Afterlife

Do you ever wonder what happens to your loved ones after they pass over? Do you ever wonder if you get certain signs from them, or if they are watching over you? Or perhaps you wonder what they do after they move on, and yes, it includes watching over their friends and family.

Ivy is 21 years old, a college student who wants to one day become a best selling author. She has a awesome family, and a fourteen year old sister named Emmy. One day in late November, her and Emmy decide to go to the beach and run a red light, leading to a fatal car accident, and Emmy doesn't survive. Stricken with grief, Ivy looks to connect with her sister in hope that she is still with us, and searching for answers beyond the grave. She realizes we are all simply a spirit, having a human experience.

I run my fingers along the old yellow couches when I hear a noise coming from behind me and I jump, surprised to see Emmy.

"Hey." I tell her and notice my voice floating around us.

She gives me a sad smile. "Hey sis."

"Are you okay? What's going on? There was a truck..." I say slowly, as I start to remember what happened.

"It's going to be okay, but right now I need you to be okay." She tells me, sounding wise beyond her years.

"Ems, what is going on? What does that mean?"

I hear a bark and Daisy, our German Shepard, comes running out of the kitchen and jumps into my arms, attacking my face with big slobbery kisses. I hold on to her and realize that Daisy died of cancer last year. How is she here? That's when I realize what is happening.

"Are we... Dead?" I ask quietly, my voice is shaking and barely above a whisper.

Emmy gives me a sad smile. "You're not dead. I just need you to be strong right now. You will understand some day."

"What are you talking about? We're not dead? Then what's going on? Why is Daisy here?"

"No sis, you're not dead." Emmy clarifies.
