Half life

The half life

  I'm Angel Cecilia my job is to inspect the living lives of the dead and decide whether that person should go to heaven, or hell and yes I'm dead. Most liveings (what we call people who are Alive) Think heaven does not have jobs. Well there right when I went to heaven I was a kid so I was given a chance to live a life in the half realm. In the half realm we live the life we we're deprived of in our living life. we grow to a certain age then stop growing older. Thats when we get our jobs mostly like the one I have. we then get to marry and have our own kids and do everything we would have done on the livings land in the half realm.

Today is my first time on the job. I will be inspecting a Hugh Thompson I think. where's my card? oh yep! An army veteran with the rank of captain died January 6, 2006. Husband, father of two. and today I'll be going to march 16, 1968 My Lai, Vietnam, hay! That's the date of the "My Lai massacre." "Hey Jansin." I call to my best friend we died together June 12, 2042 we were 6 when we were run over by a van that just Robbed a bank we were on our way home. "It's time to leave!!" Jason will be accompanying me as this is my first try and he is technically older (by 11 months.) "yah yah one sec." He calls biting into a sandwich. Eating, even after death some people never change. I step into the " Time machine" and he follows I punch in the numbers, he grabs my hand and changes it. I leave for my next great adventure, I hope.

The Time machine glows a bright purple I freak out and grab onto Jason's arm he laughs but stops immediately once we land. Gun shots.

" Jason where going to die!!"

he sighs. "if you hadn't noticed we're already dead we can't get shot and even if we could get shot they can't see us or the 'T.M.'" T.M. oh yeah thats what they call the time machine.

" I totally knew that. I, I was just testing you" I say straightening up and fixing my blond hair well mostly blonde more like blond with pink streaks. All natural by the way.

"Yeah sure." he says rolling his light green eyes that are infested with gold speaks.

"hay It's true"

"sure it is"

"It is I just, forgot."

"Ok what ever, Ladies first." he say's opening the door. I step out cautiously. a bullet goes straight through my slender face. I turn to look at him.

" you knew that would happen. didn't you?" I yell. he was laughing.

" well I'm not going to say I didn't" he say once he catches his breath but saying that just made him laugh again.

"Lets just go we have a job to do." I say angry with him. we hear a roar of a helicopter as one landed close by. the pilot jumped out. It was Thompson. he started yelling at a man we moved closer so to hear.

Thompson: What's going on here, Lieutenant?

Lieutenant: This is my business.

Thompson: What is this? Who are these people?

Me: I look around and see something absolutely horrific a pit filled with dead bodies, men and women and even children all dead.

Lieutenant: Just following orders.

me: As he said that anger flooded through me how can he say that so calmly with a pit full of corpses right next to him.

Thompson: Orders? Whose orders?

Lieutenant: Just following...

Thompson: But, these are human beings, unarmed civilians, sir.

Lieutenant: Look Thompson, this is my show. I'm in charge here. It ain't your concern.

Me: I have never seen such a heartless man in my living or dead life.

Thompson: Yeah, great job.

Lieutenant: You better get back in that chopper and mind your own business.

Thompson: You ain't heard the last of this!

With that Thompson jumped in the helicopter we followed. He took off. We flew a while until we saw American troops chasing several women and children. we landed between the bunker the vietnamese had gone to and the american soldiers. he got out and approached the soldiers had a quick cr conversation then signaled two larger aircrafts which landed the three helicopters transported the harmed people to a base then after bring the situation to the people in charge, the terrible killings that had gone on for too long had finally stopped.

After a few days we found out that hugh also prevented several other massacres.

we went home where. I spent hours researching what Thompson. I spent three days in my room trying to decide where he goes and another seven trying to put my experience to words. then I gave my report to the head of office in person.

"So let me get this straight. You believe not only should he go to heaven but be recognized as a hero to humanity?"

"yes, sir he saved hundreds even thousands of living lives women children men. and the integrity of all his country spared because he took a stand." he thinks for a moment than.

"I agree, I will even send this to holy Jesus our savior. and Cecilia, nice work today."

"thank you sir."

"One more thing you and Jason work well together. Just give him a chance all right?"

"Yes sir" I then left profoundly confused.

"c,c! Umm can I talk to you?"

"sure whats up?"

"Umm do you maybe want to go to the movies with me?" I stare straight into his eyes one covered by his black hair my blue eyes seeking reassurance wanting to be sure he was serious, he was.

"yeh, yeh that sounds like fun" our fingers interlocked like they haven't done since the day we died.
