Is that what it's like when you die?
Do you slip out of your skin, go soaring up into a butterscotch sky?
Do you surf waves of light?
How far?
How high?
I hope that's what it's like, but I'm afraid it's a lot more like falling with no net to catch you, and no way of knowing how hard you will hit or where you'll stop...
Will you touch down back on Earth?
Or will you land back in the nightmare you always feared you'd never wake up from?
