So, I would consider myself a poet, rather than a story writer. It comes easier to me. So, yeah. Here is my poetry, starting with:

Second Chance(9.19.11)

She just stood there

She did nothing yet stare

The car was coming too fast

Her life's seconds were coming to their last

She yelled a question at nothing particular

"Where am I going?"

She had never believed in heaven nor hell

She closed her eyes

and waited for the impact sure to come

She waited for a minute

for something that should have taken less than 5 seconds

She opened her eyes

to find a new place

She was no longer on that road

Alone with that car

She was in a garden

So beautiful with flowers

and she looked down

and noticed a new outfit

a white dress she had never seen before

and no shoes on her feet

Was this where she was going?

Was she now cold and dead?

She called out these questions

expecting no answer

and she didn't get one

And she fell into a hole

And music started playing

And she closed her eyes

This time she believed they'd forever be closed

And she starting mumbling sorries and forgiveness

Until her breath came to a halt

For the last time,

she said, "Forgive me, God."

and the music stopped playing

and everything became bright

she opened her eyes and she was alive

She breathed a thank you into a smile

And would never forget the time she died and came back to life
