"What would you do if you were told you had only 72 hours to live?" Let's face it. It's not an easy question to answer. Or is it? What really matters in your life? Who do you need to forgive? Who should you apologise to? What wrongs do you have to put right? Is there a long lost friend you need to find? Will your family be taken care of? And are you at peace with how you lead your life? This book is the compilation of the best submissions to the essay contest, Last 72, jointly organised by Everest Productions and The Fountain magazine in 2010. As you read along, you will witness an inmate regretting his past life and taking shelter into hopes for God's mercy, a mother ready to move the entire planet to mobilise for her autistic child when she would not be around for him any more, an immigrant's thankfulness for a naval officer who saved his mother from the sea, and many other touchy stories and answers for a shaky question.
