• As I lay in a dark room, my breathing grows shallow. I hear footsteps in the hallway. My heart beats faster. Who could be wondering outside the door, I don't dare open my eyes to find out. Suddenly, it's quiet. All I hear is my heart going thump thump thump. Then, in the darkness,
    I hear a whisper. "I'v been looking for you." The whisper comes from outside the door. " I'v found you at last." The voice is by my ear now. As I reluctantly open my eyes, I see a face that could put any super model to shame. There, an angel stands by me with glowing wings of a bird. He holds out his hand and says, "Are you ready to go now?" His voice sounds so familier. I all too willingly take his hand. As I get up, my wings unfold gingerly outward. As I float up in this beautiful creature's arms, my memory comes back to me. The war, my husband, and the life I once had. The war was over, and I had died along with my love. I had lead a good life, and
    now, finally, I am going to rest in peace.

    THE END
