Brother, I Wish I’d Never Been Born

Summary

I had one month left to live when my brother threw me out of the house.

I found an old video camera, wanting to record one last message for myself.

"Holly, in your next life, don't be born into this family again. It's not a role you can bear."

But the moment I turned it on, it started playing a video automatically.

My brother was smiling, holding the camera.

"I swear," his younger voice said, "I promised Mom I would protect my sister with my life. I'll never let anyone hurt her."

I froze, a tear tracing a path down my cheek.

"But... I don't want to be your sister anymore," I whispered.
