An Accident

Have you ever wondered, what it feels to search your daughter in a crowd of blood-stained corpses?

Cars overturned, families wailing and everything reduced to debris.

Heaviness descended.

My body numbed.

I searched my daughter everywhere, glancing at every despair face. Running insanely to see her one last time, draw her close to my heart and say; "I will miss you".

There… yes, there I found my daughter. She was yelling, caressing a half burned face placed on her lap.

Helplessly, I wept.

Her terrible screeches would make even a dead cry.

The lifeless carcass on her lap was me.
