"My name is Allie Addams I was murdered June 6th 2019. I was 13 years old going to turn 14 the week afterwards.
It was a friday afternoon, Vivian was preparing dinner my boss got a phone call. Peyton and Short Fuse were playing floor is lava. They look like they are having fun. Bouncing around the floor. And trying to make it to the couch. Boss comes up to me. He has something important to tell me.
He says a maniac is back. He wants me to go and find clues to the maniac. I go and do as I was told. I enter the base of the maniac I smell sulfur and rotting meat. The maniac appears behind me.
"Hey girl don't you know your breaking and entering?" the octopus asked me his breath stank.
"Im authorised to David" I feel prideful like I could handle him.
"I just need to take evidence and leave" I say. I see him take out a gun an assault rifle. I run but two other squids pinned me to a wall. I feel a punch in the back of my head a tiny one I hear the loud BANG BANG. I feel faint I feel myself floating. And I am hear"
Allie tells her counselor. Allie is in the barrier not heaven but not hell or earth. The barrier is heaven and earth combined.
"Oh Allie it happens the world is not fair, It's not your fault you're dead" her counselor gave her a bottle of Cherry Pepsi. Allie's favorite drink. The teenage cat slams the door and leaves and heads back to her room.
Allies air smells like strawberries because her mother grew strawberries. In the barrier the air depends on the soul's favorite scent. Her best friend Betsy Stevens air smells like freshly baked apple pie. Betsy was killed by the same man as her. Allie's death was ordered the man who killed her was doing the other mans dirty work and is now on death row.
Allies door was represented by a bracelet the one that could of saved her. Betsy ran up to her and hugged her.
"Allie the ice cream shop is open" Betsy grabs her hand and takes her to a giant ice cream cone. A worker asks them what ice cream they would like. Betsy got strawberry while Allie decided she was not hungry at all even though she is dead she misses eating with her team.
A young guinea girl just arrived an hour ago along with her twin brother. The girl wore a blue peasant dress her brown hair in pigtails and big round glasses. Her brother wore a top with blue bell bottom pants with long brown hair. The twins lived with their grandmother who was a flower child and raised the twins the same way. One day the grandmother died and the twins were placed in foster care. The foster dad was a criminal with a lengthy record. One day the girl named Lily scratched the foster fathers car he took something special away from her her innocence and youth. But her brother Lyle saw what he was done. The foster father knew they would tell a teacher so he slit their throats later. Their bodys were not found yet. The foster father dumped their bodys in the lake. The twins were nine years old.
"Can I help you?" Allie asked Lily not in a good mood.
"Are we allowed to have ice cream?" Lyle asked.
"Its free hear" Betsy tells the twins she is excited she got two cones.
Allie knows the twins are dead because only the dead can enter the Barrier no living beings are allowed. Allie walks away leaving Betsy with the twins. Allie is salty she misses being alive.
She was supposed to live for a long time. She gets on her swing decorated in purple and pink petunias she goes up and down the swing the seat is made out of wood and plush. Her purple dress flowed with the cherry blossoms as the swung on the swing. Allie soon got bored she remembers she can have what she wants she finds a weeping willow decorated with clocks. Curious the cat goes there. She finds orbs some looking down upon earth. She wonders how long its been since she's been dead. She lost track of time.
The cat picks up a orb she sees a elementary school and a little red haired otter. It was her friend Peyton she had some of Allies clothing but she did not mind because she does not need those articles hear. Inside Peyton's backpack was Allies sketch book. Allie sheds tears for the life that was cut short thanks to a vengeful, power hungry monster. Allie just sat there feeling sorry for herself.
"You have to give up earth"
"Life goes on"
"Everyone dies"
"Life's not fair"
"Bad things happen to good"
That's what the other souls tell Allie on a daily basis. She never asked to be hear. Allie sees a oversized electric guitar. Each soul in the barrier gets a item that represents them. For Betsy she has a friendship bracelet. Allie decided to take a walk in the forest. The forest contained cherry, apple and orange blossoms decorating the trees. Allie sniffs the tangy strawberry air. And sighs she sits on a rock looking down upon a valley. A valley of mountains and rivers. Allie puts her head down on the bed of moss flowers start curling around her hair. She has never had fun in this place that is her afterlife. Life on earth goes on and on and she's missing all of it.
