Before I Die Young
Mountain Riveri gave him ten years, he gave my place to his first lovei gave them my kidneys they gave me hatredmy sister killed me with kindnesskailan crying
There was no ointment, so I gave up and fell asleep like that.
In the middle of the night, a high fever dragged me out of sleep. My throat burned like fire.
I struggled to open my eyes and saw a familiar figure sitting at the edge of the bed.
It was Kian.
He sat hunched over, carefully applying ointment to the bruises on my arm.
I watched him quietly. “Kian, I’m dying. Will you grant me one last wish?”
His hand paused. “Stop talking nonsense. What wish?”
“Let me leave this place. I don’t want to die here, and I don’t want any of you at my funeral.”
