The Death Letter ch. 5

I tossed and turned under those purple sheets. Nightmares flooded my mind. One after the other.1

I wandered around aimlessly searching, for what I do not know. A red gate opened and emitted forth a smoke so strong I was coughing endlessly. A red flame jumped up and a fiery shadow emerged from the flame. He greeted me and a big sign said Welcome to the eternal Hell: Have a good time!  He was Lucifer, Satan, The Devil. But he seemed nice. He did not try and harm me, but hugged me. He just hit on me which made me extremely uncomfortable. So I pushed him away and began to run. Just then, I heard and overpowering deep voice say, "You shall never escape me Athena!" All of a sudden a hole emerged and I fell. Me piercing screams trailing behind me for all to hear. I landed in a whirlpool, Charybdis, and was swallowed hole.2

I woke up with a thud on the floor, pillows and blankets covering me. Chris jumped up and ran to my side. "What happened?" He said. But I could not speak. I sat motionless. I sat soundless. I stood up, fixed the bed, and went back to sleep.3

This time I had another dream. I was being chased by a flying pig. Where did this come from? I thought to myself. Then Tarzan rescued me. HE scooped me up and hid me in a tree with him. He kissed me and told me that Chris was killed by a Cheetah. Tarzan asked me to marry him and I accepted. Then a Gorilla attacked me with a banana. He hit me in the head repeatedly. Over and over until I was dizzy. Tarzan made me pineapple coffee  and I fell asleep on his tarp.4

I woke up again, it was 7:30 in the morning. I turned over to see Chris, but he was absent from the bed. In his place there was a piece of paper atop the sheet. On it it read to Athena. I opened the White sheet of lined paper to read its contents written in pencil. The note read:5

Dearest Athena,6

I have received a telephone call at precisely 5:30 this morning from General Maidnor stating that I have been reassigned. I am now under the command of General Ermvey in Iraq. This means that I will not be home for quite some time. I will miss you dearly my love but this is something I must do. As war rages on in Iraq I must stay there. I will not be able to come back and visit until around the end of May, before your due date. I fear that I may not come then. I fear that I may not be home for a very long time. I will fight my hardest, but on that front I do not know what will happen. I will be home as soon as possible. I know that when I do come home, I will stay there forever. I must go now. I have one last request if our child is to be a girl name her what you want, but if it is to be a boy I ask that his name be Alexander. I must leave now cupcake. This is good-bye.7

I will love you always no matter what,8

Chris  9

I knew that I would not see him for a while, but I was ok with that. I would see him in May after I have had the baby but I would not have the baby until the end of April so he will see the baby soon. For my love for him is great enough to wait until our next meeting. 10

I got up and got ready to go see the doctor. I was going to find out what I will be having.  I got into my red car. It was slightly chilly this morning so I pulled up the black roof of my car and drove away. When I reached the doctor's office. They took me in immediatly. Dr. Julia Christode was waiting for me. As i sat down she told me, "Well I have good new for you, you are going to have.....11
