I died today.
All I can see is darkness. What happened to the light ? The light they told me I would see. The hand of the angel that was supposed to guide me to a better place. Did I do something wrong ?
Wait, I see a hand before me.
It is black.
Farewell.

you forgot to open your eyes dear child you are much to beautiful and kind to see black. Open your eyes and your heartto the light.

You leave the reader with an interesting question. Is the hand black because it is the Devil's hand, or because God is black? Or your angel was busy doing something that blackened his/her hands, and was running late for your welcome?

Nice write- it's powerful and emotional. Great take on the idea even if I don't agree with it! ;-) Thanks for entering!
