TRISTAN

Two days have already passed and this man is still asleep. He doesn't even bother by my loud singing or yelling for him to wake up—I was visiting him from time to time and I was worried because he doesn't seem to have any relatives, I don't want my tent to be stolen so I was left again with no choice but to carry it here on the hospital so I don't need to leave anymore.

"Wake up! Wake up, sir!"

I called out as I shake his large warm calloused hands—It was comforting to hold his hand into mine.

I'm starting to get bored sometimes that I started singing some nursery rhymes that I learn from the orphanage;


"Twinkle, Twinkle little star"


I sing as I close open my hands while moving my body like I'm teaching a toddler while seating on a stool in front of his bed.

"How I wonder what you are? Up above, the world so high, Like a diamond in the sky."


I continue as I clap my hands together—a little low since He was still unconscious.

"Little, Little, Little star, I don't know what the next lyrics are."

I sing before laughing at my own stupidness—It was getting annoying since he was still asleep.

"Come on! Wake up!"


I complained as I run my hand through my messy short hair—I have a scissors so my hair won't get long.



While I'm still busy complaining about this and that—The door suddenly opened. Revealing a haggard-looking man with a gun on his hands.

"Move out of the way kid, I'm just doing my job so you better not interrupt it."

The man said as he pointed his gun on the man who was still unconscious—I was startled.

"No!"

I yelled as I grab the stool that I've been sitting on and I didn't hesitate to throw it at him and he was hit by the stool that he let go of the gun—Which I didn't hesitate to grab.


"Stop! Or I will call the police!"


I said in fear as he snarled at me, trying to snatch the gun in my hand.

"Come on boy! That man is a killer! He killed my folks and beheaded them and throw them like nothing! He deserves to pay!"

The man yelled at me while I ran toward the unconscious man—wrapping my arms around his head, cradling him.

"No! I won't believe you! He was also wounded so it's impossible! And they are five so how can he kill them all by himself? It must be an accident!"

I explain as he looks at me like I was a joke. He started laughing by my statement.


"Boy, You must be kidding me! He was mercilessly gonna kill you when he woke up—and I know that you are homeless so what about this, I give you 5000$ and You won't hesitate to let me kill him, How bout that?"

He tried to bribe me with cash but I believed that money can't be exchanged with the life of a man.

I see the emergency alarm button on the wall and I didn't hesitate to slam it. The whole room started ringing and lights are flashing red—The man cursed at me as he tried to escape but there's the security of the hospital rushing to him.



I throw away the gun in my hand as I decided to remove myself from the unconscious man. He was defenceless and He can't be killed just because of an accusation—I thought. But either way, No one deserves to die as an act of revenge .
