Challenge of the Month XL
Above the body after death: Something all of us have heard or read about, or seen in documentaries or on film. Across human history, there has been one outlier that purely represents any given emotionally tied flashback that someone would have seen before dying: Good, bad, heartbreak, excitement, betrayal, or love that was not able to see itself through, and many more. Write a story or poem about this, the extreme outliers, both what they're flashing back to, and why they're about to die. Winning piece of ethereal lift and float gets the $100. Go.

Lifted To Eternity

The sound of thunder calls me to fear.

Awakened, with the desire to find mother nature’s voice.

I stare.

Into the sky until a bolt of lightning leaves no more choice.

Instant peace.

I can hear cries, as I rise.

Staring back at my reflection, paralyzed.

Flashes of light, draw my attention to memories of the past.

Some of them good some of them bad, but only one that lasts.

I’m standing in the darkness with tears on my face as he enters in.

He’s laughing at the site of my tears, as if only evil lives within.

I remember fear as he approached me with hate.

It was my innocence that he was there to take.

As my vision begins to fade and my tears begin to dry.

I can hear a river of innocence whispering that’s a lie.

For your innocence will be restored my son and all that pain is finally done.
