Tears of a Phoenix
Prologue: Running Away
"He won't survive much longer," the docter said.
"What?! No! I--" I sobbed.
"I'm sorry Cyrus," the docter told me, putting his hand on my shoulder.
"My mom is already dead! Who would I possibly stay with?"
My dad's body shook, and his eyes gently fluttered open. I ran my hand through my golden-brown hair. My green eyes flashed with distress and sorrow. "! month left," said the docter. My dad's eyes shut.
