God

I remember I didn't hear any sound, I only saw faces. Terrifying faces.

I remember I didn't feel any pain and in that moment I had no idea where I was. I thought to myself, this is what it feels like to be dead. I wanted it to be a dream but it wasn't. It was happening and I was at the center of it. Everyone was staring at me and some were pointing at my body.

I saw his face, he was scared and he was panicking. He was trying to touch me but someone prevented him. All I wanted to do was go home to see my family. I prayed to God to let me. I’m sure that’s what he wanted to do too. I prayed to God to let him. I told God I was going to be the best 10 year old I could be. I begged Him to let me see my house one more time.

Instantly, I regained all my senses. I could hear and I could speak and unfortunately, I could feel pain. I saw my left leg covered in my blood, the butter colour of my clothes now red. It didn’t help that it was a very hot day.

In all this pain, I was thankful God had answered my prayers.
