Gone
Luna stared at the body not far away from her struggling to process what had just happened.
An explosion.
A big explosion like nothing she had ever seen before.
It was like fireworks.
BANG!
And then smoke.
A big cloud of white smoke, and as soon as it cleared, there was a body lying on the floor.
Still. She was so still and unmoving.
Was she playing a game?
Sleeping lions maybe?
She had to be, but then why couldn't she see the chest of her mother slowly rise and fall? And why didn't she have a small smile on her face like she usually did when she played a game?
Luna had to know, and she quickly closed the short distance between herself and her mum, and started to shake her body.
"Mum, mummy," she sobbed. "Wake up. Please wake up."
Her eyes flooded with tears as the reality of the situation dawned on her.
"No, mummy, no," she cried, throwing her arms around her mother's body.
She could have been there minutes, or hours before her father came and found her.
Time had no meaning for her at all. All she knew was that her mother was dead, and she had been powerless to stop it.
