"Death, would you stop?" He ignored me and continued counting.
"5, 4, 3.." Two seconds. I've never had only two seconds, before. Die, live..? Stay here, go back?
I thought quietly to myself for a moment.
"1.."
I had chosen to live. Death looked at me in disgust.
"Again? Well, then. Your choice, I guess." I tilted my head backwards and took a deep breath, realizing that I'm becoming all too familiar with this routine. "Oh, and one more thing." He leaned down to whisper in my ear. "Alison, stop dying. You're running out of time." That completely confused me. However, before I could ask him what it meant, I felt my feet being lifted off the ground. Different colored sparks were coming from all different directions. I heard my mother calling my name, pretending that she cared. But, for a split second, I had caught a glimpse of my father. All good things must come to an end, I guess. The image of my mother became clearer, and I sighed.
It was time.
