A lone little girl sat in a hard, plastic chair as hospital personal walked around her. Every once in a while, a nurse or doctor would look at her with pity in their eyes. Petra Quill ignores the outside world by playing her Walkman, remembering the good times with her mother rather than the bad. She looked up at her grand-dad gently took the head phones off. Looking depressed as her grand-dad took the player and shut it off. As he handed the player back to her, he muttered, "Your mama wants to see ya."
Sighing, the young girl got up from her seat and slipped her back pack on. As her grand-dad followed her to the hospital room, she felt him open her bag and placed the Walkman in it. Petra saw all her relatives surround the bed as she walked closer to her bald headed mother. She tried to smile at her mama as she stood next to her bed. Meredith saw the black eye her daughter sported and asked, "Why have you been fighting with the other kids?" The little girl looked down and shrugged.
Her grand-dad reminded his dying daughter, "Merry, don't you have a gift for Peter?"
Everyone watched as the woman weakly tried to pick up the gift until her dad picked it up and placed it in the little girl's bag with the Walkman. Petra listened as her mother begged her to take her hand one last time before the heart monitor went off. The little girl quickly lunged for her mama's hand, screaming, "MOM…..NO." Her grand-dad wrapped his arms around the screaming child and carried out of the room as the doctor and nurses rushed in. The little girl screamed and fought to get back to her mother's side.
"Stay here," her grand-dad ordered as he sat her down. "Just stay." He walked back into the room as Petra stood there in shock, crying. Unable to stand hearing the monitor, she ran out of the hospital into a grass field. Crying as she fell to her knees, praying for God to return her mother to her. She looked up as she heard a mechanical like noise, blinking as a bright light blinded her. Suddenly she was wrapped in a green-yellow light, screaming, "MOM" as she disappeared.
