What if?
When he takes a pill he survives by some cosmic twist and finds himself in a hospital with debt more than his life's earnings
Just when he was fighting against his inner fears . The silence of his house was broken by the shouting of the crowd
" FIVE "
Hearing the shouts Ben froze for a second and then walked towards the window .
"FOUR"
Outside the crowd was preparing to set fireworks.
"THREE TWO ONE"
Just when the countdown became zero the fireworks got out of control and instead of flying toward the sky it hit the window of a nearby house where Ben had seen a windowed mother and her daughter were living. And the house caught fire
Seeing the fire ben immediately rushed out of his house by the time he got there the fire was spreading rapidly
The shouting of the women was already becoming hoarse due to smoke. By the time the fire fighters will come the women and her child will remain in ash form only
Ben without waiting for help, immediately rushed inside the house towards the sound of mother's voice
When he got to the kitchen the mother was curled up on her daughter protecting her from the harm of the fire like the life of her child is more important to her even at the cost of pain
Ben took the blanket from his shoulders a gift from Maya she had given him last year draped it over the mother and daughter and rushed towards the door but the entrance was already sealed by fire
Left with no choice he decided to find another way out
The mothers eyes met his , wide with despair
Ben looked at her face and then the child's
"Please Ben you have to save my daughter"
The mother pleaded to ben in a choked voice
Ben nodded but inside his heart was filled with envy what if? His parents were alive will they also comfort him from the pain he was suffering
As his heart was in turmoil the shouting of fire fighters came from outside the house a ladder slammed against the walls of kitchen window
Ben immediately rushed towards the window where the fire fighters were waiting to rescue the mother and her child
"Here here" ben yelled
A firefighter helmet appeared in the window "we will help them, you first"
Ben looked at the mother, then at her daughter. He saw the years of loneliness in his future while the colorful life the child would have .
The choice was simple. He passed the mother and child to the fire fighter
"Your turn" the fire fighter shouted but ben didn't listen because his focus was on the gas cylinder that was going to catch fire Ben decisively pushed the fire fighter back who landed outside safely a fraction of time has passed after ben has pushed the fire fighter away the explosion happened
'Boom boom boom đź’Ą'
Ben didn't have time for a fraction of silence when his entire being got erased in a flash of light
