Author's note: This was witten for a class assignment in college. The instruction by our professor was "write a page of anything that will impress me" ... vauge much? It was worth 20 marks.. so after much brainstroming, I came up with this.
And the name of the child is Youichi due too my lack of knowledge of Japanese names.
Enjoy!
Oh and another thing... I didn't have a title for the original piece so can anyone suggest a better title than "Lost"

Lost
She lay there… still, motionless, numb, but still in pain. She could feel something wet on her right cheek.
Voices. She could hear the low frantic whispers of the people around her.
Heat. She could feel the heat. Yes, it was summer. But this heat was not the ordinary. It was like having a fever, so hot, burning her body and her head throbbing.
Confusion. She could now hear the commotion, the people talking loudly, the honking cars zooming past her, the urgent sirens.
"Pak!" Came a loud noise from somewhere. She assumed something had cracked, but she couldn't see what.
Smoke. There was too much smoke around her. It was choking her. She tried to open her eyes and see something, anything, but the smoke had blurred her vision.
Cold. The heat was cooling down. She could hear the water being splashed all around the place.
Water. Unconsciously, the water reminded her of Youichi. She was aware that she was getting late. She had to hurry up and pick Youichi from his swimming practice. It she were late again, he would be very upset. She didn't like seeing her nephew upset. Sure he looked extremely adorable while pouting, but she liked him better when he was smiling. He looked so cute. She loved him a lot. She imagined a picture of Youichi smiling at her. And she too smiled.
"Ahh!" but it hurt to move her mouth even this much. Maybe the cut was deeper than she thought.
Pain. There was so much pain. Her whole body ached. She couldn't even lift her finger without feeling like a heavy boulder was dropped on her. She felt trapped. But she had to get out of there, to Youichi, somehow. If only she could find a way out of this trap.
"Youichi…" she breathed out, with much pain and difficulty.
That was her last conscious thought as she slipped into the never ending abyss of darkness.
Hey guys! So what do you think about it? Is it good enough to score a decent 15 on 20..?? Please review and thanks for your time! :)
