DEFEANING SOUND

I never finished what she was going to say. I immediately let go of it and just sat down because of extreme weakness.

"Ana!" Vera hissed.

"Ana, what happened? Who called?" Rusty asked.

I was stunned for a moment. I felt like I was slowly drowning and not knowing what to do during those hours.

"H-Hector… is in the hospital."

 

I could feel the enveloping cold air as if it were hugging me. It was late at night and just as I was feeling, I could feel the sadness of the night. It is so gloomy which adds to the weight of how I feel. I feel like everyone is slowly killing me. I could feel the pain I was feeling slowly choking me and I knew I wouldn't be able to handle it anytime soon.

I don't know if I will be able to know his condition now that the operation is over. I'm afraid to know whether it's good news. I was afraid that I might hope that everything would be all right.
