Ni Hao,
My name is Hong Kong, and I've been in a coma for over 5 years.
The day I fell unconscious is a day I'll never forget. It happened on a normal Monday night, when me , Teacher, Meimei and everyone else were having dinner together...
"Hong Kong! Time for dinner! And don't forget to leave your fire crackers outside, aru. No one wants to see them blowing up inside the house!" China called from the porch of his house.
Hong Kong looked up at China and nodded. China smiled and walked back into the bamboo covered house. The wind on that afternoon was refreshing. It blew threw Hong Kong's short, dark brown hair. Birds flew to their nest in a near by tree and the sun was on it's last legs. Hong Kong took in a long sigh, and stood up of the soft, green grass. The smell of dinner was finally reaching him.
Tonight we are having...Dumplings and Char siu? Hong Kong thought.
"Hong Kong! We're all waiting for you, aru yo!" China called from the front door.
"Oh yea, sorry." Hong Kong said, and started walking towards the front door.
That night, I had done something horrible. I left the fire crackers outside. Yes, that's what Teacher told me to do, but that's not what he meant. He always means on the porch, and I knew that, only I forgot in the brief moment of peace. The fire crackers fell out of my pocket and next to one of the many flammable trees...
"There you are! We were kinda worried." Taiwan greeted as Hong Kong walked into the dining room.
"You shouldn't have been. I was only out there for a few minuets." Hong Kong said and sat down in his seat, which was between South Korea and China.
At the table sat China, Hong Kong, Korea, Taiwan, Japan, Vietnam, Thailand, and Tibet. It was a rare chance to get Vietnam to come, her being busy and all. Tibet normally didn't show up so that was nice too. They had a feast of many different Asian foods on the table, and after words were exchanged, they all dug in.
"Mmmm! Your cooking tastes so good, Teacher!" Taiwan said, taking a bite of some of the noodles and dumplings.
"Thank you, Meimei." China smiled.
"I agree with Mei! Your food is best, Aniki!" Korea laughed.
"Hai, very good." Japan said.
"Thank you very much." China proudly said.
"Oh, hey! Have you all heard about the storm that is coming this way and will be here tonight?" Vietnam asked, slurping noodles into her mouth.
"No, I haven't. Is there really going to be one?" China looked up from his food.
"Yea, I heard it on the news this morning." Vietnam said.
There was a bang sound from outside, and light flashed from the windows. It took only a nano second for it to appear and disappear.
"And you were right, aru." China said.
Vietnam nodded her head and the table fell silent. Everyone was eating their food. Well, other then Hong Kong. Hong Kong slipped his hands into his pockets, to realize he dropped his fire crackers. He began to sweat when he realized they must have fell out by one of the flammable trees. He had to go get them now before something bad happens and he gets yelled at by Teacher.
"T-teacher. May I be excused from the table." Hong Kong asked.
"Why? You haven't eaten a thing. Are you okay?" China asked, looking worried.
"Uhhhh yeah. I'm fine. I just left something outside." Hong Kong said, trying to avoid China's gaze.
"Hurry up, aru. There is already lighting outside." China said, turning back to his food.
"Thank you." Hong Kong said.
Hong Kong sat up and ran out the room. He stepped onto the porch to find it already started raining. He ran over to the tree and found the fire crackers. He picked them up only to find they were stuck the the tree.
Shit, not good. Hong Kong felt horrible.
He pulled and tugged on the string, holding all the fire crackers together, but it still wouldn't move. The rain came down harder and lightning stroke near by. Hong Kong began to panic, but still had his emotionless face.
Then it all happened.
China walked out onto the porch to see why Hong Kong was talking so long. He saw Hong Kong struggling to pick something up and was about to run over to help when a huge flash of light blinded him. The lightning's force threw China against the porch wall, also hitting his side on a chair. China heard the sound of crackling, then sizzling, then a bang. The yell of his brother was mixed somewhere in there as well.
"Hong Kong?" China stood up and looked around to see fire. Fire all over the lawn and even on a tree.
The same tree Hong Kong was struggling to pick something up by.
"Hong Kong!" China ran out into the rain to see his brother lying in the wet grass, motionless.
"Teacher? Whats going on?" Taiwan walked out of the front door to see China struggling to pick Hong Kong up.
"TEACHER!" Taiwan screamed and ran over to help. This also got everyone's attention.
"Someone call 911~!" China yelled to the others, while he and Meimei dragged Hong Kong inside.
…
"Mr. Wang?" The doctor called.
China stood up from the cheat, plastic chair he sat in and walked over to the doctor who called him.
"Yes? How is my little brother?" He asked.
"Were afraid he won't be waking up anytime soon. He is in a coma, sir."
Tears formed in China's eyes. China walked into the hospital bed room and stood beside his younger brother, Hong Kong. Hong Kong was unconscious in that very bed. His hair was messy and bruises covered his face.
"Yào xiǎoxīn, xiōngdì. Bùyào ràng wǒmen qǐng." China whispered to his brother.
…..
Yào xiǎoxīn, xiōngdì. Bùyào ràng wǒmen qǐng.= be careful, brother. Don't leave us please.
