The second I heard what had finally happened, I was still as ston. The world froze around me. Not a sound from anyone in the room. My heart had stopped beating. What was I to do with four months left to make every dream I ever had come true? I have to sit and watch my future Die along with me and all of my memory. My name is Sienna Burke, Im seventeen years old living in New York. Today Wednesday June 11th 1949. I found out I have 4 months to live until the disease goes to my brain.
