Chapter 1 Help!
…
“Out of the way, please, out of the way. Nurse!!…”She yelled as she ran after the man that carried her mother inside the hospital.
The nurses quickly brought the stretcher and the man placed her mother on it and the nurses took over from him as they wheeled her inside the ward.
“What happened to her?.”a nurse asked as they got inside.
“She.. she suddenly collapsed. Please, help me, treat her.”she sobbed.
“Hey, go get doctor Sam.”the nurse said to the other and she ran out.
The nurse placed her both hands over each other and over her mother’s chest and started pressing her chest trying to resuscitate her.
“Oh, please.. help me.”she sobbed.
“Take her outta here.”the nurse said to the man who has helped in carrying her mother to the hospital and he nodded.
He walked towards her and grabbed her hand but she yanked it away from it.
“Leave me, you expect me to leave my mom in this position?, no way!.”
The man sighed and grabbed her hand again that she couldn’t get out of his grasp despite several wriggles.
He took her outside.
The supposed doctor Sam ran in and asked the nurse about the situation.
Annie John sobbed quietly from the window.
It hurts.
It hurt so much to see her mother like that, in that condition.
It has always been like this.
A nurse barged out and she stopped her.
“Please, how is she?.”Annie asked worriedly.
“We are still on the resuscitating.”she replied and turned to walk away but Annie grabbed her hand.
“Is she responding?, huh?. _
The nurse sighed.
“I need to get doctor Larry. You can speak with him when he comes.”the nurse replied and dashed off.
Doctor Larry?.
“Who is doctor Larry?”she wanted to ask but the nurse was out of sight.
She took a step forward contemplating on following her but her inner mind rejected the idea.
She slid to the wall and ran her hands inside her hair and screamed.
Immediately, the light all went off and a soft dirge sounded inside the room also.

Different lights – red, blue, green, pink, purple and white which comes up once in a while rotated in the club.
Larry carried another glass of brandy and gulped it down in a Go.
He watched his friends as they danced and drank with the girls and rolled his eyes.
Just then, his phone started ringing on the table in front of him.
He grabbed it and seeing the number, he scoffed and drop the call.
He wants an alone and quite time this evening but it all seems to be interrupted with different calls.
He has barely placed the phone on the table when it started ringing again.
He grunted.
One of his friends smiled at him.
“From work, right?.”he asked and Larry nodded with an eye roll.
“Duty calls, doctor Larry, duty calls.”he said and faced the girl with him.
He decided to pick up the calls.
“Hello?, hey!, hello????”the nurse shouted over the phone.
The music is so loud that her voice sounded barely like a whisper.
“We need you at the hospital, I repeat, we need you at the hospital!!!.”
He cuts the call.
Damn Sam. He thought.
He stood up, took his car keys and pulled through the crowd.
“Hey, not even a goodbye?.”one of his friends yelled after him.
Larry shook his head and slipped through the exit of the club.
