Elijah Maurer ruffled her hair in frustration. With her boyish haircut, he looked more like a boy when speaking and moving. He kicked a small stone blocking her path, not caring if it hit anyone. Did she care? Tsk.
She couldn't understand why everything that happened in her life that day was nothing but misfortune. Goodness gracious. She had no skin in the game. Annoying.
Her eyes widened when she saw a young girl laughing in the middle of the road. Good grief. Where was that child's mother, leaving her alone like that? What if she got hit by a truck? Such bad luck.
Her eyes widened even more when she saw a garbage truck approaching the laughing girl who was jumping around. Some people saw and shouted for the child to move aside. Imbeciles. Were they using their brains? Why didn't they just go to her?
Without thinking, Elijah ran to where the girl was and pushed her out of harm's way. Unfortunately, she was the one who got hit by the truck. The impact sent her body flying several kilometers away.
The truck just kept on driving, indifferent to the crime it had committed. Meanwhile, Elijah was bathing in her own blood.
She managed to briefly open her eyes. Her vision was becoming blurry.
"Damn bad luck. I tried to help and yet I'm the one who ends up like this. Damn it!!!"
She closed hee eyes, and around her bloody body were onlookers who did nothing but take photos of her bloody body. Some even went live, turning her situation into entertainment. Some called for help, while others just waited for assistance, not daring to intervene to avoid getting arrested.
"Poor girl, she's so beautiful. What a waste if she dies. I hope she survives."
"You're right, dear. If she dies, the world will lose some of its beauty."
"Where's the help? Have you called for assistance?"
"The ambulance is taking so long! What's going on? Why is help so slow in the Philippines?"
Her body was loaded into the ambulance. Upon arrival at the hospital, she was declared dead on arrival. It was over. Another beautiful person lost to the world
