Her Pillar

"Dad?" Holding her breath, she could feel her heart jolted.

'This can't be!'

'It can't be true!'

What happened to her?

Why she's imagining things right now?

This man in front of her is already dead a long time ago.

Memories came flashing into her mind.

They were on the edge of the cliff. The force of gravity was pulling her dad's stretcher.

With her weak body, she was gripping the side railing of his stretcher to stop the wheels from rolling down.

She used all her strength left to save him.

She held his hand all her life not wanting to let him go but fate intervened.

Under the scorching sun, her frail body collapsed along with the blasting plunging sound.

She lost her dad.

Her hand slipped from his.

Her dad died because of her.

All she could see was darkness but she could hear her mom's sorrowful scream.

That was the most painful at that time.

She was helpless.

She was a useless daughter.

She let her father fall into the water.
