7 YEARS LATER
"My name is Jennifer Kraft. My friends call me Jen and my husband calls me Jenny. You may read about me in the paper this upcoming Sunday. You see, I died."
"The day I died started out like any other day. I woke up and took a shower. As I walked downstairs to make breakfast for my husband and my daughter, I tripped and fell downstairs."
As Jennifer fell downstairs, she hit her head on the pillar, and fell to the floor.
"However, that's not what killed me."
Jennifer stood up and got an ice pack out of the freezer.
Later, Jennifer walked through the grocery store and narrowly missed being hit by a forklift.
"The forklift didn't kill me either. As a matter of fact, every near-death experience that day didn't kill me."
Throughout the day, Jennifer had many near death experiences. She almost got hit by a truck outside the store parking lot, almost had a lamp fall on her head while visiting her cousin, and almost fell off the balcony at her cousin's third story apartment.
Later that day, I took my 17-year-old daughter, Carla, to McMay's to find a dress for her junior prom.
Jennifer sat in chair while Carla came out of the dressing room wearing a hot pink dress.
"How do I look?" Carla asked.
"Like a million bucks," Jennifer replied.
Jennifer walked over and looked at the price tag.
"$300?" Jennifer asked in disbelief. "I'm not paying $300 for a dress. I draw the line at $50."
"Why are you so cheap?" Carla asked.
"Excuse me?" Jennifer asked.
"Prom dresses are expensive!" Carla whined. "You have to be cheap, even for my prom! All my friends get to have whatever they want and their mothers take them to Cumberly's."
"Get dressed and meet me in the car," Jennifer said in an angry tone. "I'm not getting you anything, you ungrateful brat!"
Jennifer stormed out of the store and Carla followed after her.
"Mom!" Carla shouted. "I'm sorry!"
"I don't want to hear it!" Jennifer shouted.
A female security guard walked out of the store and took Carla by the arm.
"Excuse me, ma'am," the security guard said. "You didn't pay for that dress. You need to come with me."
"Great!" Jennifer shouted. "Just great."
"Then it happened..."
At that moment, a black van with no license plate sped through the parking lot, ran over, Jennifer, and kept driving.
"Mom!" Carla screamed in horror.
Carla and the security guard ran over to Jennifer.
"I died…."
