stop it when you stop ignoring me." My husband replied.

"Oh, sorry. I didn't know I am supposed to listen to the murderer of my daughter."

"I didn't kill her!" he says stepping closer.

"Yes, you did. You also wouldn't have told me, if I didn’t realize that there were two Adrenalin missing from the medicine cabinet." I stepped back and simply walked out of the door.

I knew that from this day onward I wouldn't have to live with the murderer of my daughter. I also knew from this day onward I will never see my husband, the love of my life, again.

It seems like all that I love has been taken away from me somehow.

Great story telling. This did justice in the realm of getting the message across. Great message. There's lot of times where a story can have a great message to aim for, and have a lot of under lining things but then no one gets it, and if no one gets it, then the point has failed. But in my opinion this did well to get the message across. You made it clear, which is why I think it's good. Keep up the good work. What was also great was that I could imagine the story as I read it, and that is also a strong point of stories. The ability to have the reader imagine it because after all we're reading not watching it, but it was as if I was there as I read this, and that is great. Great visuals and great story telling. It had plot and substance. When you add substance to writing it gets that much better. It gets the reader hooked on it and make them feel as if they are part of it. As long as their is that emotional connection between the reader and the story then it's good. The connection you were able to established in the writing gives the reader a sense of comfortably that they are in tune with the writing. So that way when the writing is over, the reader wants more, and wishes it didn't end. I feel the same way when I watched a movie or tv series that I get so attached to, I never want it to end. And for this writing, I didn't want it to end. You had me hooked, and I am sure everyone else who read it was hooked as well. That is good, that is what you want for people to keep wanting more. The way you put the story together makes me feel like my life is different for that moment in which I read your story. I love it, and it was beautiful. Just keep posting stories like this, and you'll have a good following.
