I've always been told that out of body experiences are beautiful things with white lights and moments of spiritual awakening, but that's not how mine was.
I felt my side of the car bend as the 18 wheeler hit. I felt my ribs break through my skin, so you can probably imagine my surprise when I woke up in the snow just fine. Not a scratch on me, I looked great for just getting hit by a huge truck. I look down and curl my bare toes into the...snow. Hold up when did I take my shoes off, why am I not cold? oh crap.
"Yes, You're dead."
I look up from my feet, quickly step back,
"who ar--,"
"I'm Death, Yes you're actually dead, No I don't know if your family is okay, No I don't know where you are going, and Yes I do have a black cloak,but that's so 2007."
" This is crazy, I cant be dead...wait how did I die"
"do you not remember getting hit by a 18 wheeler or"
" No i mean i remember that its just i'm only 26"
" darling, i don't pick when people die"
"but i just got a promotion i cant have this happen"
" WOw your credentials look great you'll defiantly get in good with the big guy"
Death guides me towards a particularly interesting mini van with flames littering the side of it.
I look at him with a look i can only label as pure bewilderment
"hey kid just cause i have it good with the man upstairs doesn't mean i have it bad with the man down under," He says grabbing my elbow softly pulling me forward.
" How do i know you aren't some after life pervert" i ask crossing my arms over my chest
" can we skip the whole stranger danger thing, there's not much i can do to you on the account of you being dead" He grips my shoulder and pulls me forward with a bit more force.
I guess death really doesn't wait for no man.
