The hand
    2017-05-10  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

I can feel the goosebumps spreading from my arm all over my body. It is such a cold day, and it reminds me again of the accident that took place in a similarly cold winter two years ago.

I had a younger sister and I hated her! She was preferred by my parents, my grandparents, my cousins, my aunt and almost everyone around us. In a word, it seemed that everyone liked her and not me. I just experienced years of feeling like a princess, because in those five years everyone took care of me. After that, my sister was born, and everything went bad. Gradually, I couldn’t receive the attention I was due from others, while they paid more attention to my sister.

I always had a kind of thought about making her disappear. God helped me. It happened, but it was not as handy as just disappearing. She left us forever.

It was a cold morning, and I went to catch the school bus as usual with my sister. Although the icy wind cut us to the bone, we were still very sleepy. Everything around me was dim to my bleary eyes.

“Bang!” Suddenly, I heard a loud sound beside me. “Help ——” It was my sister’s voice! I turned towards her, but found that there was no one! The most horrible thing was that there was a well beside me, but the well cover had disappeared.

My sister was still holding onto the edge of the well and she was absurdly pale with fright. As I stretched out my hand to try and save her, a thought came to my mind — let her die. I hestitated and wondered whether I should do it.

Suddenly, I saw her hands slip as she was trying to reach up to me, and then she fell. She let out a loud yell from down in the well, and I didn’t know why I was still standing there with no sense.

Yes, she died. Of course, she couldn’t survive after falling into a well. I told everyone she was lost. I didn’t know how to find the courage to tell them the truth. I told the lie calmly. Actually, I didn’t even think it was my fault, because I couldn’t have saved her life even if I had given my hand to her.

It has now been two years since the accident. Recently, I have had some weird experiences. I feel like she is coming, coming to take revenge on me. I have dreamed many times that she is stretching out her hands to me, like the scene that occurred at the well two years ago. The scene remains fresh in my memory. She asks me to help her constantly in my dreams. Every time I wake up with a start and my whole body rises in a burst of cold sweat. What I do know is that whenever I think about it, it usually gives me the creeps. Perhaps it was my fault…… I’m not sure.

I have decide to go for a walk. It’s the best way to collect my messy thoughts. I am walking on the road which my sister and I used to take to school every day unconsciously, and the well where my sister fell in is coming closer. Out of habit, I begin to kick the gravel on the road. I move under the street lamps to play, because playing in a bright place allows me to play much better. As I am kicking the gravel, I sense something strange.

There are two shadows under the street lamps. One is me… but what about the other one? I turn back but see nobody. Suddenly, the other shadow is stretching out its right hand and raising it higher and higher. It is about to touch my hand, when a voice behind me croaks,“Hold my hand. We’ll go there together.”
