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.

THE LAST CUT.

She has done it before, cut her arm.

She never believed it would cause real harm.

But she was hurt and slowly slid the knife.

Thinking about all the disappointments in her life.

She has lost a lot of her friends.

people she thought she would have until the end.

she has hurt so many people, but she didn't mean to.

she never made good decisions and she couldn't follow through.

this would be her final cut.

she felt the pain inside driving her nuts.

she lost her family and her love.

she dreams about being free like a dove.

she thought just for a second if she cut deep,

she could fall into a long sleep.

as the blade slowly slid.

her life flashed some stuff that her mind had kept hid.

she suddenly remembered the good times.

and how she used to shine.

wait she thought I don't want to die.

but it's too late now and she didn't get to say goodbye.

her blood is soaking the ground.

her heart is making aloud sound.

her whole life flashed before her eyes.

And she shouted out some cries.

eyes slowly starting to shut.

now she knows this is her last cut.
