Chapter 18 (post one)

Can I just say: GOODBYE EXAMS. HELLO WRITING. :D

As off approximately 52 minutes ago, I am done my December exams!! Which means that although I have a million and one things to do before Christmas, I can probably squeeze in some writing time as well! I am so happy!

Apparently I'm now being dragged off to bake Christmas cookies. So here's the next chapter lol :)

Chapter eighteen, section one:

Sometimes the world just won’t listen.

I know.

I’ve yelled, screamed, swore and bargained with it; sometimes the world just won’t listen.

It didn’t listen to me when I prayed to live as I died. It didn’t listen to me as I prayed to live again as I was dead. It didn’t listen when I asked to see my family again. It didn’t listen when I asked to shed the wings from my back. It didn’t listen when I asked to have a do-over of my life, or a second more of it.

It bothered me I didn’t get to say goodbye.

It never really occurred to me that I wouldn’t get to, that I could be the story in the newspaper, that tragic too-soon death. It never really occurs to anyone, I guess, since you live your life day to day without ever seeing the future.

But life didn’t listen when I asked to say goodbye.
