Before It All Went Wrong

On this day, I don’t remember the exact date or time, but it was on a Thursday. It was a disastrous day. I remember not understanding anything except one thing—that they were gone because of a foolish mistake.It all started the day before when two girls lost their lives. Her name wasn’t even mentioned. She was so intelligent, yet every little thing pushed her to the edge. She was always lonely because her friends didn’t like the way she would react when things didn’t go her way.Lisa was in her room on the day before the incident, after her parents had left for work. She was left with her siblings, being the middle child in a family of seven children. Her older siblings would often send her around to do one thing or another, and she felt like they were always picking on her, even more than the younger ones.She kept grudges in her mind, and those feelings slowly grew into something bigger. The day before, she felt disrespected by her older siblings—her two brothers and sister. She was scolded, but instead of feeling remorse, she felt wronged. Without realizing it, her anger turned into resentment, and she kept nurturing it until she couldn’t hold it in anymore.Her anger blinded her so much that she couldn’t clearly see or hear what was happening around her.On the day of the incident, she was muttering words under her breath while cleaning the gas cooker in the kitchen. The table gas was still on, connected to the gas cylinder. Unknown to her, she had moved it too much, causing gas to leak from the cylinder. Even when she noticed the smell, she ignored it because she was boiling with anger.Her siblings later sent her to get snacks with two of her younger siblings. While they were out, their parents called to inform the eldest sibling that they were on their way home. When their father arrived, Lisa and the two siblings were still nearby.As they returned and approached the house, their father called them to enter. At that moment, NEPA restored the electricity. A spark followed.And in the next second, the house exploded right before their eyes.<img src="/media/inline_insight_image/Screenshot_20260326-0917342.jpg" style="background-color: transparent;"/>The sound shattered everything—walls, windows… lives.In that moment, time stood still.All the anger, all the pain, all the words left unsaid—none of it mattered anymore.Because what was once a home became silence.And what was once anger became regret…too late to be fixed.
