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.
