In Bertha Haines's 35th year, many things happened.
Her grandfather passed away from a sudden stroke, so suddenly that she didn't even get to see him one last time.
Soon after his passing, Old Master Smith also left this world. Perhaps people have a premonition before they die, which is why, the day before he left, he called everyone back. He passed away peacefully without any illness, merely falling asleep and never waking up.
For a moment, Bertha felt a sudden fear—afraid that one day, she too would face such an end.
In truth, dying isn't the frightening part; what's scary is that death takes away all your thoughts and consciousness, leaving nothing of you in this world anymore.
Amos Smith said, "Even though I don't believe in ghosts and spirits, I wish they were real. I hope after we die, we can enter reincarnation so we can be together again in the next life."
