Alvin leaned back on the chair while exhaling. The young man looked glum in the waiting chair in front of the PACU (Post Anaesthesia Care Unit) room. He was sad because his mother hadn't woken up after undergoing surgery last night. Even though Alvin had been sitting waiting for hours, the doctor kept saying that his mother's condition still had to be monitored.Alvin's teary blue irises then rose to look at the glass door of the PACU room. He could see his mother lying pale on the bed. Many tubes were installed to support his mother's condition and it made Alvin very sad. A single tear finally fell from the corner of his eye.Alvin immediately wiped it away while whispering hoarsely, "Please wake up soon, Mom.... I miss you so bad...."Alvin Alexander had never felt this devastated before. Sarah Stone, his mother, had a sudden accident last night when she came home from work. It was a rainy and stormy night in Denver City, and his mother had gotten home later than usual. Alvin was an

Tears. Depression. Everyone present at Riverside Cemetery today showed the same expression. This noon, the funeral of the late Dianna Cooper was being held and all the relatives had gathered.Albert Cooper observed the surroundings. Almost the entire Cooper family had gathered around the cemetery. That was a good sign. However, Walter's entire family was actually present as well. All of them.

No one knew tha

"Let go of me, damn it! How dare you stop me?!" Alvin shouted rebelliously like a child.He was only being pulled gently by John, but his body was dragged so easily that it took him out of the bar area."You bastard!!!"Alvin shouted again at John and immediately aimed his kick at John's back knee. Of course, his attack didn't work, because John could very easily avoid it. Not only did he dodge it, John also turned his body and kicked Alvin's back knee.It hit! "AARRRRRGGH!!!" Alvin was now screaming loudly in pain.His body collapsed, both knees hitting the ground. He screamed and whimpered loudly while hugging his knees with one free hand."ARRGGHH!!! MY KNEES!!!"John still didn't release his choke from Alvin's other hand, while he just stared flatly at his young master writhing in pain on the ground like a worm."Get up!" John said finally.
