The morning of my departure soon came and Blue gave me the instructions. I was to race against everybody and win. The prize would be what brings me back to reality.

"....and....GO!", the man shouted. I raced off down the river, thinking there is no way I can lose. Splashing in and out of the other contestants way I raced ahead. The last lap got me worried as a young woman was on my tail and did overtake me at one point but I was meters away from the finish line and I knew that if I didn't get the prize, I wouldn't get home. For a split second, I contemplated losing the race, staying here with Chris and Blue but it was already too late because...I WON!!! I grabbed the trophy, Blue stood next to me, hugged me and said goodbye. Chris came up to me with a puzzled face as tears flowed down mine. I fell to my knees...being pulled back to earth. Now, the hardest part, telling Chris the truth...

"Are you ok?", he asked me.

"No, Chris I'm dying or rather living... I love you and I will never forget you", I said my voice shaking.

"I love you-", he started, but didn't finish. I missed the end. I was being tossed and turned through a tunnel of colour, until I was finally back on Earth where I wasn't sure I wanted to be anymore.
