"You've been lying there for a long time," a calm young voice say.
I sat up in the and looked around. Things looked...different.
"I thought you'd never get up," a voice appeared in my head.
"I can't see you." I said in a weak voice. looking around, I tryed to put the pieces together. No people.
No cars. No Buses. Things were different.
"What happened to everything?" I asked the invisible voice.
"They're still here, you just need to concentrate. My name is Allison, what's your name?" The little
girl answered.
"Am I dead?"
"Well, yeah...kind of...not really. I don't know. You're here, that's all I know," her voice became flustered,
"Can you see me yet?"
"Allison huh? I have a grandma named Allison. I Still can't see you."
"I told you, you need to concentrate. You're in-between. Concentrate on my voice." She said.
"Were you sent to me?"
"Sent to you? Keep concentrating. No one is sent to anyone, I was just bored. Can you see me now?"
"I'll let you know" I replied.
"Boy, were you a mess when you landed! My folks would never have let me see something like that on tv! Whew,
what a mess. It's pretty neat when everything comes back together.
"Do you like to fish? I never went fishing, will you take me fishing sometime?"
"I can see your outline on the steps. Maybe you should go fishing with your folks."
"My parents..." her eyes turned downward, "My parents are alive."
"Oh, sorry to hear that."
"I guess." I wasn't sure if that was the right response. I'm not up to date on afterlife ediquette. The
details inside the girl's outline started to form, she was about ten with sandy hair. I couldn't tell the color
of her eyes yet and I started to see the outline of others walking by.
"There's a lot of people here aren't there? They look busy."
"Most people here are not very friendly. I guess it's the place. They all have something to do."
Thunder clapped and down the street, I saw that blue flash of energy again. It stayed on the ground with three
appendages of blue lightning extending toward the street in different directions as it crawled around. It a appeared
to be looking for something. Then it wrapped its arms around a tree trunk and dissolved into the tree.
