Me and My Friend (1 rating)

We had never looked in the morgue!

We decided to go there the next day. We could not sleep that night. My roommate was more spiritual than I thought. He explained me how the land of the living and the dead sometimes mixed and the outcome was unpredictable. Before I knew I was asleep. I saw him again this time he was at a cemetery and was standing in front of a tombstone.

I woke up my friend and I forced him to accompany me to the cemetery. The trip to the cemetery was coinciding with day break. I could see the sunrise and I thought "There is so much beauty in the world". Just the thought held my breadth. At the gate my roommate said that he was not coming inside. I ran in through the path to the place where I saw my friend in my dream.

I read the tombstone. I felt a tear trickle down my cheek and moist soil on my knees. My head was suddenly heavy and I could not believe my eyes. I read it again. Every alphabet spelled correctly, even the date of birth.

It was my name!

"I have not thought about it before and you may have not. But heaven and hell might be right here"
