A hundredth of a second
‘Click’, the photography was taken. Her breath was
stopped for a while. She couldn’t imagine what had happened in a hundredth of a
second before, the longest second in her life. She will record this memory
until the end of her days, reminding her how impotent she was feeling. Maybe,
it would be a shocking picture that would raise a lot of money, but her eyes
won’t look as they used to.
She wakes up in every nightmare with teardrops in her
face. She won’t forget the girl’s eyes looking at her, a breathtaking moment
for the photographer. The girl was asking for help just with a look. She won’t
forgive herself for not saving that girl’s life from that man.
Life is too beautiful to snatch it from a young girl,
which needs lots of moments to remember and to live for. What an injustice.
This is the pathetic anthem of wars, ‘let’s see who does the cruellest thing’.
She’s utterly depressed, she puts make up in her face,
but the mirror only shows a shadow with no soul, with no breathing.
