SOPHIA'S FLUTE
I felt my heart straining against my ribs as I ran, knowing that if my elder sister Sophia caught me, I was done for.
It had all started as a prank. She has always been protective of her flute. Any of us who went near it got a beating. This only enraged us and fueled our determination to lay our hands on it.
Leaving Tobi the last born to watch out for Sophia, the rest of us snuck into her room and made away with it. We then took turns playing on it.
From nowhere, Sophia showed up and we all took to our heels. Unfortunately for me, the flute was in my possession and it fell and cracked while I ran. I had only one thought in my mind after that,
"Run!"
Not watching where I place my foot, I stumbled and fell to the ground. Before I could get back up, I felt Sophia's grab me.
Just when the beating was about to begin, I woke up.
It was a dream.
But then I realised I was in a hospital bed. Alas I remember breaking Sophia's flute and almost getting murdered for it yesterday.
