The light from the end of the tunnel is an oncoming train (l)

Months after,
the handicap picked herself up with the help of someone whom she trust, she stood up with the only leg she had. She is afraid to walk and she just stood there fearing that she will fall the moment she take that step out. After many days and months, she grew faith and the trust increases, one fine day, she told him, i would like to learn to walk but only if you are there for me. He stretches his arms without a second word and she finally took her first step, he grabs her firm with his strong arms making sure that she will not skip a step, she walks on. Each day steps by steps, steps by steps. In days and months to come, picked herself up with who she used to be in the past with the encouragement of this man.
One day, she decided to climb a hill with her close to heart " clutch " which is him. She knows it will be a challenge and she was full to the brim to accept it as she knows, he will be there to catch her fall. They walked up hand in hand although there are milestones which trips, but they didnt fall, as they walked, they enjoyed the greens and sweet scent of fresh air throughout the woods. Step by step they managed to reach the hill top. The scene is beautiful, the grassland was green. The breeze blew through the tired face and evaporates the sweat they had. They sat down, side by side enjoying the hard work they reap. The scene in front of them, is more that what it pictures. The underlying meaning for her meant so much more than to enjoy the breeze and to lie in his arms. They sat there side by side enjoying moment of sunrays as the sunsets.
The sky turns grey and it's time to head downhill. The path downhill were dim but she knows he will be there to guide her though the path. The momentum downhill was fast, she but she know he will not allow her to fall. The dwindling path was rapid, and the path was dim, in a skipped heartbeat of second, she realised he freed her, she loses her balance and fall off the track, she leaps and roll downhill, she tried to reach for him but his arms were crossed. He just stood there motionless. The speed were rapid and she couldnt stop. She hits the trunk of a tree where she finally stop.
