SUMMER
Flat on my back, my ears ring incessantly as the world around me
dissolves into chaos. The explosion sends people running in every
direction, their panicked screams barely heard. My vision blurs and the
ground beneath me feels unstable, like it might give way any moment.
Nausea twists my insides, threatening to spill out onto the pavement.
As the smoke billows from the wreckage, I’m transported back to
another time, another place. A memory of a day in my past, when I was just
six years old, resurfaces, a scene I had locked away, buried deep in the
recesses of my mind – a car exploding, flames consuming everything in its
path, including my parents.
Now, history repeats itself, with Cathal caught in the middle of it all.
Staring up at the smoky sky, tears stream down my face, mixing with
the grime and soot as I struggle to catch my breath. My hands tremble
uncontrollably, and I feel the weight of the past and the present crashing
down on me. Guilt and fear intertwine, leaving me feeling lost and helpless.
Why does this keep happening? What cruel twist of fate has led me here
again?
Gasping for air, I choke on the acrid smell of burning rubber and
gasoline that fills the air. The sirens in the distance do nothing to calm my
racing heart, only amplifying the sense that the world around me is spiraling
out of control. As much as I want to run away and escape this nightmare, I
know I can’t leave Cathal behind. Sitting upright, my body screaming in
protest, I blink a few times to clear the haze from my vision.
Trying to push the flood of memories back into the box where they
belong, I can almost hear my aunt’s voice telling me I’m worthless and that
I bring disaster wherever I go. But I refuse to let her words define me
anymore. For Cathal, for Ciarán and myself, I must find the strength to get
up off the road and move forward.
Catching a glimpse of Ciarán, his face streaked with blood and eyes
wild with fear, I think he’s yelling something at me, gesturing for me to
leave the scene, but I can’t make out the words over the echo of the
explosion and the chaos around me. When I nod, trying to make sense of
what he’s saying, he dashes towards the wreckage, desperate to find his
triplet brother.
Tears prick at my eyes as I stand there, frozen in place, unable to
comprehend what has just happened. My mind races with questions and
doubts. Did Cathal survive? How could this happen? Does fate have it out
for me? The images of my parents’ car engulfed in flames all those years
ago come back to haunt me again, making me feel like that helpless little
girl again.
As I watch Ciarán disappear into the thick black smoke, my legs finally
regain their strength, and I force myself to get up and move, staggering
through the chaos. The feeling of uselessness gnaws at me; every fiber of
my being wants to help, but I don’t know how or even if I can.
