“Laura. My name is Laura.” The woman next to me whispered to me. I turned to her and our eyes met. But I also immediately avoided looking at her eyes and turned my attention to what was happening outside.A short smile drew on my lips, but I didn’t show it to her. I also felt excitement from my heart that seemed to jump for joy. However, what I felt for her, I put aside first and did not pay attention. I was afraid that I might not be able to protect her and that she might disappear from my life, as well as the departure of people who have been a part of my life before.So, I didn’t send in my feelings for her. Instead, I took courage in front of her and pretended not to care about her.Soon the armed men left. I heard her sigh and she seems so scared. But I did not look at her, but stood up and barely peeked outside.“Who are those people?” I was shocked when she approached me and put her shoulder on my arm. So, I step away from her a little and didn't look back.“We'd better get out
There is only one life of a human. So, as long as there is still hope to change all your mistakes or if you still have things you haven’t done in your life, start planning now. Because you never know what will happen tomorrow and when God will take back the life he has lent you.In these moments as I was fighting for my life, suddenly a lot of things entered my mind and my mother was one of them. Maybe if I had just listened to her before and if I had just followed her advice to me, this would not have been the end of my life. I wouldn’t be here in jail today, and could be the two of us are still together until now. Might be I protected her and did something for her.My hearts were full of remorse. That I almost lost hope and felt like I just wanted to give up. I didn't realize that tears were already dripping from my eyes as I fought the zombie that was on top of me. At that time, it seemed like I just wanted to let go and let him kill me. After all, my life is useless and there is n
“What are you saying? I almost believe in you.” Simon said with a streak of smile on his lips. I just also smiled and turned my head.I was silent for a few minutes when the two men I had encountered earlier suddenly approached me.“About what happened earlier, we apologize to you. I hope you will forgive us.” A man said as he handed me a choco pie. I looked down at the food he was giving me and I accepted it.“We were just really scared earlier, so we did that.” One of his companions said that, so I turned my gaze to him.“Let's forget about that.” I just responded to them and they both smiled.“I'm Ramil, and he's my younger brother, Raven.” Ramil said, so I introduced myself also to them.“Just call me Sixto.” I said, and then they nodded. Kaiser and Simon approached us to introduce themselves to the two brothers as well. Thereafter, we were talking a bit and laughing when I suddenly looked in the direction of Laura and Zero. They have been talking for a while, and it looks like th
We all heard loud screams, so I opened my eyes and then got up. I realized that it was Ramil who shouted as he stood in front of the window.“What's happening to him? Why is he shouting?” Kaiser asked who was next to me, and then he stood up to approach him.“Ramil, what's the problem?” He asked him once, he put one hand on his shoulder. Ramil turned to him with tears in his eyes and a frown on his forehead.“R-Raven …” He uttered as he trembled with fear. I got up and approached him as well. I glanced at what he had been looking at out the window and backed away when I saw zombies fasting his brother's body while his eyes were open.Simon, Laura, and Zero also approached us. Even they were shocked at what they saw and covered their mouths.“How did that happen to him? He's just with us here, isn't?” Simon whispered, and I looked at Ramil who was looked down while crying.It was impossible for Raven to leave the room because we all knew how scared he was of zombies. Besides, he had no
“This Raven is intelligent. They are very different from his older brother Ramil.” My father's voice as I quietly peeked at the door and was inside my dark room.When I was only seven years old, I got used to the fact that all their attention was focused only on me. I buy all the toys I want to buy, and I always hear good compliments from other people. But all of that has suddenly changed since my dad introduced Raven to me. He was Dad's son with another woman, and it was only then that Mom and I found out that he had another child and family before we became his family.My mother was very hurt because of that. I witnessed how she gradually sank into extreme loneliness and how she became addicted to alcohol. Morning to night, I often caught up with her in the kitchen. Sitting alone while crying and drowning in alcohol.As her son, I had a grudge against my father. I was angry with him, and I hated him as my father. Occasionally, I even tell myself that I wish I had never been born int
I thought that when we became close to each other, the good things in my life would continue, but it didn't.“Don't forget that he is your rival to your father. If you just let him enter your life, he will just destroy you and use you to take all your inheritances from your father.” The word I will never forget, my mother whispered to me.Despite everything, she still couldn’t accept Raven as my brother. She was very angry with him and hated him, especially when she saw him in our house.Because of that, I gradually avoided and moved away from Raven. I don't want to stay away from him, but I can't do anything because my mother is more important to me because she is the only one I have in my life.It seems that over time he has noticed that I am avoiding him. So, he confronted me and asked about the matter. But I could answer nothing but to drive him away and leave me alone.In those moments, I did not realize that tears were dripping from my eyes. I wondered to myself why I was crying
“I really didn't like what happened, and I'm ready to take responsibility for the sin I committed, but my older brother convinced me to hide the crime and keep the truth a secret from our parents.” Suddenly, I stood up to what Raven said in front of the supreme court. I couldn’t believe he was going to reverse the story and make it appear that I was the mastermind of everything. “That's not true …” I kept saying in my mouth as he looked at me sharply with tears in his eyes. As a result, the burden on my case increased, and I lost all hope of being released from that prison. I tried to fight for the truth, but I just failed, and he won with his plans. I retaliated with a strong punch to his face for what he did. But instead of being angry with me, he just grinned and stared at me. “Why did you do that? Why did you lie?” I shouted at him as I held him tightly by his collar. He grinned first before he responded to me. “Do you feel the way I felt when you cheated on me? What can you sa
We have been in the cell for over three days with some other inmates who have survived. The room we were in had a small space, and we could not move properly because of the number of people inside. We all just stood there and felt the heat inside because all the holes there we covered with stuff.“What's that? Say stay away from me.” Suddenly, our attention all went to a man with a tattoo on his left arm, who suddenly shouted and pushed an old man to the side.The people with us were shocked, and they didn’t seem to like what he did, pushing the old man. So, a young man dared to approach the old man and help him stand up.“Can you talk to him calmly? Why do you have to push him?” The young man said to the embroidered man. He turned around and looked at his companions, who smiled at what he said.“Hey, you. Would you mind your business? Don't get involved in this anymore. It's between the two of us, so don't pretend that you're really concerned about him. In fact, he's getting old and
