Every time I take a breath. I think about why am I still living, not really sure how, but it was just well nature itself or was it magic?

While I was in the farmer's market it smelled like fresh raped fruit, me and my family were getting fresh groceries for this weekends for lunch at the park. Until later an earthquake had occurred, and I was in the middle of it. I fell into it and landed on sharp rocks impaling pain on my back. I then checked behind my back and realized it hit my spine. I gasped for air. I tried to ignore the pain, and did my best to climb out of the ravine. With every step I took, my whole body ached. Then I fell again this time it had broken every limb to limb of mine. Then everything went black.

I looked behind me and it looked like my grave stone. In front of me is a woman who wore purple and black clothing and a black diamond shaped staff in her hand. Not saying anything, just staring with no emotion and nothing else. Wind blew into our ears as we eyed each other. So this is death were I lived my entire afterlife in a graveyard. She signaled for me to follow her, and I asked, "Where are you taking me?" Usually I would try to run away, but this is the after life, everything changes.

She didn't replied. I was tempted to ask again, but she interrupted me by saying, "If you want to stay alive then shut up." Then she banged my head with her staff.

"Ow!" I said, then finally I made up my mind and followed her. A short while later or was a long time. We saw my house with my wife crying, while the kids tried to take care of her. I ran towards her and none of them notices me, how can this be I looked at my hands and they were invisible, my entire body was invisible! This must be about her, the person who lead me here just to realized that I am not in this world anymore, isn't it? I thought. "I forgot to introduce myself my name is Alice Clips," she said Then before I can replied, "and your name is Edward isn't it?"

And I nod and asked "Who, I mean where am I now?" Then she told me. My life had just changed forever.
