"Death is like sleep. But more forever. You have taken care of your body your whole life. You eat the right food, exercise, and do what you have to in order to get through. Death is the moment when you realize your body took care of you. You realize that when you cried, your eyelashes cleared away the tears. You realize that when you got cut, your body would patch it up, fix it. You realize that when you were tired your brain told you to go to sleep. You realize with how much you did for your body, your body did more. When you're dying, you sort of, float out of yourself. You look at your body and you want to go. All your life your body holds on, and you never want to let go. When you're dying you feel as though it's too much effort to live anymore. Your spirit takes your hand, and it feels like every single thing that you ever worried about wasn't important any more. You feel a entire peace, and you let go." The voice finished and I looked around. I felt cold wrap around me, and I looked up at the ceiling. "Sleep now...." I heard the voice say. I felt faint and layed down in the snow blanket forming around me.

"Jade, Jade? Wake up! C'mon wake up!" Hmmm, I hear Calvin's voice. I feel my eyes are so heavy. I feel like I am dead. I can't open my eyes. I squeeze them shut even harder, trying to force them open and closed. They don't do anything. "Calvin? Help me I can't open them!" I screamed. I felt his hands grab my arms. "You're flailing, you're flailing! What's happening?" He yelled, trying to hold my arms down. I heard the voice, it giggled again. "Alyssa, this isn't funny!" I yelled out, not knowing what else to say. "Alyssa is dead! She isn't doing this!" Calvin yelled, slamming my arms to the ground. I struggled more, and yelled again "No! I heard her, I heard her and she covered me with snow! I heard her I swear!" I felt my body stop moving. All I could hear was his breathing and the beat of my own heart. My eyes flew open, and I saw Calvin, tears streaming down his face. "What happened?" He asked, letting go of my arms. I shot up, facing him. "I think she found it funny to... posses me." I muttered. "What's it like?" He questioned, puzzled. I laughed, and whispered in his ear "let's pretend this didn't happen, nothing." He nodded and smiled.
