An Unexpected Life

Where Did They All Go?

During the night, I started to dream not only for Lily but for a friend. She and I were very close friends. One day, she and I were just talking then suddenly out of nowhere, a voice came into my head, from her friend saying something offensive as a joke for messing with her. I think wanted to hit her, but she thought quickly and hit me in my stomach, and I fell to the ground. She said, "I'm sorry Trey" and ran off as I was lying there on the ground. I felt severely injured, but then I saw her trip. I wondered how she fell down, I then saw something in the distance, it was Simon, Geo, and Lily! I heard screaming, punching, and my vision started to get blurry and blurrier. That's all I heard. Then all of a sudden, I heard voices, crying, screaming, I heard my name a couple of times. Then someone said, "Come on, wake up." Another person said, "He can't be dead yet!" I heard beeping noises, and someone shouted, "1, 2, 3." I felt one hand touch mine, then another one, and another. I felt the nerves of a squeeze one by one, I responded by squeezing it back one by one as I felt them. I heard someone crying, I realized it was Lily. I heard Simon say, "Come on buddy, you got this!" I then heard, Geo, saying, "No dude, no... NO! You're in there somewhere! Come on, you can do it." After that, I heard someone say again, "1, 2, 3... CLEAR!" I felt a nerve shock coming through my chest to my spinal cord... but nothing. I felt my life was over after I heard nothing. I saw a bright light and I thought, "NO! I can't die right now!" I saw something I couldn't live without my mother and father together with their baby in hand, which was me. I heard one more time, "All together! 1, 2, 3! CLEAR!" I then felt an enormous shock going through my nervous system. By then I heard everything, and I saw the light of day again as I open my eyes. I looked up, I saw Geo, Simon, and Lily there. Not just those three were there, but Ghazal was there, and Chris Martin from Coldplay was there. I felt surprised by the joy that everyone I knew was there. I was smiling and crying in joy. I felt so happy to be alive right now as the worst fear that I faced when my life was about to be taken away. I felt so relieved as Chris Martin sang "Fix You" in acoustic on guitar.

I felt so relieved and happy as he played it. After the song was over, he played one of my all-time favorites, Viva la Vida!

As Fred Rogers always said, "Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping."
