Immortality

Chapter One: Death…

I could feel it almost taste the sweet, saltiness of the tears as they feel from my eyes. Mascara laded eye lashes drooped in a very unattractive manor, leaving me defenseless to the ugliness of the world. I must have looked like a demonist, crying mascara tears as black as hell itself.

I lay still in my confined box…like a corpse in a coffin…except I was every much alive. Already I tried to dig myself out with no prevail, the silkish cloth of the roof of the coffin hung in shreds and I'm sure the wood roof was scratched to hell also.

I gripped my fingers in my palms, yet I couldn't manage to make a fist; the frantic scratching also made my fingers bleed and the hot shots of pain though my left ring and middle finger told me I ripped off at least two fingernails in my frenzy.

My air started to run low, I could tell by the additional pain I was having in my chest…like someone was sticking a needle strait into my lung. It was excruciating, but the thought of dieing seemed to dull the ache in between my breasts.

I must have laid in the dark confines of the box for hours, thinking that any minute I would pass-out from the lack of air and die a painless death, but the six foot separation from the surface of earth must have brought me closer to hell. For God could no longer hear my pleas of help. Only the Demons confined to hell could hear and they cared not for me, a mortal, but wanted my immortal soul.

Finally after what seemed like days of repeated memories and plans for the future that I would never be able to see, my time came. I could feel my blood pulsing slowly though my body, till it seemed to stop and like a rusty valve is finally cease to open again. My heart pumped once more before quitting and my brain went completely dead. Even if I were to be saved at that very second, it would be too late, I would be a vegetable in a human body.

It was the end, not for me, but rather the confines of earth itself. Reality as I knew it was non-existent, I could travel freely though history, future, and space…it was like opening a door and a new adventure presented itself. It was my new life, one without laws and restitutions, no limitations and everything was in my grasp: Ancient Greece, the Adirondacks in the spring, life-forms on sister planets light-years from earth…everything put one article of the universe was at my hands and it was the most important detail of my new life.
