Adventures in Death
This is a story that is based on what I "hope" was a really intense dream I had. I find myself dead and standing in a line on an ancient looking rope bridge. I've never been very good at waiting in a line so I slowing begin to talk my way ahead of the others in line. One of the first people I encounter is a young women who is very upset that she had been killed by a drunk driver who had never been caught. When I tried to console her, I was transported from the bridge to where she had been killed and was able to cause the killer to be captured and punished. Returning to the bridge I found her no longer angry but happy and at peace. Somehow, I had changed her and thought how cool it was to have done that. I meet many more people and experience many more adventures as I did with the woman. Some of the people I am able to help and some I can't, but was somehow able to make very small to very drastic changes along the way. The story ends at the gates of both heaven and hell however my story ends differently from everyone else's on the bridge.
