Why?

"Please don't go..."

I wish I heard those words out..

I did hear, but I never listened...

Why did I have to go to office, while everything else burned to ashes?

@HarshBrute This piece leaves you wondering why the narrator is so heartbroken. What happened? What does the office mean? Did they leave a friend? A lover? A family member? I like being left with questions sometimes. This piece gave me interest, but not enough to stunt my imagination.

@SK_Shepherd Thanks for reading. It's a straightforward story, the narrator is a parent, and the only other explicit character is the narrator's child. It's kinda the situation where you brush aside what your kids ask you, thinking it's irrelevant or they'll understand it in the future. Going to office is everyday work, but the child says not to. Just the one request fills up countless desires to spending more time with this parent, the world is just more lively when this parent's around. The parent however, goes of to work...this request is irrelevant after all... And there's this tragedy.the house Burns and no trace of life is left.The child's last moments, her surroundings are left to the readers' imagination...making the story sadder or maybe not. Chances are, the imagination would bring in a familiar character, maybe someone close? And you get to experience a fictional life without this loved one through the short story...maybe it'll make you change your reaction to the mundane things this loved person does..you don't take them for granted anymore...at least, i hope so..
