Red and white lights,
Flashing above my head.
People and Sirens,
Going off above my ears.
Red liquid,
Flowing from beneath me.
Tears and bawls,
Crying all around me.

White lights,
Bright lights,
Plain room,
Plain clothes.

My grandmother,
My grandfather.
“Where am I?”
I ask.

“Heaven. We’ve been waiting for you.”
