#Tell your story, Her Death Before My Eyes.

in creativewriting •  5 months ago 

A woman of age who enjoyed sitting outside by the the tall shady green tree. She was a lady l desperately disliked because of her old age and her tantrums. It never even came to mind that one day l would be found in such a situation.
This story dates back to 2016, l was young and didn't know better, l thought everything revolved around me and when l was not there everything stopped moving. I used to fight with this woman a lot , she used to accuse me and do everything old aged people do when their brain cells start to take them back to a young age. It was a sunny and cloudy day, that day she didn't go outside she said she was very sick and had a head. She called everyone and her daughter who was my grandmother , thinking it's just one of my tantrums she bid us fair well in my eyes and she slowly started loosing her breath, gasping for air, her head to the ceiling and her eyes saying goodbye she died in front of me. That was the most traumatic event of my life, then the what if began to come to mind and regrets flowed , if only knew, if only l would have treated her better , if only alas if only.
For days , months and years l did not enter her room because l could feel her presence and see flash backs of that moment in time when her eyes faced the ceiling.
