Everything is so dark but I can still feel myself.

I don't understand. I was supposed to jump in front of the beast and die instead of my dad. Instead I am in this black, unconscious state.

Wait. Is that a light? Yes! This is it!

I try to run to it, only to find that something is holding me back. Something is preventing me from dying.

Something or someone.

But who? It could be anyone. And how?

I imedeatly change my mind about wanting to die. I want to go back home. To see my dad again. To be alive. Dying is a terrifying thing. Somehow though, it feels familiar. Like I've done it before. But I can't have died before. How would I be here now?

There so many things I don't understand, so many things I have to ask about. So many things I have to live to see. I'm not even in double digits yet. I'm not even ten years old yet. I can't die. Not yet.

But apparently some other force thinks I shouldn't die either. I'm not sure whether to be happy something wants to let me live or scared. I don't even know what this thing wants. I don't know how I could possibly help this thing if it doesn't just want me to be happy and alive.

I think about my dad, probably waiting by my side, worried sick. I make a mental note to give him a huge hug when I wake up.

If I wake up.

No. I will wake up. I need to live. I need to see my dad.

I'm fine daddy. I'm okay.
