Let Me Die

A Chance (Jamie)

Cheerful voices rang out from outside Jamie's beach house, which she preferred to keep hidden and far away from Heaven's angels and living....er dead spirits. And if there was one thing about Heaven that lifted Jamie's spirit, it would be that there were dead people everywhere, and although death made her feel like a gloomy person, for now, and forever, it meant that she wasn't the only one that felt her pain.

And everyone just HAD to feel her pain.

She hurried out of bed, fully dressed, in a white shirt, and a long black skirt, making her look like a nun. But wasn't she? Being placed in this perfect world, where she couldn't escape, or haunt....

Meggie, my only friend on Heaven, came rushing up to me, in a more normal outfit, a tank top with a skull, and ripped boy shorts. "What's up with you?" Meggie asked. Usually, I would consider it an insult and hit her. But she was just joking. I was always up to something, and it wasn't always good. "Nothing" I walked faster, towards The Eye, the only place in Heaven, where you could view how your family was back on Earth. But before I had died, I had been a serious school hacker. I knew how to see what was going on in my old house, and for some reason, that hacking strategy wanted me. I rushed into The Eye, glad to see that it was totally empty, no guards or people, or anything. I walked up to the crystal ball, Meggie standing at the doorway. I spun it around in my hands, tinkered with the lock, and opened it up.

A swirl of wind blew off Meggie's baseball cap, and I almost lost my bracelet, but there it was, my house. There was a girl there, with flowing red hair and a sprinkle of freckles against her nose. "Name" I whispered. "Arianna Vreth" the ball replied. It all made perfect sense to me right then and there. Of course. Arianna was her way out of her, Arianna was the recarnation of her.
