He looked at the test-double visioned. Cody blinked to make it go away, and for a minute, it did. He looked over the test, it’s insipid and trivial questionsseemed to suck the wakefulness out of him. His double vision returned, and then he heard a voice. It came from within his mind-he knew all to well. Past experience had scarred him like that. Not again, he thought. He listened intently. It came again.
The voice was warm and light and it knew his name. Cody was caught by surprise by this, so he dug deeper, fully intending to follow the soft, sweet voice ofthe girl. Suddenly his whole body felt completely listless. Vital energy slipping through his fingers, Cody lost his grasp on reality.
When Cody’s eyes closed and his head fell to the surface of his desk with a loud thud, Ms. Harkam tried to wake him up. At first she was angry, thenfrustrated, and then she grew worried. Cody looked asleep but made no movements and responded in no way to whatever she did. He was breathing, slightly, but when she opened his eyelids his eyes stayed straight forward, never moving, as if in a trance. Ms. Harkam immediately had him sent to the nurse with a note explaining the problem. Thirty minutes later she received a note that Cody had been rushed to the hospital in an ambulance. Cody Todds was declared comatose.
After he lost contact with reality and fell through that pitch-black, freezing, hole, Cody had fallen asleep. When he woke again he was lying in a green fielddotted with pretty, multi-colored flowers. As a cool breeze licked his hair, the field rippled giving the look of an ocean of green serenity. Warm sunlight countered the cool breeze and a cerulean blue sky lay above him. He felt completely rejuvenated and energetic. He was refreshed, alleviated from the tiredness of his past few days. It was a genuine paradise.
He pranced around and frolicked like a 6-year old for a minute before the voice called his name again. He turned and ran toward it. He ran through the fieldfor only a few inches before it got unbelievably deep. Cody yelped as he fell through, caught by surprise. When he opened his eyes he found he was floating in the grass. It truly was like an ocean. With joy and eagerness in his eyes he amended to swim to the voice.
The field ended abruptly and Cody fell to the bottom of a hill with a large tree on the top. The leaves glistened in the sunlight. He ran up it as fast as he could.When he reached the top, it was cool and breezy. Shade provided by the tree stretched to the edge of the precipice to each side, overlooking the field.
Cody found a girl there. An angel, he thought. If not truly then at least remarkably like one. He stayed perfectly still. The girl turned her gaze from thefield to him and his heart took a leap into his throat. She was beautiful beyond imagining. Her eyes shown an unearthly beauty and her features were as innocent as any angel’s. She beckoned him over and said, “I’ve been waiting for you, Cody Todds,” she paused and then said, “for a very long time.” Her emollient voice was right on cue and her benign behavior seemed auspicious enough. He walked up to her and she silently instructed him to lay down with his head in her lap. He obeyed.
