I'm Not Afraid of Death?
I always imagined it would be like the end of a video game, assuming our screen would just go blank when our time was up. What I'm most afraid of is the lights snapping back on and God would be standing there, I know where I would be going...and I had a feeling it wouldn't be Heaven.
I'm not afraid of death, I'm curious about it. After all, no one has lived to say what it felt like. When your lying at your death bed, do you just close your eyes and bam! Eternal sleep? Maybe it's an otherworldly feeling of your spirit lifting out of your body and ascending the steps to heaven? If we immediately go to Heaven or Hell...how does someone become a ghost? Does God say "Okay you've got 15 minutes go make the best of it." There are so many things we don't know... I should be scared of being shot or being hit by a car but...
I'm not afraid of death, I'm curious.

sorry i made speeling mistakes in that comment here is what i meant to say :
i really like this piece. i'm going to be honest, i am terrified of death, but i think thats just because of my fear of the unknown. At the end of this life there could be a God waiting for you but there might not be. Have you ever read the lovely bones or the five people you meet in heaven? well that is what i would like it to be, guess'll we will never know, well (hopefully) not soon anyway!! sorry about the rant, but, yeah five out five, i loved it, great job!! I wrote an article in this section called Live, Laugh, Breathe it might interest if you ave time could you please take a look at it? thanks and well done again!!
