The Last Smile
During the peak of a scorching summer afternoon, two close friends made plans to spend quality time together. They found a peaceful spot on a bench by the sidewalk and marveled at the breathtaking view of the cloudless, azure sky. It was a serene and idyllic day, with the warmth of the sun casting a gentle glow over everything.
As they sat there, a sleek black cat sauntered past them, its fur glistening in the sunlight. One of the friends couldn't resist the urge to stroke the cat's luxurious coat. However, just as she reached out, a sudden, piercing squawk from a nearby bird startled the cat, causing it to dart into the bustling street.
Driven by her desire to comfort the frightened cat, the girl leaped up and dashed after it. In the blink of an eye, a thunderous roar filled the air as a truck collided with her, shattering the tranquility of the moment. In that split second before impact, she turned back to her friend, her face lighting up with a radiant smile that conveyed love and warmth, etching a poignant memory in his heart.
The devastating sound of the collision reverberated through the air, followed by a heart-wrenching silence. The friend was left utterly numb and despondent, crumbling to his knees as he raced to her side, tears streaming down his face, as he struggled to come to terms with the harrowing turn of events. 🍃
