All of Them

Gran’s soul is fighting its hardest to get out, fluttering in her head. Her mouth gasps for air. Her relatives take turns wetting her lips with water.

When her light is about to give out, Pāvils jumps to his feet, wails and grabs his grandmother by the shoulders.

He cries:

“Don’t fall asleep! Wake up!”

Gran comes to and asks:

“What did you do that for? All of them were coming to greet me.”

Gran dies the next day, when all her relatives have stepped out for just a moment.

But how beautiful she looks.
