The Waiting Room

I never thought much about dying. When I did, I’d do everything I could to think of something else. But here I am, dead. Standing in a line of course because what else would your soul be doing once it’s all over. I look down to notice I’m still holding my suitcase. It starts to come back to me. The crash. My cousin and I were on a road trip, which means…

Sure enough, I look behind me, and there she is Addy, standing right behind me in line. We both didn’t make it, holding our luggage in line. I looked at her and said this is it, a line. This is what we died for. She gave me a small smile. I could tell she was just as scared as I was. When I’m nervous I try to be funny. The line keeps moving. The two of us keep moving forward. Until we get to the front of the line.

A lady stands at the front. “Who crashed the car?” My cousin and I look at each other not sure why she is asking. She notices and says, “You’re not in trouble I just need to know.” “Oh, I did,” I say quietly. She looks right at me, and I now know what it means to have someone look into your soul. “Okay, you two are going to go down this hallway into the room at the end where you will wait for your assignment. She hands us both a folder.

“What is this place?” Addy said. “I’m guessing it’s a waiting room until they know where we are going next,” I said. “Ella what if we get separated?” Addy said. “That’s not going to happen, they would have already done it. You’re stuck with me.” I said jokingly. I got her to smile. Then I looked at our suitcases and said, “Well I guess we did get to bring stuff with us.” I went to look in my bag and Addy followed. We opened our bags to find everything we’d packed still inside.

“Well if we get sent to a beach paradise we will be all set,” I said looking at all the beach gear. Addy looks at everything and says, “We were on our way to a beach paradise, a cousin trip getaway, remember?” I look at the sun hat I pack. “Yeah, I know. I did everything I could to avoid it.” “I know you did,” Addy said. I looked up and noticed a…
