My death was unintentional, unexpected or whatever you want to say, but either way, I laid on the ground, physical disposition? My soul was adjacent to life. Haha! It all happened fast. What has it been now? 24 hours? I will come to..... This is about the third time, now. First my father, than mother........ Then me..........My sister. ...... its funny, at the funeral for our mother, I remember telling Katie, that it was all crazy and it all was a dream...... And that anyone, anywhere, could die on.................
Any Given Day.

"So, who are you in this new version of my life?" I asked quietly.
He looked surprised by my question, and said, "I would say that's up for you to decide, Victoria."
