Abagail Connor began her journey like everyone else has. She stood still on the sidewalk staring across the dangerous road, cars whizzing by at full speed. There was no choice, she had to proceed across, to live her life, and make it to the end.
As she took her first steps, the cars kept coming, slowing at nothing, as if they could not see her. Moving slowly, one step at a time, she aged as she walked, with every five steps a year went by. The cars seemed to only get faster and faster, missing her by only inches.
Suddenly, one hit. Abagail cried out in pain, as she bled in the street, now looking like an old woman. She was only a few steps away from the end. Her eyes searched the road for a what hit her, the license plate on the car read "Cancer".
Her mind scrambled to the thought, she would not let this stop her from reaching the finish at one-hundred. Resisting the urge to give up, she began to crawl, ignoring both the excruciating pain and the sirens in the distance. Fearing for her life, she hurried. Twenty feet away, ten feet, five. Stretching out, she touched the curb with her fingers, leaving a bloody stain. A smile stretched across Abagails face, her life was now complete. She lay motionless as she waited.
The ambulance swung around the corner, and came to a stop. Death overcame her as she was loaded into the vehicle. When the EMS was finished with its job, the workers entered the location of Abagail Connors final destination into the GPS, heaven.
