Wings For The Smallest Soul

 

In the story of her life...

*****

It's the end of the 6th month; The little girl lies lifeless on the hospital bed, mum and dad by her side. 

Six months ago, a rear disorder convinced the medic to tell the girl's parents that she only had six months to live; and here it is now. 

She holds her mother's hands tight, looks straight at dad's eyes then back to mom's and says,

       "Promise me the land I'm heading to has light.

        I'm afraid of the dark. 

        Promise me I won't be alone with him in the dark." 

*****

Him...? 

Who's the little girl referring to?
