Last Breath Of Life Novels & Stories

My breaths grew shallow. Nina’s tears blurred above me. The room dimmed at the edges. The last thing I heard before the silence swallowed me was the long, flat tone of the monitor. Time of death: 13:14, August 13th.

His heart wrenching. The last vestiges of her strength were fading, and her gaze dimming. With a last shudder she whispered something so faint he couldn’t hear it. But he knew, nonetheless. I’ll always know those words… She blew a last dusky breath and surrendered. Light exploded from her body. The house rippled beneath an onslaught of light and a sound like someone had tapped on a wine glass rising into a boom that coursed over everything. Flowers burst over the fields. Closed buds blossomed then tossed petals out over grass which rose inches in seconds as the light waved over. Weeds bent over and trees tipped. Animals fell briefly as the air was sucked from them as the wave surged over.

“What are you doing. Why would you do that. I was about to leave this place behind. Why will you not let me go.” I broke down crying. My knees hit the wet tiles, and every feeling I had buried rose to the surface. A slap landed on my cheek and stunned me. Morgan crouched down and stared at me with an urgent, fierce expression. “Stop crying. Dying is easy, but have you thought about this. Daniel installed twenty‑four micro cameras in this house. Even your bracelet has a biometric monitor.” She grabbed the smart bracelet I had left on the counter and threw it to the floor. She crushed it under her heel.

“It’s so hot, and this is an outdoor party. She’s suffering from heatstroke, yet she lies on the ground and continues to pretend. A cold drink will fix her right up!” Suddenly, I felt like I was about to die. My heart pounded violently, and my shoulders started shaking. I gasped for air, but nothing reached my lungs. My throat let out harsh, ragged breaths. The guests saw that something was wrong with me and stepped back in fear. “She… she’s not actually dying, is she?” Ethan’s eyes widened. His whole body trembled as he froze in place.

Blood trickled from her nose, her skin paling rapidly. She turned to him, her lips trembling but smiling still. “Take care of her… tell her I loved her more than life itself.” “No,” he choked, pulling her into his arms as her strength drained away. “Stay with me. Please, don’t leave me like this.” She smiled weakly down at her child, whose cries had softened into sleep, eyes wide as though she understood. The seal was complete as the glow around her dimmed. “My little one,” the mother whispered, her last breath against his chest as she collapsed more into her husband's body. “Live. Even if I do not… live.”

And at last, I relaxed in the icy, unending chasm. The subsequent breath, my last prayer, was like a faint, frail whisper in the wind. I felt my chest rise and fall again, but not enough this time. As the last of my body struggled to survive, Daniil’s voice cried out my name. In a cruel turn of events, however, my last breath was taken from me, not by the wound or the bullet, but by the heartbreaking knowledge that the struggle for survival was far from over. And I was losing the one thing I had battled for. Is Neomi going to live, or has the darkness taken her for good?

’ Suddenly, the muffled sound of a door being violently thrown open echoed through the line. Kaelen’s heart forcefully skipped a beat, his hands tightening instinctively around the steering wheel. “Matt! What on earth happened over there? Answer me!” However, the one who responded to him was not Matt. “Where are you?” Hearing Scarlett’s voice, Kaelen’s face shifted drastically. “What’s wrong?” After a momentary stillness, Scarlett spoke, her words cutting through the air with agonizing slowness. “Your Luna, Iris, and the pup in her womb are both dead.”

Tears brim his eyes and the last question comes out in a shaky breath. My tears stream down my face for the millionth time today. The round diamond sparkles spectacularly like the stars in the night sky. It's absolutely stunning. All the pain and suffering have led us to this moment. This moment in time where we can finally accept that nothing will stand in our way and nothing will ever tear us apart. We are it for each other forever. "Yes," I whisper. The End

I'm not afraid to die but I'm afraid to live with a constant fear of what will happen when I will take my last breath. +●+ Everyone is teary eyed listening to the speech of Mary's husband, Michael. He must have loved her too much to give such a heart-warming speech which made almost everyone teary. I heard from Henna that they were married for 40 years, it must be hard for the old man to lose his life partner at such an old age where death is inviting him too. Everyone is gloomy and sad, a melancholic atmosphere prevailing in the arena just like it should but I still can't feel the agony, I still can't shed a tear, I don't feel sad.

There was a brief silence on the other end before Mom spoke up with concern. "Isn't your seventh anniversary with Lucas coming up? Shouldn't you stay with him for that special occasion?" I let out a bitter laugh. "That won't be necessary." After hanging up, I booked my flight. At dawn, Lucas pushed open the door to our house and walked in, looking a little worn out. When he saw me sitting in the living room, he smiled and walked over. "I spent the whole night observing the skies. I'm so exhausted," he said.
