"Is your life how you imagined it to be? Did you accomplish what you believe you were set out to do? Were you a good person? If not, do you want to be? 
You need to decide because your time is almost up."

The imagery of death baffles humanity every day. No one knows what to make of it. No one has ever seen it and came back to tell those what they had seen. Is it made of white lights, and then absolute darkness? Pearly, golden gates, or scolding, orange flames? Is it a mirror image of life, but living the same day over and over again? Or is it possibly just an illusion? A mind trick?
We put those thoughts into the back of our minds so we don't have to think about it until we want to. We store them, where only the watchers can see. We show them the things we don't want to envision. The images and memories we don't want to regard. Our pain and our suffering get sent to them. We show them the things that remind us of death. No one will know what to expect until it's their time. Until then, we sit, wait and wonder.

Everyone thinks he should have recovered after that much time, but Allan still haunts Elliot every night. He struggles to maintain relationships with his family, and despite a coworkers interest he can't summon up the courage to date. Elliot is living for the past, because to live for the present means he'll have to live with a hole in his heart. But the question Elliot has to face chases him through his monotonous days: is mourning Allan with everything he has truly living? [[word count: 40,000-50,000 words]]
