Cheating Death

As my mind wonders I begian to lose track of what my fifth period science teacher is talking about and start to think about my life so far this year. Its been good I guess, starting a new school year at a new shcool isnt always easy, especily for me. But I have made new friends and im all caught up in my classes. But I cant help but wonder what is the point of it all? Sure I need my education to get a job and have a life once I graduated and everything, but then what. I find my true love and have kids. A family who makes fun of my cooking but takes care of me when im sick. And i'll have a good job, something that keeps my busy and pays the bill, feeds the family. And then what? I wke up one morning to find my husbun dead by my side, because he had a heart attack in his sleep? Well lets say I get over the grieve because I have my children to keeps me happy. Ten years later little Jack is off to collage and Lilly has moved to newyork with her fiance. And I no longer have a family living in my home. No one to look after, no one to look after me. But its only natural, there growing up right? Its not so bad anyways, I still talk to them every month and they visit for the holidays. My friends are still here too, we cont forget about them. But soom enough they move on, or pass away too. And im left all by myself cuddeled up in my one bed room appartment wating David lettermen. And then what? My home gose up in flames with me inside, I'm driving home late at night and I swerve off the road into the river, an unexpected robbey goes wrong and I end up with two bullets in my brain and noone to call the cops? So as my mind wonders, and I relize the enevadable possiabilities of my limited life, I make a wish. Avery imposibble, sartastic, spur of the moment, depressed wish. No dying for me. I say to myself. Ha! If I could escape death itself..well then my whish would be pretty much granted. But you can see my delema, right? *Big sigh* So as my mind wonders, and the time ticks away, I wonder what its worth if it all eventually dies...
"Katlyn? Katlyn.." I snap back to reality as Mr.Ryans taps my desk. I look up at him with raised eyes brows and he shaks his head in disbeliefe. "For hevans sake child cant you keep your head out of the clouds?"
"I guess not." I say and the class explodes into laughter. Yeah you guys, real funy. I say to myself.

Later that night:

Five writen ages on the solviet union and two slices of pizza later im sitting in my room watching on of thoes comercals for car insurance. "Whats in your wallet?" Some ditzy bloond, that looks like she sould be on the cover of play boy, say. Then the screen goes blank and David Lettermen apperson the screen, cleaning his glases and grinning like an idiot. Seeing David reminded me of my thoughts earlier in the day, and I go over the depressing fantasy of my futur once again.
"If only I could escape death itself," I say to noone on particular. "Easier said then done." I switched the chanel and setteled down and watched Buffy The Vampire Slayer stab a steak through some boon heart. A minute later there was a chilling breze, and a man apperared at the foot of my bed.
"Eaving Katlyn." He said in a dark and dangerous voice. What should have happened was me running for the door screaming. But hey I figured if he was here to kill me I was going to die evertually anyway, right? I instead I just lay there staring up at the strang men. "I'm not here to Kill you Katlyn," Said the man. "I'm here to grant you whish. Cheating death is easier than you think." That got my attention big time. What scared me more then death? Strange man who know what im thinking.
"How..?" I asked but he held up his hand for silence.
"Just answer one question Katlyn, what would you do to escape death?" I continued to start at him but I was now knelling on my bed inching closer to him. And thinking of the things I would give to live forever...
