Dark Souls
I couldn't continue living in pain and agony. Losing the one you love is a terrible thing. After gulping  another bottle of alchol I laid on the bed feeling sick. It was two months i lost her. Two months of pain and hardship. Our wedding was going to be that very day. It was 12 pm. I was feeling drunk and hungry. "Happy wedding anniversary. " I congratulated myself drunk. I walked lazily to the kitchen to heat  the rice my junior sister had brought the other day. I was having a bad headache. Almost losing balance I rested on the kitchen counter. 
     Then I heard a voice. A sweet voice. I recognised it. "Mira?" I called. No one answered. There was a soft whistle. "Mira stop playing with me." I pleaded and opened the fridge. The cold breeze brushed my face. Then I saw her reflection. "Missed me?" She inquired. I rubbed my eyes and shut the fridge strongly. Then her face reflected clearly on the fridge. There was a smile on her face and A baby's head popping out of her stomach. I was nauseated. It reminded me of how she died. The accident. The baby's head. I shut my eyes. "Come and play with us." She pleaded. "No. No. " I rejected with my eyes closed. She turned around and I saw the view of her shattered brain. I threw up instantly. "We want you." She continued moving closer. I tried walking backwards. I didn't know when I slipped and fell hitting my head hard. "Come come. " She repeated till her voice faded away and my soul left my body.
