Great scene and jump from the idea of the challenge, both in the haunting and in the beautiful sense.

It’s not letting me rate (5 stars). I like how everything is so beautiful that she doesn’t want to go back to living. Well described scene that makes a return to normal life seem haunting.

my wife read this and cried she has had to be revived like seven times in her life. she said it was similar but the conversations are longer and they usually begin with a tour, sounds like my normal type of humor but she was serious.

@Mighty Joe: at least it gets an emotional response, which i think is in the vain of the challenge. Unfortunately, I didn’t have room to describe the tour: Ficlet Nirvana’s a bitch sometimes :) hahaha..
I hope she enjoyed it at least…

Is this a meditation on the beauty of second chances? On angels? On life itself? I think it’s all of these things. :) Beautiful. Haunting, even.

Translucent silver sounds ethereal. Great descriptions! I liked it.

Wow, I know everyone’s gonna kill me for this Twilight reference, but it made me think of Carlisle.

I am awestruck..I could almost see this story unfold before me.. In my mind I could almost hear the angel speak.. Awesome story.. very gripping, and true to form.. hauntingly beautiful.

hauntingly beautiful. wow. : ]

Quite beautiful, and I agree, I liked that she was so attached to the beauty of the afterlife that she didn’t want to go back. Thanks for entering!

You used so many great phrases in here… “slick and crimson”, “summer twilight”. They really enhance the mood. Great job! It was most definitely “hauntingly beautiful”.
LoA

Oops, didn’t mean to comment twice. My bad.
