My Collection of One-Shots and Short Stories

A young man sat alone inside a room. A lonely room, no voice nor sound of life could be heard except the breathing of the boy. He was alone.

"Life, boring me to death. There is no use for living..."

A single tear could be seen. He cried, alone...

"How can i live without seeing life? I'm just a rotting corpse, waiting for the end..."

He had lived in this room in his entire life. He could never go outside, never have a life to live and even he started to give up hope in trying to survive....

His choice? Was preparing to commit suicide...

"Stuck in this hospital, no regrets..."

Preparing a scalpel that he stole from a doctor, aiming his chest and ending his life. When a door clicked and a girl entered inside his room. A girl who carries a notebook and a pencil, she survey the area as she glanced at the boy. Both of them stared at each other before the girl started to panic and tried to stop the boy.

"What are you doing?"

The boy was confused at the girl's actions until he started to laugh at her. The girl was confused and saw that the boy dropped the scalpel, she sighed in relief.

She started to write something on the notebook and present it towards the boy.

[Hello.]

That was the first interaction between the both of them...

———————————————————————————————————————————————————

In just a few weeks, the conversation between the both of them were lively and the boy's dead expression started to brighten up. The girl couldn't talk because of her past trauma but even so, they had a fun time together.

But as each passing moment, the boy started to get weaker and weaker. His condition was worse after the fourth week of their interaction. The girl began to get worried and tried to cheer up the boy. Instead however, the boy cheered her up. Seeing this sad ending, the girl decided to make the boy smile by letting him see the outside world...

———————————————————————————————————————————————————

On a wheelchair, the girl and the boy went outside. For the first time, the boy began to cry as he saw the beautiful scenery for the first time. The beautiful flowers that bloomed, the leaves of the tree the falls gently and life on the outside world where children and parents are having fun together. He couldn't believe himself that he was enjoying the beauty of this world.

"I'll promise that i'll strive to survive and find my own path..."

The smile of the boy was free of depression. He was now given hope to survive...

———————————————————————————————————————————————————

In the surgery room, he was given a chance to live a proper life but it only gives me a small chance to survive because of his current health. He accepted his fate but he still strive to survive and will not give up on living...

("Hey! Look at this!")

A young girl was walking while carrying a bouquet of flowers. A sad smile appeared on her face as she walked silently on a single gravestone.

("Hehe, i drew this myself. A picture of you and me with the background of the beautiful scenery of flowers and life...")

A beautiful art of two people could be seen as the girl started to cry. Dropping the flowers, she sobbed with all her heart as a voice came from her heart.

"Thank....you...."

("If one day, i hope that i can hear your voice. Even seeing you smile would make me happy...")
