An ode to a girl who died a stupid death:

A girl was stuck under rubble for forty-eight hours since the quake. When a group of rescuers found her, she was beyond thirsty and hungry. Her right leg was entirely pinned underneath her.

The team of rescuers took her to a hospital, only to learn that they were lacking supplies to take her of her. They reccomended her to another hospital some miles away.

She died on the way there.

Her last words were, "Mama, don't let me die."

Her uncle decided not to tell her mother yet, knowing that she would go insane from the grief.
