The Pinnacle Of Life

“Argh!” Lenneberg fell to her knees, covering her face as she wailed.

She approached Maya slowly. “I’m sorry, I’m so sorry. I owe you, all of you, so much. I’m so useless, I…”

A streak of red blood dripped down her snow-white chin. No daughter would be able to accept their own mother’s begging.

Maya knelt down slowly, too, her eyes blurring with tears while looking at Lenneberg. “To be honest, I hated you. Dad missed you so much, but you never came back. He always called for you in his sleep…”

“But I still miss Dad and Mom so much, I wish they could come back.”

Lenneberg shuddered, and she embraced Maya tightly. “My daughter, my precious baby, I… Have missed you every second!”
