Can I have you back?

Chapter 3: I Chose to Follow Him

The months without Jess were excruciating.

I was like a zombie. I finished my tasks at work on time. I managed the cafe and check it every now and then. But my life was purely white and black.

There was no color to it. Jess took every hue of my life with him. And because of my wallowing sorrow, I made up my mind to follow my initial plan. I will follow Jess. We're meant to be. And we're yet to marry. 

When Jess was preserved, all I wanted was for the "future" to come. I already want to hold his hand. I want to hug him. I want to show him how much I love him. 

That made me decide to follow him. But how? 

There was no law in any country which prohibits preservation of an able and living person to be cryonized. But there is no program in the World Cryonics Center, Inc. which would allow me to be enrolled in any of their programs. 

One day, while I was driving, I was too engrossed with how I could follow Jess. My mind was floating. A part of me already thought I was already starting to get mad and crazy. But who would not feel the same way when the love of your life was snatched away from you just a few days from your wedding day? 

Then I heard a loud bang. I suddenly felt a pang of pain all over my body. I tried to open my eyes but it was too heavy. I tried to move my hands but all my efforts was infutile. I opened my mouth but no sound came out of it. I felt hopeless. 

Then darkness engulfed me.
