As Jack was limping through the jungle from the wound, the stab wound that was caused by Locke, he suddenly found himself surrounded by the bamboo trees and the shoe hanging from there. The same spot where three years ago, he had awoken when he first crashed on the island. Could it be fate? Or it is merely a chance that he was back at the beginning. Then again as Jack Shephard had learned while being on the island is that nothing is by mere chance. Maybe there was a reason he was here or maybe not?
As he lay himself down on the same ground where he had been three years ago, as his life was slowly living him, Jack heard barking. He turned his head to see Vincent as the dog lay down by Jack's side. The same dog that Jack had seen when he first awoken, was now by Jack's side
Then Jack looked at the sky and saw the plane flying over the island, the plane that was leaving the island with Frank, Miles, Richard, Claire, Sawyer, and Kate. Jack thought Kate, about how much he loved Kate and how he would never see her again. Maybe he would meet her in the afterlife and they could be together again.
Feeling his life leaving him, he closed his eyes and as he was fading into darkness. It's ironic. He thought to himself. Three years ago, I woke up in this spot when I first got here. Now three years later I die in this very same place where I was. Where all of this began.
