here is a story i wrote for school.
Last Wish
This story is based on a time period when influenza or the flu, was killing millions of people across the globe. The flu is spread by contact. People would cough until the began to cough blood. This is a story of one man and his familly. It is told by a baby's pillow. I will warn you . There is no happy ending.
I lay here, unable to move. I watch while unable to react. I feel her pain, and i comfort her. She is still a baby, yet she sits and watches them carry another dead one. The body is thin. The sheets that cover the frail body are soaked with bloood. The men carring the dead where masks and gloves. As they walk a hand slips out of the covers. It is not wrinkled whith age. It is a pretty hand if you look past the blood. Then I recognise her. There is a ring on her left hand. It is small, but holds so much value. That is the ring that belongs to the baby's mother. YEt this is only his first loss.
