Winona's P. O. V: A Short Story
Winona's P.O.V

The doctors words echoed through my dying brain.

"You have five days, Winona."

"I'm sorry dear."

"Stop lying!" I screamed.

"I don't wanna die!" I sobbed, pounding my fists on the crappy hospital mattress.

"Mama, don't leave me!" I cried as my mother rushed out of the room in tears.

"You're not the one who's dying you selfish pig!" I screamed, pulling on my hair.

"Help me, p-please!"
_________________

I'm Winona Finley. I am 16 years old and I am very sick as my mother says. I don't know what's wrong with me though, the doctors refuse to tell me. They say it should be the last of my worries and that I just needed to be focused on being happy, which quite frankly is impossible to do when you know that you have a disease you don't understand.
…show more content…
I don't have friends, I don't go out shopping, I don't drink Starbucks, and I don't prance around in Uggs and tribal print leggings.

I am going to come out and say this though, I am the queen of fashion. I really do think my white hospital gown really brings out my eyes.

Quick, somebody call up Vogue! This depressed and slowly dying teen would make an awesome front cover!

On another note some fun facts about me are that I love shiba inus, my favorite food is hospital cafeteria BLTs, my favorite color is light green, and did I mention I'm dying?

It's scary to think that this will be one of my last days on this planet, I've got four more to go and I'm already bracing for the lovely existential crisis I'll be having tonight!

I don't know what I'm going to do these last few days

    Do you know why you’re here?” I thought about it for a moment. Did I? I shook my head, “No, actually. I haven’t come to think about it,”. The doctor scribbles something down on his note pad. “Can you tell me the last thing you remember before you woke up here?” I bit my lip, trying my best to remember. “I think I remember being at the movies with a few friends of mine. I remember being pissed off because my boyfriend never showed up, when he told me he was going to be there. I tried to reach him but…” the doctor raises his eyebrow, “But?” I cleared my throat, “But his phone was going straight to voicemail. My friends asked if I wanted to go out to eat with them after the movie ended but I told them no, so I got a cab and went home, and…” the doctor leaned forward slightly, “And then what?” I looked down at my hands, they were shaking. What happened after that? “I can’t remember anything after that. All I remember is going home then waking up here,” I stated, in a frustrated tone. I looked at the doctor, my eyebrows furrowing, “Do you know what happened? Why am I here, doctor?”. He sighed and put down his note pad and pen on the side…

    This simple quote by Morrie speaks so loudly. What if today was your last day on earth? This is really something to think about. Nothing says live everyday to the fullest better than this. We never know when our last day will be, it is best to live ever day as if it were your last. Take your days one at a time. Most people look at life in years, giant increments of time. I believe if you look at life by each day, you will appreciate so much more. Society is fast moving and always planning way ahead. One day time is going to catch up to all of us. I am going to try to live life more slowly so that I can appreciate the moments for how beautiful they are. We should all try living in the moment.…

    Morrie aphorism “What if today were my last day on earth?” (p. 64) made me think. When Mitch said that to Morrie it made me think about it too. Since Mitch knew already that Morrie was going to die soon, it made him think about it too. I have to say that if someone ever mentioned something like this in a conversation it would make them think about it because thats life. Like Forest Gump said a movie that almost everyone uses “Life Like A Box of Chocolates” because you don't know what you’re going to get which relates to this in a way because you dont whats going to happen to tomorrow basically you don't know what the future holds for you. You might not even wake up because one cannot for tell the future. Anyways the aphorism has been true to me because no one would want to talk about their last day on earth, they just want live and enjoy life because this is one in a lifetime. I also feel like i can feel how they are feeling when Morrie and MItch are having a conversation and that comes up. Like what if today was my last day on day ,how would I act or say. I can speak for about everyone when i say everyone would be scared if they thought today was their last day on earth. Personally I will be terrified especially…

The nurse rubs my back trying to calm me down from the intense panic and trauma this situation is causing me, but it’s no help.…
