Consequentially, when she did die, at ...

I was used to the oddness of old Mr. Mercer’s corner shop, but I never expected to find the weirdest substance I had ever encountered.

Tell me love

Let me know

How I’ll sink

To depths below

Drop into

Claws of death

There I’ll rot

Til time is spent

Eternity

Will mock me

And you will

Try to stop me

But I’ll just

Ocean floor

Where I could

Inhale no more

Drowning in

Sorrows in

Water in

Deepest darkness...

(This is another rushed story.)

After many months of watching commercials, seeing billboards and having random strangers asking to buy it, I have finally obliged. I’m going to try EyeCream, a product said to give you realistic visions of the future when you go to sleep. So realistic, it feels like a lucid dream.

I wake up on my bed. (Just like any other normal day.) I begin to get ready to school. I wear a red tank top with a black leather shirt. The shoes I am wearing in my dream are “punk” boots. I get on the school bus and as usual the driver smiles at me as he say, “well good morning young lady.” The kids on the bus seem to be sick. Not in a cough cough way. They look like the need help. Each of them ...

I try cleaning the kitchen to keep my mind occupied. Today is the day I get the phone call. Do I have cancer or don’t I? I try no to look at the mole on my fore arm that has doubled in size over the past six months. It’s hard to believe that something so mundane could be so life changing.
