Died on the Operating Table

They call me a murderer, a parasite, and the shadow in Sophie’s light. For ten years, I’ve bled for a family that hates me, paying a debt for a crash I didn't cause. Now, as I prepare to give Sophie the final piece of me—the marrow she needs to survive—I’m carrying a secret they don’t know: I’m already dying. I’ll give them the sacrifice they demand, but I won’t truly leave. I’m going to stay right here, a silent ghost in the halls of their regret, watching as the truth finally unbinds their lies and burns their perfect world to the ground.
