Last day on Earth

This short story is about someone’s last day on Earth, this is my opinion of what may happen. Hope you enjoy!

Opening your eyes, normally this is a natural thing for someone to do, no effort needed, almost like a reflex to waking up in the morning, but today my eyelids felt like 50kg weights, my arms were to heavy to even think about moving, my heads ringing like a school fire alarm I can hear people laughing but I also hear silence, the sound of silence, what is that? Does silence really have a sound? Today I can hear one. I’m not sure where I am but I don’t care either I don’t care what’s going on, I don’t care that I feel trapped, I don’t care about anything. A light feeling but yet heavy feeling is covering my body like a tight blanket reminding me of when I was a child and your parents tucking you into bed and making the sheets around you tight, my parents are dead now. The laughing seems to be getting louder and I feel almost about 60 years younger, my 13 year old self, so careless, so free, but what’s happening now? Am I alone? Why am I even asking? I don’t care. I feel sick but healthy, old but young, heavy but light, alive but dead all at once. Maybe I am dying, maybe my cancer is getting the better of me, if I think about it I can’t feel my breathing, maybe it’s better to not think about it. Do I dare open my eyes? Or do I stay resting peacefully, everything is so calm I don’t want this feeling of purity to leave. I have to open my eyes. If this is my last day on Earth I have to say goodbye. No don’t think of the worse, but it’s probably true, the strange sensation it’s nothing I’ve ever felt before, it feels amazing, the last thing I remember is falling asleep, is this a dream? Or am I facing the reality of death? Death used to be a scary thing didn’t it? You never wanted to die when you were younger, but you also wanted time to move faster, boredom always got the better of you. I start thinking about my only child, is she near me? If I am dead, is she ok? Turns out I do care, not about myself or what’s happening but about my daughter, I have to open my eyes, but it’s so hard! I have to put my whole strength into it.. I do it anyway, a blinding light visits me and, there she is! The only wonderful thing in my life staring straight over me, crying her eyes out.

“Shh. Shh. Relax honey, I’m here, I’m not leaving without a goodbye, I love you so much baby. Make sure Alex grows up with the best mum even better then me!” I chuckle slightly whilst crying as well, I don’t want to leave her

“Nobody could be better then you mum, I love you please don’t leave me, I need you.” She starts crying a bit more.

“You can be a better mum then me any day! Please don’t cry it’s my time to go, leave the room, get a nurse I want to go, it feels correct, I don’t belong here, I’ll miss you so much sweetie, remember I love you, I promise I’ll be watching over you until it’s your time, then Alex’s time and then his child, and so on we will meet again be strong I love you..” 

My daughter starts sobbing a lot I want to cry but I have to stay strong for her. I really will miss her so much, she leaves the room getting a nurse and then there’s nothing just a blurry memory of me and her slowly fading away, bye Earth, bye life, and most of all bye the most amazing daughter ever, Eliza I’ll miss you.
