Knock Knock

It was any other day for Kathi. She was lying on the couch motionless when she heard the knock on the door. She pushed herself out of the piece of furniture and walked towards the door using her walking stick.  It was the contractors on the door. They had arrived for some repairs in the bathroom. As the contractors stepped upstairs to complete their job, Kathi locked the door and went back to lie on the couch-the place she would be resting all day. As she lay her legs on the couch and covered herself with a blanket, the contractors from the above called out her name. She was startled.

The Victim

Kathi Wison was a 41-year-old lady living in the town of Shelbyville, Indiana nearing the outskirts of Indianapolis. She was a very jolly woman always found smiling. She had a stable job at the Department Of Motor Vehicles. She had never let anything bother her much in life, little did she know that her mystery illness would change her as a person in whole. Kathi was never a fitness freak. Exercising and running for miles was never her cup of tea. However, she always had a healthy meal-a balanced diet. She was never into junk food much but opted for salads. 

Ten Years Ago

Keeping her healthy routine in mind, it was very strange when ten years back she fell ill. She was never even caught up with common cold and flu, and suddenly when her health faced a little inconvenience this time, it was so major that even years couldn’t recover her. Why were the things so different this time?

 One Day

 What seemed to be a usual day, turned out to be the unexpected one. As Kathi woke this morning, she was not feeling easy. She was a little exhausted and at the same time felt a bit cold. She recalls that her body felt numb and lethargic. Though it was a very unusual thing for her, initially she didn’t worry about it much. Yet, soon only she was provided with reasons to question everything.
