A blinding light interrupted my vision, causing everything to blur. We all have come to experience Earth,
yet my presence cannot be erased—not today and not now. That was my plea to God in a moment of prayer amid my crumbling life.
Suddenly, I felt a sharp slap across my face, and all I could hear was,
"Please… please don't do that to me!"
My vision was unclear, and it felt as though I had been in a deep sleep for a decade every time I shut my eyes. The lines on my palm seemed familiar,
and I recognized the scents surrounding me. From the sound of the horn, I could tell I was in a fast-moving car,
with the driver urging me to hold on. My sense of hearing never fails me. Then, I heard a voice filled with determination say,
"God has finally answered our prayers," as she grasped my cold hands against her belly.
I couldn't manage a smile out of disbelief because I comprehended the exciting news I had always yearned for.
The blood on her hands left me feeling numb, causing me to faint once more.
When I woke up, I felt cold and found myself staring at the floor.
