When I was being tortured to death, my daughter was preparing dinner for her mother-in-law. The last thing she said to me was, "Don't you know today is the day your mother is being discharged from the hospital?! Don't bring bad luck on this auspicious day!" One day later, the hospital received a broken body that needed to be reconstructed. What my daughter didn't know was that the body she had sewn back together with her own hands was that of her own mother, whom she hated the most.

When I Was Tortured and Killed

When I was tortured and killed, my daughter was preparing dinner for her mother-in-law.

"Don't you know today is the day Mom gets discharged from the hospital?! Don't spoil such a wonderful day!"

What my daughter didn't know was that the body she carefully stitched back together belonged to her estranged biological mother.

I looked up at the drizzling rain and thought of my daughter, Hana. What is she doing now? Is she eating well? If she knew I was dead, would she be sad? I gave a bitter laugh. How could she be? Hana hated me the most.

A rookie officer ran over to the captain and said they found a smashed cake in the bushes. There were blood marks on it. A cake? My heart suddenly ached. I floated over to the cake. You could just make out two little figures, a daughter holding her mom's hand. Unfortunately, I died before I could even taste the cake.

Instinctively, I reached out to touch it, but my hand went right through, grasping nothing.
