Tonia was walking on the highway with her mind scattered into pieces. She feels like life is not fair to her, she was given the sour water of life to drink. She is desolate without anyone around to console her.Tonia struck the main road without making sure the road was cleared before passing over, an oncoming vehicle almost ran her over. The man matched the brake with force. His wife was beside him in the car, she screamed "o' my god!". She thought her husband succeeded in knocking the girl off."Honey, go and check if she is still breathing," Madam Florence ordered her husband. The man fidgeted when he saw the girl lying on the floor. Within a few seconds, people gathered around the scene. In distant voices "You have killed her, you won't go freely."

All I care about is seeing my mom.A few minutes after we walked around the big hospital, we arrived at the ICU block. Having only watched it in movies, and patients in the ICU, it never occurred to me that one day in my life I will be standing, watching, and praying for my mother.I saw my mother with her eyes closed, breathing through the oxygen fixed to her. A pipe and mask connected to her mouth and nose. She laid down on the bed like yesterday's vegetable. How did she get to this stage? I asked myself.

Jay knew what his uncle meant earlier by his words, he wondered why his uncle can't direct the same strength he uses on him to advise his son to desist from an uncivilized act.
