I, was left clueless and innocent in a world so vast, yet so full of tragedies, jubilant celebrations, people with extraordinary capabilities and bizarre admiration.
I grew up without a mother, instead my aunt and father raised me. My family were all surgeons and I always wanted to become one. Every member of the family helped me in my studies except my mother whose whereabouts are unknown.
As I grew up, I did not care if my family was incomplete, because I was contented as a mere human being. With that, I pursued by dreams to a reality.
Finally, I reached college, taking up nursing and proceeding to medicine. The first day of school was quite unusual for the hospital we trained was exposed with dead bodies that weren't claimed by their families. And merely 300 bodies were used for dissection every year.
I can't imagine how it feels to die without no one knowing your state. And you end up being a factor in order to study the human anatomy.
I did not worry for I did not fear anything.
The first dissection involved cats and dogs. We even took care of some but we ended up killing them mercilessly.
As a fierce achiever, I managed to reach 6th year without any failing grades. From more than 150 entrants only the 20 of us made it to the top.
I became fond of dissecting people and I enjoy every detail the human body has to offer to mankind for further knowledge.
Our final exam as students, was to dissect a human. I thought I would ace that test but something happened.
As I saw the figure and the face of the woman I was about to dissect, I felt a chilling in my spine and I felt odd. She had a huge scar in her left eye, her nose was pierced and she has one finger that failed to grow. I took a picture of her, even though it was not allowed.
I trembled as I took that test but still I passed, and that was my best performances ever according to my prof.
As I grab my diploma, my aunt took pictures of me using my phone, as she scrolled down the gallery, she was in shock.
At that day, I found out that I dissected my own mother. Everyone in the family helped me to graduate after all.
