Riveting, exciting, enthralling, captivating, spellbinding... That's all the things he was to me. Yep. He was my greatest hero and the furthest thing from attainable for me. Here I am sitting at the beginning of the end of my world, but it feels like any other day.
I've got two ghosts sitting next to me... one on either side. One's a girl with black hair hanging over one eye and dressed pretty much all in black. She's wearing a black tank top and a long skirt in the middle of winter. She doesn't feel it... She's dead. The other is a guy with short spiky sandy blond hair, green eyes, red-tinted sun glasses, fitting jeans purposely tailored to look torn and a sleeveless white tank top with woolly red arm socks. He says his name is Reez. She says her name is Ebony... No wonder she wears so much black. Although, they don't really talk much; they get their messages through to me by means of my dreams.
They came to me one night in my sleep coincidentally at the same time for the same reason, but they're from very different backgrounds... She's from a little town in Canada; he's out of the spot light from Latin America. She's an average girl; he's an ex-celebrity. Why did they come? They are my new life-guides. Why? Well, it's because it was punishment for their unfulfilled lives. However...Their guidance hasn't really done me much good thus far.
I'm sitting on a little bench under a small gazebo with six layers of clothing on to keep the cold off my skin. I see a vague reflection of myself on the icy pond's surface. I see a blurry form of a gangly kid with short blond hair and pale skin... What little of it that is exposed anyway. The rest is just covered in bundles of clothing.
So, why is it the beginning of the end for me? It's the end because I'm supposed to die soon...no chronic illness, no assassination, and no attempt on my life... I'm gonna die because I need to disappear for a while. So technically I'm not really losing my life, but home sweet home is gonna be the last sentence on my mind for the rest of my existence. And that guy who is so spellbinding... Who was so very close before is going to be eons away now. I'm not moving away. Surprising? I understand the confusion. Apparently I'm going to be put in a coma for a while. Yep, now you know how I'm going to disappear. This world is burning to the ground, and I'm going to sleep through it all. It seems I have some kind of higher purpose in the future times. That's what my ghostly guides tell me. This life held no trials for me to face, so I'm going to sleep instead. I don't know for how long, but my ghostly friends assure me I won't age while I'm asleep.
Reez's head snapped up and I followed his empty stare to a shadowy figure floating through the snow towards me. Ah, it's the reaper.
The figure materializes in front of me. He's just a black shadow as silent as they come. It motions with a long shadowy hand for me to step forth. I do. It reaches out towards me and I feel Reez and Ebony lay comforting hands on either of my shoulders before the knowledge of my own existence comes to an abrupt end as the shadowy hand makes its first contact with my forehead.
