This short based on a true story! My dad is not an accepting fellow. I'm scared to talk to him. He's... himself.

What would it do to me? Does it hurt? I guess the truth always does...

My entry for the #homebeforedarkcontest I published this book twice on this account, and another one. This account cannot win the contest, so, this copy is just for reading. My other account, ScarlettATracy, does have a shot at winning this contest, so, please read this book over there if you want to help out by getting my short story to the top of the list! Have you ever wondered what it's like to die? Have you ever wondered what comes after death? Scarlett Baker was only 14 when she was tragically killed in a robbery. Her soul was erased from her body for exactly 47 minutes until, she was brought back to life. But durning the time she was dead, she discovered secrets were being kept from her, and her entire nation. What will she do when she realizes the future of her world depends on her unveiling these lies about death? Disclaimer : This has nothing to do with suicide. It's simply saying that heaven is better than earth. And also, for those whom know me personally, I chose the name Scarlett because I couldn't think of any other name.
