A Short Story

The sky darkened and the wind got stronger. I held Sophie’s hand and I could feel her tremble. Suddenly the crowd came towards us and we remained still as we saw a gigantic wind whirling and swallowing everything that crossed its path – The Tornado.

Sophie and I started to run, but it was already too late. I felt her hand letting go off mine and I saw her body suspended in the air.

Screams rang out!

When I woke up, I saw nothing but dead bodies and other victims that had suffered the wrath of the tornado. Amongst them was Sophie’s body. I looked around trying to find out where I was. I saw a red cross and some doctors, and I realized that I was in a hospital.

Ten years have gone by and I’m standing in front of my sister’s grave.

Every day I wake up I see myself in the mirror, every time. I still can hear her scream and I can’t do anything but blame myself.

At this point, I just can´t take this anymore. This is when it all ends. No more nightmares. No more guilt.

I have loved you and I will always.

Please forgive me, Sophie,

Jack
