"Angels"

Where was I? And who and was that pale woman staring at me?" I wanted to ask my father since I had no mother. She mother died a long time ago. Actually I didn't even know where my father was. But instead of my father answering me in the familiar voice, I heard a voice that cooed like a beautiful dove. Then I saw her! My own mother! I thought this couldn't be, I must be dreaming. But it turned out not to be a dream.

Looking around, I could not find or see my father or any of my friends. So I decided to talk to the strange person, who was watching me. I asked her where I was, and she was very strange because her reply was "Heaven"! This confused me, so I had to ask who she was and she said she was my mother! I didn't believe this either because I knew my mother wasn't so strange or pale. So I decided to lie down on the soft white cushion I was sitting on and try to wake up from this horrible dream. But I never did wake up from the dream. But it just kept on going.

When I sat up again I saw three new pale people and the one who claimed to be my mother. I wasn't as scared as before, but I still was a little fearful about this whole thing. At least I finally proved to myself that this wasn't a dream. I straightened up and looked at each new pale person in the eye and asked him or her "who are you?" One of them said she was my great-grandmother another spoke that he was my grandfather and the last one said he was my uncle. Then I brought about that all the people they had said they were appeared to be dead. Then I got the worst thought of all, I thought I was in heaven and that I was dead with the rest of my dead family members. I couldn't believe this but the only way to find out if it was true was to ask the strange ones.

  

The End
