There I was.. laying back on the moons surface. Only this time.. all I could see was the sun.
"Hey, Lucky One!", a familiar voice said.
"I'm dead aren't I..", I concluded.
Lucifer walked closer, "I'm sorry to say, but yes."
"What had happened?", I asked.
"Which time?", Lucifer replied.
"You're saying, I've died multiple times?"
"We all do. Yes. Some recognize. Others don't. It's all a part of this experience we go through."
"We? Who's we?", my wound was healed from what had happened . But what had happen?
"You were shot.", Lucifer stated. "Would you like to see that event again?"
I Sat there thinking of how I could of been shot. And then a flash back rushed in my head for a moment. I remembered. I looked down at my stomach seeing the wound through memory but it wasn't there anymore.
"No", I whispered. I continued sitting in silence as Lucifer kneeled beside me. He reached out his hand and said "take this, this will be your last hope.", as he dropped a silver dollar coin into my hand. The worth of this coin had to be priceless.. it wasn't made from earth and it weighed more then it looked.
"Here put it in your pocket!" He gave me a little pouch to put it in. And I tied it and tucked in my pocket.
"So I've died multiple times?", I asked devastated.
I couldn't shake that thought of how I've died. How I've died more then once. But I've only died once.
"You can show me?"
"Yes!", he replied.
"I want to see the first time!"
His face smiled as he opened his hand again and there was a simulated picture.
"The very first time you've past. Accidental miscarriage. The second, car accident, the third fire, the fourth serious wound..."He went through my whole life.. every single one. Just before the last .. until he told me the 30th, that was different from all the others.
"This was your 30th..." he showed me. As tears fell down my eyes. I was on a stool. The light was on me. The rope was hanging from the ceiling. I stood tall and strong. Then... I kicked it.
I couldn't watch it all. It was to saddening to watch."Why would I do that?", I thought. I looked at my wrist and there were scars.
"Would you like to know how you gotten those sc-"
I cut him off, "No, I remember these."
Lucifer stated, "just know there only scars. Scars will heal. And you... ..will learn."
We both stood up together. And as we did, I hugged him. He didn't know how to respond. So I made it quick. Then I looked hard into the sun. There was no way it was blinding me. My eyes were new now. "My eyes are pure."
"Your eyes are pure". (In harmony the both said.)
