I'm Lillian Hajari and my life is a rollercoaster. I live my life on the edge and I can't ever escape death. Though for a while, a boy, a very certain boy, took my mind away. He traveled into my brain and switched flips that have been off for a very long time. I felt things and I wasn't numb. However, I didn't know how hard it was to leave him. Little disclaimer: Hey everyone. I just wanted to brush up on some things before you all begin to read (thank you for choosing my story). The title of this story is a Rise Against song but the band is not in this story. The events in this story are completely made up by me, and I have nothing against the countries I mention in this story. Please have an open mind when reading. I have no intentions of offending anyone. Thank you all so much and I hope you enjoy.

It's amazing how this turned out to be. in his earlier book "Still Questing", Sammy pondered on many life's questions, life's issues and sought for peace for his turbulent and quarrelsome soul... but here - he's got it all sorted out. "Ask, and you shall be answered; knock and it shall be opened onto you; seek, and you shall find..." (Luke 11:9) What are the life's questions you are asking? What challenges have caused you unrest? Are you worried about a thing? You sure are asking what will happen after death! In the lines of the poems in this book, there's something you must grab, and never to let go. "Sammy's poetic style is smooth, simple, powerful and practical..." - Gbenga Idowu

• Christian romance in here! • Sneak Peek here! I plowed my way through the shattered bricks and rubble that lay in my path. Something scratched at my throat, forcing me to cough up dust from asphalt that had been thrown into my system during the bomb time. "J-Jamie?" I croaked, kicking away a smashed chair that had once lay in our happy home. I explored some more, trying to find some signs of life anywhere. Suddenly, I tripped onto the cobblestone and turned to see what it was I had fallen over. A pair of legs. Not just any legs, but the legs that was wearing the new black pants that I had bought for Jamie. My breath got caught in my throat and I burst into tears as I realized who it was. Now I knew I was alone.
