Chapter 1 - Paige

They say that when you die, your life flashes before you eyes. For me, when I died, my life did exactly the opposite. For me, it was like I was still living. I saw the accident in slow motion. I saw the paramedics wheel my lifeless body away, screaming at each other that I needed saving, when in actuality, I needed much, much more than that. I saw my parents crying, finally together for once. I saw my friends, too shocked to speak, to shocked to think. I could read and see all of their expressions, yet they could not see me. I was gone, into a lifeless world of nothingness. I felt as if I was a shadow, lurking in the background, hoping and waiting for someone to haunt in their dreams. I felt like a soul trapped with a story waiting to get out. I was gone. I was ready to finally express myself. And I did exactly that.
