Broken Tales (2)

What was funnier was how she dressed herself at that time in the morning. Of course she was not going to party at that time, was she! She was lost in herself, it seemed. She did not care to move though. She couldn't anyway. Doctors and nurses listened to her blabber patiently.


While she was living through the last morning of her life, he swore to himself not to party hard again and rolled back to sleep.
