The long white passageway which stretched endlessly was the first thing which greets me after I left my room.
The wall was painted white but the corridor was poorly illuminated with yellowish fluorescent light, making the stretch looks dullish. To make the matter worse, there is not even a single window exists along the next hundred meters.
Without any sunlight, warmth itself had disappeared away. The whole stretch was unusually cold especially when hospitals nowadays were encouraged to adjust their temperature of the air con to a comfortable range.
My clothes which provided easy mobility but yet failed to provide any protection from this merciless coldness which made me starts to shiver.
“What with this temperature and the endless stretch of passage” I asked myself while trying to rub my palm against each other to warm them up.
For the past few moments, I was walking along the whole stretch alone, since I couldn’t tell whether those people were alive when they walked past me with an emotionless looks on them.
Especially those in white were rushing along the corridor as if he is late for surgery. But yet he does not show any sign of anxious on his face.
Yet everyone failed to notice that a girl in white who was bleeding was walking along the stretch. No one even bother to stop and asked or wondered why is she doing down here.
I couldn’t care more since it would be better this way where no one hindered me from finding Kobe. He was all I care for right now!
After closing up a couple of distance between each section of the corridor, I had finally found the answer of my question on why this mysterious passage after my eyes caught onto what written on the directory board.
“Mortuary”
This large black bold word was written on the wall. It was the same word which used to describe a place which used to keep dead bodies.
My heart froze for a moment, thinking of why and how I could end up over here. My head is overwhelmed with questions and yet there is no one to answer for me.
“Why am I placed beside a mortuary all along?” I questioned myself especially since it is way too scary for allocate me just beside it.
Before I could even questioned myself again, the large automated door slide opened with a loud noise of gas been released.
It looks like some Sci-Fi movie but the expression of the people coming out from the mortuary was real. Family members were crying but the doctor beside them offered no word of condolences for the family members of the decreased.
The nurse, beside the doctor, simply asked the family member to sign on the some documentation. Immediately after it been sign, both parties walk off separately as if nothing had happened.
“Is Kobe really here?” I questioned myself once again, this time folding my arms tightly as if trying to squeeze myself. I couldn’t know what had happened?
What does Ken mean by he was late?
What does them telling me that Kobe was here?
Why am I here?
Endless of question surfaced onto my minds as I walked past this dreadful stretch which seems getting dimmer and dimmer each time.
