They All Regretted It After I Died
430 Views · Ongoing · Agatha Christie
I was dead, and the whole world was celebrating for my sister.
For twenty-two years, I had been the hardest-working but most invisible daughter in the Sterling family, forever living in the shadow of my gymnastics prodigy sister.
Running a high fever, I begged my family to take me to the hospital, only to hear: "Don't you DARE ruin Bella's award ceremony!"
When I was tricked into the abandoned equipment room and used my last breath to call my boyfriend while lying in a pool of blood, all I heard was: "Grace, quit the drama! Bella's accepting her award on stage!"
On stage, thunderous applause erupted as Bella lifted the "Young Gymnast of the Year" trophy.
And I drew my final breath.
When they returned home triumphant, thinking I had run away in a tantrum, they had no idea I was already dead right under their noses.
