Billie Bob Taylor
I thought I was dead.
I must have been dead.
It was the only explanation on why Pa was staring back at me with tears in his eyes. I feared everything I had heard moments prior was simply a fiction of my imagination. They always did say everyone perceived their afterlife in different ways and I figured in death everything I had lied to my heart about desiring came to light.
That even though I had everything I could ever want, my heart would always crave to just see my father for one last time.
Yet I soon realized I was not dead when Doctor Otto's face looked down to me. "Bobby, we need you to stay calm," he gently told me as he smiled.
I had not realized I was choking on something until all my senses came back to me. I let out a loud groan as tears welled into my eyes. All my memories came flooding back to me and I released the warm hand I had been holding then frantically tried to rip out the wires attached to my arms.
