An execution by cancer

a short story about a womans death

As she lays there with nothing but her thoughts , Kathleen cried missing her life. She hated being sick ,she could not stand it any more. she missed holding him.....the love of her life. She hated that her children put her in that horrid torture chamber of a hospital. Every breath she took made her feel sick to her stomach. Every breath she took was a breath wasted not telling her grandchildren she loved them.Every breath was one closer to her demise. "WHY GOD?!,,,,,WHY ME?!.......WHY DID GIVE ME THIS WRETCHED ILLNESS?!" She screamed at the top of her lungs,praying that some miracle would happen and suddenly she wouldn't be ill,but nothing happened.No one heard her scream.No one heard her cry. As soon as she closed her eyes she felt a tap on her shoulder.She procrastinated when opening her eyes, but as soon as they finally opened that last centimeter she gasped. Stunned at what she saw she could not help but to think it was not true, that it was merely a dream or a fantasy. How could  it not be. He had been dead for years. She stumbled over her voice trying to get the word out" rrr....rrri......rrrriiccch....riiccchiiarrdd!" 
 He gently replied " come my love we have some pearly gates to walk through and streets of gold to pace ....... Kathleen Rosa we are going to heaven"
      Two minutes later the only sound you could hear was the weeping of four siblings and the flat line tone of a heart monitor,and all you saw was the blood pouring out of her open wrists.
