1988 Earthquake

The earthquake that took away , the most priced possession of my life away from me , and forced me into something so gruesome and disgusting, something that ruined my life,my dreams , something that took my soul with it , i was forced to sell my soul to the devil,to stay alive as a corpse, i tried killing myself  thinking that the sounds in my head will cease believing that the pain will go, the miseries will end but i was wrong , the guy who took me away from my ailing father and dead mom was not really helping , he saved my life and took me to Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal, i was treated at the local hospital for minor bruises ,but i felt no pain,i was lost in space,one moment i was sleeping with my parents and the other i saw them struggle for their lives,well actually it was just my father who was struggling , my mom and the little baby inside her must have died on the spot, i was filled with melancholy , the tragic demise of my father and mother ceased all the desires and ambitions and dreams of mine , i had always wanted to see a hospital,now i was sitting in one of them ,yet i felt nothing, my fathers dream of making me a doctor had died with him,i was not interacting with the nurse who was trying to be considerate of the fact that i was a eight year old girl who had lost her family few hours ago, my tears had dried up, my life had taken the most tragic turn, i remember there were many people along with me in the hospital, which was filled with the smell of blood and cries of loss and pain and there were doctors and nurses running around to help everyone and anyone who was brought in , but i am they could not do much about the situation, i was treated and given some medicines , after which the guy who had brought me in,took me with him 

Thanks for reading the story will continue
