A Story A Day. Story 291 of 365: Pain.

It all started with a mild back pain. Sharma thought it would go away after some days, but it didn't. No massages or pain-killers could help her. She went to the doctor and underwent thousands of different tests, but nothing was wrong with her. When she was already used to it, her knee started to hurt. Soon enough there were no parts of her body that didn't hurt. Pain would keep her up at night, and when she could fall asleep from tiredness, sharp knives would wake her up almost instantly. She couldn't sleep, she couldn't focus on anything, every day she wondered what new pain would appear. Nothing would put her out of the pain, nothing.

Sharma never feared anything, but she did then. She feared pain. She feared the crippling pain she faced every hour, every minute. She feared life, because she knew her only release was death.
