TODAY I DIED
My nails were pale bluish, blood had ceased, my lids were shut, I was as calm as a statue. Still I could see myself- and that was when I realised - my soul had left the body, you would better understand if I say - I died !
Before I could notice anything else about my still body, I found some of my loved ones to be really sad but some pretended to be so. Some updated their social media #RIP! and the others stood still as robots.
I was very much amongst them, even - I tried to nudge my parents but they were completely in a trance. Of course I was their only daughter and just a mere soul. Though I felt sad at my parents' loss, I was happy that I could go everywhere in just seconds. At a woosh! I could cross walls
I died at around 11 pm on 10th of december, it was chilly cold outside and it rained heavily too. So my dad with his heavy heart decided to wait till the dawn before performing my rights. That did hurt everyone! But wait some were hurt because they could not see my body getting cold and stiff, others were hurt because their routine was getting hampered and they had to leave for their work the next day .
This decision of my dad had hit me with an idea. Since there was time left for my rights - I could enjoy as a soul as I already did as a body. I wanted to read minds as that was something I did not do while living.
Gradually I turned through the mind pages of my near and dear ones, death had also guaranteed that people were double faced as life already did. If only I could make my parents aware of the bunch of snakes in their basket!
I couldn't.
It was time for my soul to return from break and re-enter the cycle of birth, death and rebirth. Who said peace followed death, from running the rat race as a human I was still in the race as a soul waiting for the next birth ! Nothing stopped, just the situation had changed. Some people's lives were affected by my absence but you know what my readers - life and death goes on and on, nothing stops.
Adieu! Meet you as a new personality, till then happy reading!
