The weather on Tuesday was surprisingly nice.It had been rainy and cloudy for several days before,but it cleared up just today.
I guessed that even God thought that our divorce was the right thing to do,and this was God's way of encouraging me,I thought.
So when that 18 wheeler came right at me crashed into me head-on,I felt that God was probably playing a cruel joke on me.
After the violent impact,there was a sharp pain in my internal organs.Everything around me was spinning,and my consciousness gradually faded.Just before fainting,I suddenly thought that I had an appointment with Ethan for our divorce,and if I was late,he would probably think that I was playing tricks again.Then I went completely out.
When I opened my eyes again,I found myself on the very road where the accident happened.I saw people gathering around my car.Some were screaming,and some were talking among themselves.I also saw"myself"in the car that was almost completely smashed.I tried to call out to the crowd,to tell them that I was there,but no one noticed me.
"Amelia,right?"
Hearing the voice,I turned around.In front of me was a man dressed in black.He was holding a notebook and recording something while saying to me,"Amelia,twenty-five years old,died in a traffic accident.I'm here to guide you to leave.If you're ready,we can set off."
So I was dead.Just when I had made up my mind to get a divorce and start a new life,I died.
"Can I say that I'm not ready?"After choosing my words carefully,I said to this angel figure,"I was supposed to get a divorce today,but I died on the way.My cold-blooded husband is probably cursing me at court right now for standing him up.I didn't even have time to feed my pet hamster at home before I left,and I won't be able to see my best friend get married the day after tomorrow..."
As I listed these things one by one,I realized that there were so many regrets in my life,so many things left undone.I was about to continue when angel interrupted me.
"I only have the power to give you ten more days.During these ten days,you can exist on earth in the form of a soul,but you won't be able to do anything,and no one will be able to see you,"the angel said.
"Regret is the norm on earth.Everyone has countless regrets before they leave,but according to the rules of heaven,we can only make an exception for you for a maximum of ten days,then I will come to pick you up."After saying this,he disappeared in front of me.
My mind still hadn't recovered from the shock of the car accident,and the short ten days mentioned by the angel had left me with no time to think about other things.After a moment,I decided to go to thecourt first.Even though Ethan couldn't see me,I still wanted to know if he had kept the appointment.
Becoming a soul,in simple words, was being an apparition.The advantage of being an apparition was probably that I wouldn't have any physical sensations,and I could almost float to wherever I wanted in an instant.I quickly arrived at the court.There seemed to be a lot of people there today,but I could still recognize Ethan among the many figures at a glance.
I could recognize Ethan at a glance not because he was special to me,but because Ethan had so outstanding an appearance and temperament that made it hard not to notice him.
I floated next to a passerby who was on his phone and took a look at the time on it.It was already ten twenty,twenty minutes after our appointed time.I then floated next to Ethan.His brows were furrowed,and he was dialing my number on his phone,but no one answered.
I'm right beside you,of course no one will answer,I thought to myself.
Once again without getting a response,Ethan's expression showed some annoyance.He was probably scolding me in his heart.The next moment,his phone rang.I leaned over to take a look,and it was Sylvia.
