       I've been up all night. It's 6 AM. I couldn't sleep. Would you be able to if your execution was the next day.

       The doctors are getting ready. As I stand there in my hospital gown looking out at them I realize that I won't ever complete my bucket list.

       All the things I've always wanted to do will never happen. I won't get my first kiss. I won't be a bridesmaid. I won't get to grow up with my best friend. I won't get to do anything.

          One hour. That's all I've got.

       6:53. I've decided to lie down on the bed when they kill me. I see everything from the point of view I should be seeing it from. The nurse isn't here. I didn't expect her to, but I kind of hoped she would be here.

     "Goodbye", I whisper as the clock chimes 7 and I close my eyes. I fell asleep instantly. I haven't slept in over 24 hours. What did you expect?

      I woke up. So I'm not dead. Or am I? Where am I anyways? I looked around and saw paradise. Beautiful trees full of any fruit you could imagine, a clear blue sky, a sky-blue pond filled with bright and colorful fish swimming around, and a castle. A huge castle. Not like a princess castle. Not like a creepy castle. But a castle made out of a beautiful yellow rock. The doors weren't very tall. They were only tall enough for someone a couple feet taller than me to walk through.

         I walked towards the castle. The glistening of the yellow rocks captured my attention and I couldn't help myself. The doors opened. Once I started walking towards it they opened for me. I stepped into the beautiful castle and saw the inside. It wasn't what you would expect a castle to look like, the bottom floor seemed to have 3 rooms. The kitchen, the dining room, the sitting room, and what appeared to be the kings castle not included.

       " hello, is anyone here?" I asked as I stepped into the magical place.

      "We've been waiting a long time for you" a voice said from the shadows. "Who are you? Show yourself!" I demanded. "All in due time, everything will be revealed. All you need to know is.... We've been waiting a long time for you, princess.
