I looked at her curiously, after a few seconds, I smiled apologetically: "Forgive for that, I'm a bit distracted, could you tell what your na is?"
The girl looked at sideways and giggled again: "My na is Celestín."
"Celestin... It's quite a beautiful na," I said as I watched the girl slightly move her dolls in her arms. An idea crossed my mind, and I pointed at the two dolls: "Do they have nas?" I asked with curiosity.
The girl opened her eyes a little and lowered her gaze. She smiled suspiciously:"They don't have nas—no, wait! Actually, they're also nad Celestin. Believe it or not, we're the sa person."
Not understanding what she ant, I didn't give it much importance. I looked at the girl again. At first glance, she seed to be in good condition...
"Do you want to know what illness I have?" Celestin stood up quickly.
"Are you sure?" Although I was sowhat curious, I didn't want to touch a sensitive topic or make her feel bad—or uncomfortable.
"It's fine. I've been sick for a long ti. I'm more or less used to it now," Celestin shook her head and placed her hands on her hips. Her hair moved slightly, and due to the dim light, I couldn't see clearly, but I noticed a black stain on the back of her neck. She slightly moved the gown that covered her arms, and it was the sa—black spots, wrapped in bandages. But instead of being white like snow, they were red. Clearly, she was bleeding.
A bit stunned, my eyes beca watery. I felt a strange dizziness in my head, and my stomach turned. It was as if I had seen sothing forbidden—or sothing beyond my comprehension. A sensation of crisis began to flood my brain, and the small, soft voices in my head started whispering warnings.
Frowning tightly, I brought my hands to my temples...
"Oh, I'm sorry!" The girl's voice snapped out of my body's strange reaction, causing to open my eyes. She had already covered herself again with the patient gown...
Confused, the headache began to subside...
"It must've been disgusting to see, right?" The girl sighed to herself and shook her head while sitting down again...
Trying to shake my head: "That wasn't it... and it wasn't either—it's what happened to ." Blinking, the voices in my head also slowly began to fade away, though they never stopped whispering.
It was an awkward silence for a few monts. I didn't know what to say, but my thoughts were focused on Celestin's wounds:"Could it be so kind of skin disorder?" I thought to myself.
"I don't really know what's wrong with either, but I've noticed that my skin falls off from ti to ti. It's truly painful. At first, I would just cry from the pain all the ti... but eventually, you get used to it," Celestin said with a sad smile."Don't worry about , I'll be fine. According to the doctors, I'll be able to live for a long ti, hehe."
"I'm sorry," I said, seeing the girl's eyes dim a little.
"It's okay, I'm fine. But—" she looked at with curiosity, "you should be more worried about your sister than about ."
"You're right. I'm keeping an eye on her," I said with a soft smile.In fact, I've never stopped thinking about my sister. It's just that I also can't do anything to try and help her. It's truly frustrating...
"Hey, do you believe in miracles?" the girl's voice beca softer, and her eyes sparkled like tiny stars. The full series is hosted on My Virtual Library Empire, known as MV7LEMPYR.
My body reacted again and trembled slightly. Gripping my wrist that wouldn't stop shaking, I took a deep breath, thinking about her question... A true miracle for my past self was that my parents didn't die in that traffic accident. Likewise, for my present self, it would be my sister surviving her surgery.
I don't believe in God. My parents were atheists and, above all, scientists. Based on how I was raised, I was taught that the true creation of everything we know ca from the Big Bang. After millions of years, what we now call Earth—our ho—was ford. But everything had a process, and to get to us, thousands of years more had to pass: evolutionary processes, mass extinctions, continental shifts, ice ages, and so on.
Then a teor, by a chance of life, struck xico and wiped out the dominant species of the ti—the dinosaurs. And after thousands more years, humanity was born in its most primitive state in Africa.
Like I said, everything has a process and an evolution that took a long ti. And all of this is reinforced by Charles Darwin's theory of evolution.
On the other hand, the church says that God created the world in six days, with the sixth day being the creation of man in His image and likeness. But of course, there are many contradictions—the first being that God only created the Earth. What about the universe? Where did He leave the dinosaurs, the hundreds of years of transformation, the stages and changes?Even so, it's already been proven that dinosaurs existed—and many species older than them. And if that were the case, would one second for God be billions of years for us?
The existence of God has not been proven. It's a belief that may have arisen from fear of the unknown, like death. According to the church, after dying, you have two paths: heaven or hell. Heaven if you were a good person, and hell if you were bad.On the other hand, science says: from stardust you were ford, and to dust you shall return—and disappear forever. A phrase sowhat similar to what is said in church.
Of course, there are many religions around the world. Other beliefs include reincarnation, nothingness after death, rebirth and nirvana, spiritual evolution, and so on.
In conclusion, it's not a hard question at all, but it's far too broad a topic for us to fully understand. Maybe there's soone out there from a higher dinsion who's just an extrely advanced alien. Then again, we don't even know if they truly exist...
After a few monts of silence, I turned my gaze back to Celestin.
"No."
