Question: New Categority!?!.!.!."Short Stories"!.!.!.this revised!.!.!.!.opinions!?
The doctors told me I might not make it through the surgery!. I felt peace because I've had a good life!.
My life was luxurious, and I never went without!. The only regret I have was not giving a little to help those less fortunate!. Oh well!. This is capitalism and if they needed something they could go get it for themselves!. Of course I made my money the old fashioned way; born into it!. If I die, I think I will miss shopping for fine animal furs in the windows of ritzy stores in Milan!.
Here it goes!. They are putting me under, and strange enough I was awake in a medical slumber feeling no pain!. On the contrary, I was feeling pretty damn good!.
I saw something!. A light!. I have heard these stories from weirdos on TV; seeing a light at the end of a tunnel, the pearly gates, St!. Peter, etc!.!.!.I laughed in my comatose state as the light grew nearer!. I guess it is true!. I can't wait to tell everyone about this!. Maybe I'll be on the Maury show!.
Drifting toward that brilliant light, it had the brightness of the sun, yet my eyes felt no pain, and the warmth was inviting!. I had a feeling of weightlessness, falling off the earth, if you will!. I was falling or floating, or maybe being pulled towards the ever warming rays, or starburst!.
I felt like an angel as I danced and twirled in my blackened tunnel!. The tunnel was indeed black, except for the light!. Had it always been dark!? I didn't take notice at first, being occupied with thoughts of shopping once I get out of this filthy hospital, and these cretins that call themselves 'professionals'!.
I continued to swirl with delight, making the best of my current situation, toward the heat of the bright light!. My 'tunnel' was gone and it must have been like space with nothing around except for that hot lux perpetua!.
Suddenly out of nowhere, but surely somewhere, I was being encircled by spirits or angels that defied any type of gravity!. They are beautiful! They move so gracefully! They are welcoming me, beckoning me to follow toward the light that was now so very large!. In my ecstasy I didn't realize how large it had become!. Nor did I realize how hot it was, and growing hotter still!. Is it supposed to be this hot!? I feel like it is burning my skin!.
A feeling of dread came over me as the huge light grew hotter tenfold for every second I approached, as if time even exists in this space with it's unworldly inhabitants!.
My fears eased some as the phantoms, or angels, or whatever these things were, held me without hands, ushering me to a destination unbeknownst at the present!.
Without warning I was being pulled, or rather sucked toward this infernal heat as the apparitional things showed their true colors at last!.
God! God! God! It burns! Help me God! Help me God! Save me! The light was red and burning a flame not of earth nor sun! I'm sorry God! Forgive me Lord! God get these evil things off of me! I'm sorry God! Please forgive me for my sins! Save me!

The family stood around the casket as it was being prepared for lowering into the ground!. Quiet sobs and crocodile tears were more then abundant at the thought of a sure inheritance, and a life on easy street!. The immediate family was thinking of leaving for Marostica for the human chess game, and others were thinking of feeding pigeons at Piazza San Marco, for their reservations had been booked, business class, when they received the news the cancer in the breast metastasized to the lungs!.
The priest finished, "O God, the Creator and Redeemer of all the faithful grant to the souls of Thy servants departed the remission of all their sins, that through pious supplications they may obtain that pardon which they have always desired; Who livest and reignest for ever and ever!. Amen!.
The brother of the lady who passed and his wife had similar thoughts that ran thus; "It's about goddamn time!. I didn't think he would ever shut the hell up!."
He couldn't wait to pull off his tie, and suit for that matter, when he looked over the flowers that sat atop the highly polished reddish-brown mahogany casket, and noticed the dead ladys' sister, his baby sister was truly saddened!. He gathered everyone around her, for she was the only one who was missing her older sister!.
Her brother made all hold hands as the priest, now completely forgot about, looked on as the brother said his own impromptu prayer; "We'll all be together in Paradise soon!." His heartbroken little sister was the only one who did not say 'Amen', but thought it was ironic that the word 'improper' is the very next word in the dictionary after 'impromptu'!.
The mans wife agreed her two cents worth and said "Yes, we'll all be together soon!." as she was walking toward her Escalade!.
The priest silently agreed with the sister-in-law, and grinned!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
