Leuk (imia)

I didn't know that I was sick until my ponytail fell out in practice1

A bloody bright day2

And The artificial smiles of the nurses told my my goose was cooked3

My name is Leuk.4

Guys name?5

Well me mum died of cancer, and me daddy named me Leuk6

For Leukemia.7

Now I had it too.8

My father grew hysterical and I was shocked to see him cry9

I mean,10

He didn't even cry for mummy.11

Later on, my bones grew yellow and I went bald12

But my sport was never better13

I felt that I had to live my life to the fullest14

Since I had about 4 months left15

The days flew by and I realized that ever so slowly16

My family was moving away17

They felt that as I was going to die, they should become distant and various 18

As to avoid any pain19

They, also, didn't think of my pain20

June 13, a day before my birthday 21

My dad died.22

He was crying on the freeway23

And couldn't see through the tears 24

He swerved into a diesel25

My daddy26

I just about died when they told me27

But I knew that I couldn't die28

I was the last of us29

The Turners were gone30

I was the last contender31

But I was going to die in 3 and a half months32

My Mum33

My dad34

My God35

But I was dying, too!!!!!36

At 11:30 pm, June 1337

I sat on my knees38

My eyes exploding salty release39

Every time I caught a picture in my peripheral view.40

Shit!41

I did what I never believed I'd do again42

I prayed.43

No44

I begged45

As Heavenly Father46

As The Man Upstairs47

As Jehovah48

As God49

I begged every name he had50

At 6:00 am51

I felt my blood run cold52

I felt my body jerk and I felt myself lift off53

Early departure54

I floated up into the clouds55

Alone56

On the clouds around me I saw stairs57

I saw my mum and dad 58

Bustling about their business59

I called to them but the looked VERY afraid60

They Whispered:61

"She's going to see The Man."62

"The BIG Man"63

I was dead. On my Birthday64

I thought.65

A bright light blinded me66

And a booming voice thundered67

You seem to know me on a First name basis,Leuk68

The sense of terror I'd scrounged up disappeared like a wave69

And A sense of unbearable love conquered me70

My Lord!71

I shouted72

But only in my heart73

One can not speak in the lord's presence74

He'll go insane75

You have had a harsh life,76

And I am sorry77

But things happen for a reason78

I must permit the wicked 79

In order for you to walk in bliss and happiness80

Eden is yours and there is no doubt81

That you will do correct and carry my spirit out82

I love you Leuk, especially.....83

I woke up84

I awoke in a hospital be a sheet covering my face85

Sure I had slipped into a thick coma86

I lifted and a nurse screamed and wet herself.87

I laughed for the first time in my life, I laughed88

At age 1489

I laughed90

"Where am I?"91

I questioned through my tears of happiness and laughter92

"In Derry home, hospital. And Note that you have been dead for 2 days."93

"Well,"94

I replied, smiling95

"I guess you could say that me and God are on a first name basis."96

    OMG. This was...WOW. The ending shocked me. It made me cry a bit, that's so crazy. I dun know how you came up with that...Or is it true? The dead for 2 days thing, like Night said, is just..Wow. It's crazy to think about that. But..I really liked this story. But you didn't author comment on what choice you picked..Nor why..if you don't soon I might have to disqualify you. I'm sorry.
