What would u do?

Guys,

Being a science student, writing is never one of my forte. Pardon my style of writing, I'm certinaly not the best writer.

However, I'd like you to imagine the following scenario:

You have difficulty breathing. Somehow u feel there's a lump on your throat impeding your respiration. You check out the mirror. To your horror, u see a huge lump on your throat. You are puzzled, you feel uncomfortable. Most importantly, you are worried sick.

You wasted no time in getting dressed. You rush to your usual clinic. Its closed. In your luridness, you didnt realise its only its only 6am. The clinic opens at 8 30.

You flag for a cab....

The doctor put you into a series of tests... You are told to return to the hospital 3 days later.

The 3 days wait seems like eternity. You live in extreme discomfort, praying to god that everything will turn out to be just all right. You have a family to take care, you're bright, you're young, and you're yet to enjoy life....

3 Days later, you anxiously walked into the consultation room and await the verdict...

"Mr XXX, I'm truly sorry, but i have a bad news for you. I hope you take it well."

Sensing the worse, you shudder in fear, qualing and listening intently to every single word that your doctor is going to convey.

"The lump on your throat is a cancerous and malignant tumour. Im sorry to let u know that the cancer cells have already started spreading acorss your body. We can try chemotherapy, put you in tense treatment,..."

Cancer...

The word seems vaguely familiar, it took a while before u registered what cancer really is....

Like a child seeking answers from an adult, u asked, " Is it curable?"

He took one deep breath, muster all the courage he could and delivered, "you are in the final stage, chances are very low, but we can always try"

Final stage...

Very low chance..

That means...

"I'll die... Will I?"

"Death, what is it like?"

"I really dont want to die"


"how long more do i have?"

Ans: 1week

You grow numb, you couldnt belive it.

There was no tell tale signs.

Loads of questions flock to your mind. Many many whys surround you. You'd always taken care of your health. You exercise regularly, u watch your diet, u dont smoke nor drink. You have a bright future, u attained a first class honors degree. You worked hard, u just got a promotion and a pay rise. You have much to look forward to. It doesnt matter much now...

Death never crossed your mind.

Why?


why ?


why?


Your thoughts finally calmed. You ponder how you're going to spend the remaining last week of your life....

1 last week....

1week later, you'll be in somewhere else, somewhere far far away, somewhere u've never been, somewhere seemingly cold and unfamiliar.

If this were to happen to anyone of us, what would u do?

If today is your last day alive, Im sure you'd not do 90% of the things you'd normally have done. We sleep walk all our life.

What you always deem as important suddenly has no place in times like this.

Think about it, arent the things you're going to do that simple?

Have you understood the beauty of simplicity?
