"Alright class. A new essay. This time you have to explain the differences between life and death." Mr. Lancer stated calmly as soon as the class had settled down. Everyone nodded and decided to start on it…

Not that he minded….he had to grade papers and he had a big headache. When suddenly Lancer looked up to see Danny Fenton banging his head on the desk.

….What is wrong with that teen? The teacher thought silently. He broke out of that thought when Danny raised his hand and said really fast "Can I go to the bathroom?" The teacher rolled his eyes and waved him off…. With all the essays he was planning he knew he would figure out Daniel Fenton's secret

He just knew it.

……………………..

Danny groaned for the third time in those 30 minutes. He had to write Lancer's essay. His eye's lit up as he began to write, he was just writing his opinion, considering he was half dead….

He finished just before a ghost arrived. Great, it's Skulker, Danny thought with a frown. He sucked him up in the thermos when he was done fighting him and once he landed on the bed in his room, he changed to his human form and fell asleep instantly.

………………………

Lancer was shocked once again. Danny Fenton's essay made more sense than anyone else's essay ….

Life and Death: Defined my Way

By Danny Fenton

You say there is a difference between Life and Death. But a lot of people say life is when you can breathe and live, they say that death is when you have no pulse and your heart isn't beating. Well I would say their half wrong. To me life is just simple, like one day you're born and the next day your walking around enjoying the whole world.

But death is different than that. Our town has ghosts…right?

So if those ghosts were once alive, then they became dead, it kind of show's a connection. A very close connection. The Ghost Zone is so much like the Earth. There's different places and the ghost's live in their own lair. While here on earth there different place's and almost everyone has their own home.

But what if….what if there was one person, or another, or another! Maybe a million, who knows! Maybe these individuals are still alive….yet their dead at the same time….Maybe they could be half-dead while their living part is still there. So really, must these half-dead people be singled out from the rest of us? In theory, were all going to end up WITH an afterlife, so it's no use? That shows another connection. So really, Life and Death don't have any differences. Their both the same almost.

Except with Death you have an afterlife and with Life you have….well life. Those are the only difference's I see….But what if you could stop death? What if you could turn back the clock, to prevent it?

"Someone" once told me "I see the parade from above, and all the twists and turn's it might, or might not take…." So does that mean that our life, as of when we are born, is formed ahead of us? Does it mean that WE choose to die, or someone chooses for us? Would it be ok to have someone controlling your life? Or having someone controls your afterlife?

That wouldn't be very generous now wouldn't it? Think about it….What really is the difference?

Life: you live, breathe your warm and enjoy the whole world that revolves around us, people love you and want to protect you.

Half: You live, your warm, you breathe=1 half, You barely have a pulse, your cold, your heart barely beats=Other half.

Death: you don't live, you don't breathe, your cold. All the people fear you and try to destroy you.

So, there is a thing line (or wall) between life and death. Really thin, if one person were to stand on it they wouldn't know which way to go, some day's it might tilt lightly to Life, other days it'll tilt dangerously close to Death.

In conclusion there really is no difference between Life and Death. At least in my opinion.

After you read this will you have the same opinion as me? I hope so and I hope not. After you read this will you UNDERSTAND that you shouldn't stand in that thin line? Because I do, so very much.

Do you think there's a difference? Ask yourself this over and over until you get the answer…

Lancer once again wrote and A+ at the corner, frowning as he wrote the same message as last time, only in bolder print. Stating they REALLY needed to talk.

'See me after Class…'

…………………………….

"Yes Mr. Lancer?" Danny asked as he walked into the classroom once again. Lancer looked up and said "Daniel your essay was pretty good, but I need to ask you this. What made you right that? What made you right the questions?"

Danny shrugged and let a small tired smile graze his lips "In these essays I only speak the truth…" Lancer narrowed his eyes and said "You can leave now but be prepared for the next essay…"

Danny walked out of there and softly closed the door. The old teacher sighed and replayed the young teens words in his head 'In these essays I only speak the truth…..' So does that mean the boy had a big secret? One he wasn't willing to confront with and just hide it?

Lancer wrote on the board a few words. As he left the classroom he read the board. It said:

'Next Essay: Isolation'

The teacher thought that would be enough to figure Daniel out. And he walked out the door.
