In The Blink Of An Eye

My brother, Theo Sorento, died in a plane crash on his way back home just to celebrate my birthday. They never found his body—only wreckage. Ever since, my parents forced me to kneel in front of his grave every year on my birthday, demanding that I repent for surviving when he didn’t. Then came my eighteenth birthday. I realized someone was following me. Panicked, I sent a few messages asking for help. Just then, Mom called, not to check on me but to lash out. “I know exactly what you're doing. You’re just making up excuses so you don’t have to kneel in front of your brother’s grave! You’re a liar. Why wasn’t it you who died instead of him? You’re a walking curse!” Before my phone was smashed under a boot, the last thing I heard was the cold click of her hanging up. Then, I was cut up into pieces, and what was left of me was tossed across the city. My father, the lead forensic pathologist on my case, didn’t even recognize me. Later, Theo returned alive with his wife, whom he had eloped with eight years ago. When they found out the pile of rotting flesh was me, they all went insane.

My fiancé, Skyler Grant, barges into the art gallery where my work is being exhibited and trashes the place. "You plagiarized Leah's work and pushed her to jump off a building! I can't believe you have the gall to have an exhibition here! I have to seek justice for her!" He sets the gallery on fire, leading to stray glass shards damaging my eyes. I'm tormented by the pain of losing my work and vision when Leah Rivers returns. She says indifferently, "It was April Fool's yesterday, and I was just fooling around. You're not mad at me, are you?"

Para gumaling ang sakit ng kapatid, ibinigay niya ang sarili sa isang kakaibang lalaki. Makalipas ang isang taon, sa isang party kasama ang mga kaibigan ng kanyang bagong boyfriend, idiniin siya ng lalaki sa dingding ng banyo.

Ang ilan ay nasa hindi matiis na sakit, at ang ilan ay galit na galit na humihingi ng awa. "Maling tao ang nakilala mo, hindi pa kita nakikita."

Ibinaba niya ang kanyang postura at malungkot na nakiusap: "Master, please." Ipinasok ni Nicklaus ang sigarilyo sa kanyang bibig, kinagat ang dulo gamit ang kanyang mga ngipin, na may malamig na mukha at isang malamig na puso, ngunit ang kanyang mga mata ay sumalo sa kanya at hinila siya pabalik sa kabaliwan ng gabing iyon. Ang abo ay pumasok sa kanyang nakalaylay na kwelyo, at si Isabella ay nanginginig sa init, ngunit hinawakan ni Nicklaus ang kanyang kamay at hinila siya palapit. "Marami akong gamot, ano gusto mong palitan?"
