David

David was dying. His lungs were deprived of oxygen, making his struggles to dislodge Ayesha feeble and ineffective, the light was dimming, and his brain was giving out.

It was time to accept the inevitable, take stock of his life, and say his mental goodbyes to his loved ones before the light was snuffed out completely.

His mother and sister would be sad, but since he hadn’t been a big part of their lives, they wouldn’t miss him all that much. They would mourn for a while, and then they would go on living their lives.

David regretted not making a greater effort to spend more time with the only family he had left. If he somehow survived this nightmare and woke up, he vowed to do better.

But his biggest regret was leaving Sari and the life they could have had together. He refused to accept that this was the end and that he would never get to be with her again.

If reincarnation was real, he vowed to return to her.

After all, she was an immortal, and she would still be there for his next round, unchanged and just as beautiful as she was now. If he died today and was reborn tomorrow, in twenty-something years, he could return to her as a man. That was not a long time for an immortal, a blink of an eye in the span of her never-ending life.

Wait for me, he implored. I’ll find a way to come back to you.

“Don’t go! Don’t you dare leave me!” It was Sari’s voice, and it wasn’t in his head. “Fight, David.”

He opened his eyes, expecting to see Sari, or perhaps Ayesha, but both were gone, and all he could see in the darkness was a brightly illuminated doorway.

Endless love and peace waited for him on the other side. If he made it past the doorway, all his worries and struggles would be over. It beckoned to him…

“David! Stay with me!” Sari sobbed.

I’m sorry, my love, but I have to go. I promise to return to you.

As his spirit detached from his body and floated toward the light, a thin tendril remained attached, tethering him. Looking back at it, he realized that it would take only a light tug to sever the connection, but David hesitated. What if the tether was Sari?

The sound of the door slamming shut had his spirit head turn sharply toward it. A silhouette floated in front of the closed door, framed by the light seeping through the seams.

“You are not going anywhere, David. It’s not your time yet.”

He would have known that voice anywhere. “Jonah?”

His brother’s form solidified. “Surprised to see me?”

“You’re damn right I am. How many nights have I stayed awake, begging you to make an appearance? And you come now? When I’m ready to join you?” David floated toward his brother. “Let me pass.”

“I can’t do that.”

“I’m dead, Jonah. Let me through.”

His brother’s ghostly hand slammed on his chest, pushing him back. “You’ve always been whiny, weak, and so damn self-righteous. You are not dead yet, but you will be if you don’t fight.
