The sound of people, the beeping machine, my blur vision, my chest in pain, suffocate breath, gasping and gasping trying to breath. I can see them, telling me to hold on, those people, their hands are covered with blood, my blood. I can hear them but I cannot say a word, they take me to this one room with this big lamp which can blind your eyes, then they put me to a sleep.
This morning the sound of the birds chirping on the tree near my window feels so different, it is not a noisy sound but rather the kind of sound which calms your soul. I lean to my window and see the clear blue sky, yes it is pretty as usual, so bright, blue and cloudless. My body feels sore after the surgery, the doctor told me that I was such a lucky person, even though the bullet went through my chest, but it didn't injure my heart. I guess I am lucky to be alive once again, suddenly someone is entering my room,
"You already awake Kath?"
"Oh, Will you are here"
"I was so worried, you were unconscious for almost three days after your surgery"
"Really, three days, wow that is my new record, I even barely asleep at night" I laughed a little
"You lost lot of blood you know, I thought I've lost you" William gives me a light kiss on my forehead
This man is William Hennessey, my fiancé, we've been together for almost 2 years, and he's three years older than I do. We met in a party, love at the first sight if I may say. He looked so handsome in his suit that night, I was caught looking at him because for me his figure made me charmed, especially his eyes, and he has beautiful hazel eyes. I could watch his eyes for long time and drown into it. He's very kind man, a gentleman who always watches my back, for sure I can rely on him. I think I'm lucky to have him.
"The police officer asked me yesterday to inform them if you awake, they want to interrogate you"
"I don't know Will...I really don't know if I could give them any information, it was happened so fast and it was rained hard, all I could remember this woman was very upset toward me"
"You didn't know who she was?"
"I have never met her before"
"That strange..."
"I know, right?"
"You shouldn't push yourself to remember it, is it okay if told the police officer to interrogate you this afternoon?"
"Ok..."
I rest my head on the pillow, the surgery wound on my chest is hurting, I try my best to inhale and exhale properly. I guess the effect of the drug on me is fading away, alone in this room makes me remember the thing which might or might not happen, did it all just a dream? It didn't make sense at all. My encounter with the creature on a place which practically not from this world puts me into deep thought, really another chance to live, it might just a post traumatic dream after the eerie incident. I mean if I'm already dead, I wouldn't be here right, it just can't be.
Few hours later in the afternoon, two police officers and a detective visit me, they interrogate me about the shooting incident. They ask some description of the woman who shoot me at that day, unfortunately I couldn't remember her figure, because both of us were soaking wet in the rain, all I could remember that she was crying while pointing the gun at me. She was shouting so many horrendous words toward me.
"It looks like a dead end, is there any special feature you might remember about her, Miss Hartthrow ?" one of the police officer ask me
"I told you it rained cats and dogs at that day, her face was covered with the rain"
"Is there any incident which trigger the shooting incident...anything you could remember?" next the detective asked me.
"No, not at all, I don't thing that I have any enemy, I never knew who the woman was"
"It looks like we only depend on that cctv, even the image may quite blur. You're lucky if it was not because of that cctv on that dark aley, people may not find you" said the second officer
"We will do our best to catch her, who knows she might be a dangerous serial killer, thank you for your cooperation Miss Hartthrow" said the detective.
After almost two hour of interrogation, once again I am alone in this hospital room. I can see the sun is getting set, the gradient color of the sun reflects on the cloud, it creates colorful scene as if the sky is painted with the color of orange, red and purple. Busy traffic, the cars rush each time the traffic light turns to green,it seems that everyone have their own matters. The circle of endless routine,the scheduled life, I think I have too many time to watch and think about life, I've never been idle before. I am the kind of person who always wakes early and comes home late, I love my job, and I earn it hard. Do people envy me because of my successful life or my appearance? I know that I am physically attracting, I have this beautiful long golden hair, sparkling blue eyes, and thesexiest body that no men could ever resist me. Yes, men for me they are easy to catch even though most of them knew that I am engaged to William, but each party or even simple night out in a bar, I could see them turn their eyes on me, watching over me from head to toe, I am irresistible to them, everything was flirtatious game play, nothing serious. My heart just faithful to my beloved fiancé, who will be my future husband and I hope the wedding bell will ring up soon. Drown into my own thought, I am not realizing that the Giant black cloud creature is watching me. I cannot believe what I see, it was not a dream, and everything was real that means I only have 6 months to live if I don't do all the things which are written in the contract.
