My Angel

        I let my legs push me as far as I could go ignoring the loud howls and growls behind me as I ran further and further hoping to the lose track of the foul creatures on my trail. I sped up slightly as I spotted in the distance a light through the trees hoping whatever that light opens up to will be my hiatus from this jungle. I ran faster and further but it felt as if no matter how fast or far I seemed to to ran the speck of light just got further and further. Then all of a sudden I heard a sound that made him stop short. A scream. It was a simple high pitched sound that made his heart stop.

“You gotta snap outta this Bill and keep running and ignore it before the sun sets and your trapped here” I told myself no-one was here with me I had suddenly woken up here alone two years ago with nothing but the knowledge of onely my name and one other. Sarah.  I don’t know who she is or what she means to me but everyday I come here to the floor of the jungle to search for her and for two cycles around the sun i’ve come up with nothing. With a sigh I turn around and take off towards the Speck once again. Just as I finally make it to the clearing my home for the past two years I climb into my treehouse that i’ve been taking shelter in since I woke here the only odd thing is that I woke up here in the treehouse a pre-built structure there were once other people I believe it my job to find them I climbed into my tree-home and looked around walking over to me palette and lied down and fell into a dreamless sleep. I woke with the start to the sound of a crying women she saying my name softly as if it were a prayer. It didn’t frighten anymore because frankly every night at the same time I hear her tears the tears of an angel I call them they are the only constant thing in this hectic life I have lived since I opened my eyes. I once again closed my eyes but this time not to sleep, this time it is to listen. Listen to the angel all around me shedding tears on my behalf. Then on a whim I open my eyes and called out.

“Sarah” I called out and as if she was right next to me I reached out as if to stroke her face and give her comfort. I reached out to feel nothing but instead I didn’t it grazed a soft surface as if a cheek. All too suddenly my angels weeping stopped and it was replaced with a whisper they started out too low for me to hear then got higher in volume but the were too fast to comprehend. I sat back and said nothing just listened to the words that my angel tried to tell me I found myself listening to my angel until the night broke down and gave way to morning for her voice though fast it was in fact beautiful. My angels speaking slowed down and i began to fear that she’ll leave my then i felt lips on my cheek and whispered.

“Bill it’s sarah i’m here and i need you, i need to wake up for me i love you but now i must go” And with those word my angels presence was gone she left my to be alone once again. Then when I felt my angel was really gone I wept. For the first time since i got here I did not go out to search for sarah I had found her! She was my angel. Now I wanted to be there for her she needed me I closed my eyes and for the first time I dreamed.

My eyes burned but beyond that there was beeped and no longer was the smell was of wood and outdoors the smells was foreign to my nose. I open my eyes to the sound of talking. People! I found people! I turned my head to see a beautiful woman curled be side me in a bed made of not wood but metal. I opened my mouth to speak but my throat was dry and cracked so only a ungodly shriek arose from my lips. Her eye flew open and she was by my side in a second.

“You’re awake!” she yelled “ You were hit by a car on you way home from work two years ago do you know who i am?” I shook my head though she was beautiful i had absolutely no idea who she was. “I’m sarah your wife and i’ve been here for you every night for two years” She said tears streaming down her face. I said nothing I just sat and looked at the beautiful woman i’ve tried to find for two years and wept. She is and will always be My angel.
