Reflections: A Book

After Life Society

the day I died was just like any other
"why'd i die?"

left or right, not up or down
front or back, if I turned
darkness to my sides, i decided not to investigate

ahead of me a fuzzy world, i could go back, haunt my enemies and spy on my friends and family, get the answers to all life's little secrets that I would have figuratively killed for back in the day...the days i was alive, was that today?l yesterday?

behind me, a brilliant light that doesn't hurt my eyes but is by far brighter than the sun, though I don't know how I know this or why it doesn't burn but soothes

the decision is a no brainer. i look back at my grainy world, send a prayer out to my family and walk into the light.....

meet a jaded ALS representative who hands me a contract to sign

basically i'm in purgatory though my 'friendly' greeter Todd says it's lame to call it that

i stick around and talk to a few ppl before deciding to sign
