She wasn't a bad kid. She never snuck out, she always did her chores, she had good grades.... So, what had she done to deserve this? Never has she once doubted God - If He was really up there. And that is what sixteen-year-old Aliana Karson begins to wonder when she wakes up in the hospital room 406. If God was up there, and was really as fair as people preach, then why had he chosen her for this terrible fate? She was a perfectly good person; kind, beautiful, smart, talented. Though, if you asked her what the one thing was that she wanted out of everything - her answer would be simple. Easy. Quick. To dance. That's all she wanted. She breathed for it, she lived for it. She loved it. But what happens when that is all shattered? What happens when the one thing she loved since she was three is ripped from right under her feet... literally? Could God really be that cruel?

I see things.  Things that normal people do not see.  Of tormented faces and twisted images. I feel things.  Things that normal people do not feel. I suffer so much internally that I cannot feel physical pain. So I dance. I dance with death.
