Tuhua day 4- the day one left us

Day 4

Dear diary,

I woke up that night to screaming,terrified.

Anna was clutching her stomach,battling excrutiating bursts of suffering.

Zuleka was quietly sobbing, for we were all she had left on this island.

We couldn't help our friend, so, powerless, I felt to blame.

Anna's screaming seemed to slow, the loudness fading.

Fantastic! This unfortunate suffering had stopped.

Anna's eyes drooped, so Zuleka reached out to feel a steady pulse flowing through the veins of Anna's wrists.

As Anna calmed, her pulse dropped its pattern.

Startled, Zuleka yelled to my trembling wreck of a body,

"Hurry up! Just do something to make her well again. We're losing her!"

I tried to hold back the tears, but he continued to run down my cheeks like a river rolling down a mountain.

Just then, Anna's pulse went altogether.

Zukeka and I clutched each other,my tears dripping onto Zuleka's shoulders.

Anna's corpse lay on the grassy ground, motionless.

The saddest and ultimately depressing thing was that Anna's parents had no way of knowing that their beloved daughter had passed on, into the beautiful land.

I stared at the ground, conjuring up some comforting words to say to my distressed friend Zuleka.

"oh, isn't this terrible," a mysterious voice called out to us.

Oh my word! A silvery mist wisped in the wind.

This spirit dancing in the wind was grinning at us.

From that smile, I knew it was Anna, but not quite complete.

She explained to us the torture she had gone through, just by swallowing a few mouthfuls of the black lake water, before I had changed the substance.

Zuleka ran to Anna, her eyes bright with thankfulness. As Zuleka reached Anna, she put her arms around the mist and attempted to hug this spirit.

To Zuleka's disappointment, there was nothing to hug, so Zuleka simply became wet with the moisture in Anna's spirit mist.

Although Anna was a spirit, she was still our friend.

that's all for now,
