text: I open my eyes. Where am I? Blinded by the intense bright light radiating from the sky Itchy grass rubbing against my arms as the breeze gently blows through the blades Perfectly warm rays of sun shine down onto my face creating a radiant glow around my head The cold solid earth beneath me soaking small bits of moisture through my shirt creating a feeling of sweat down my back Everything is so visceral, so vibrant But I can’t move The physical feelings in my body are slowly fading With each moment my body becomes more and more numb I reach down to touch my stomach As I pull my fingers back up into my line of sight I see dark maroon blood dripping from my finger tips I loose feeling all the way down to the tips of my toes A shadow slowly starts casting over my body and blocks the sun out of my face I can clearly see its my neighbor Ed Walker He stares at me for a moment and says.... “I told you to stay away from her” \*\*BAM\*\* My ears rang and my body flinched as though I have just been kicked by a startled horse I can’t feel any actual pain though Ed walks up a little bit closer “I told you to stay away from her damnit,” he screams \*\*BAM\*\* Everything goes dark I can hear the sound of the wind fading from my ears I can no longer see, hear, feel, taste or smell I think I’m dead In a moment I feel as though I’m transported through time and space at speeds far beyond anything I have ever experienced My body stops abruptly I'm no longer laying in the fields of my farm in Georgia I don’t know where I am There is nothing here No one around I scream HELLO! Nothing HELLO!! This time the skies start to open up like eye lids being exposed to first day light Its so bright I feel an overwhelming sense of joy and euphoria Its so warm I feel an embrace around my body but I see no-one there holding me Next thing I know i'm floating through the air looking back at my body as it crumbles to sand and blows away Am I in Heaven? I become fully immersed in the light as I float closer and closer to it. I float for a few moments bodyless. Just my soul.
