Lowell
Is this death?
I don't feel anything.
No pain.
No sound. No light. I am numb to it all. I am barely aware of the figure looming over me until I feel the warmth of its breath against my face.
"Open your eyes, my child," I open my eyes and I see her. Like a bright light in all the darkness that I have faced. I feel no fear. I am weightless without my body to ground me. I am hit with a warmth that calms the chaos of my thoughts.
I feel like I am finally home. After all the years of searching, all the pain and darkness I finally feel at peace. I am free from the chains of my past and I can finally move on. I am grateful for the figure's help in finding my way to the light.
"Am I dead?"
"No, my child, you are far from death."
