oh yeah, I'm dead, how about you?

by The Huntress of the Night

I'm dead. No, really I got hit by a bus but that was years ago and do you know what? Being dead isn't that bad. I mean it's nice better than before. Until he came along of course. It's always a guy. He thought I was living and I know he was undead but he doesn't know that i know and does he really have to? I mean he maybe a vampire but it's like he can suck me dry, I am dead. ;)

1. Dead or alive?

New Idea I'm trying out. I just started typing and magic happened. Might be long, might be short. Who knows, but review and stuff!

Define dead.

Is dead when you're in the ground?

Or when you stop breathing and your heart refuses to work?

Or is it when someone breaks your heart?

Or maybe being dead is being a vampire?

But to me that's not dead. Vampires aren't dead, at least not to me. To the living, yeah, they are very dead, but to me…

Well to me, dead is being hit by some idiot night bus and falling over to the bridge into the river, only to wake up two years and realize that your heart isn't beating, you aren't breathing, but you're still thinking, moving, talking and walking.

Now define living.

Is it when you're breathing and your heart is beating?

Or when you have a family that loves and cares for you?

Or is it when you're in love?

To me, living is…Ha, ha ha…living!

The living are so amusing. They stumble about, unsure of what the world around means. A few try to find happiness. Some lust. Other love. Or power. Or revenge. But they never truly live.

You know the saying, "Everybody dies, but not everybody lives."

Well…right now, in this stage of my existence, it's more, 'everybody lives, but not everybody dies'. Because when you die and if you're lucky and don't get a straight ticket up to the pearl gates, that's when the real fun begins.

So this me and the story of who I lived!
