Nobody knows when the last goodbye is…


    *Light turns green*


    [Man]: “Want me to walk you back to your house?”


    [Woman]: “It’s alright. My house is just right across the street. I’ll see you tomorrow at work!”


    *Splish splash splish splash*


    [Man]: “Bye then Joelie, love you!”


    As the woman crossed the street, she turned and gave a smile before waving to the man whom she love. At this moment, their eyes met and a bright white light flashed from the edge of the man’s eyes. Although it was only for a split second, the flash of white light brought along an image…


    An image of an accident.


    The man saw an image of a truck on a street he was familiar with; a street which his love one was at as she waved at him.


    *Eeeeee……*


    Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.


    *Bang*


    Before he could shout out to her, a truck slid along the road and knocked her flying a few meters away, crushing the side of her body which met head on with the vehicle.


    The man fell right onto his knees.


    His world shattered when that woman met into an accident in front of him. When the ambulance and the rescue team came to the scene, there was already a huge commotion as curious onlookers gathered, but the man heard nothing.


    Silence as if he was deaf. The world around him was quiet. Staring at his own reflection from the puddle at the roadside, tears began trickling down his eyes and down his chin before landing into the puddle, making slight ripples in it.


    Only after the rescue team left with the ambulance did the crowd disperse and the man finally stood up. He turned and dragged his feet down the road which he walked almost everyday and his eyes looked nowhere else but at the path beneath his feet.


    The man knew, if anyone were to gaze directly into his eyes, they would definitely stop him from proceeding any further.


    But his mind was already blank and he was not thinking straight. Reality was harsh on him and he felt like nothing else matters to him anymore.


    His world was gone forever, together with his loved one.


    After a while, he saw the familiar tiles on the ground from the tip of his eyes. He looked up, and right in front of him was his old and comfortable high-rise apartment.


    Tired, he let out a long and deep sigh before heading in.


    Instead of taking the lift, he slowly climbed up the flight of dusty stairs.


    The door to his house was on the sixth storey, but he was already way past it. Gradually, he arrived at the highest storey he could reach and he gazed out. The magnificent wind blew cooly against his face and he gave another long sigh before closing his eyes for a moment.


    When he reopened them, he saw a vague figure waving at him with a smile at the other apartment opposite to his. Even though he could not quite see her clearly, he knew who she was for he was very close with her.


    [Man]: “Joelie, I’m coming.”


    The man spoke as if his spirit had left with those words.


    The man used all the strength he had to place his two feet above the railings before finally taking a step forward and a white light flashed across his eyes; the same light which he saw when his woman met with an accident…
