You never focus on how important life is until it’s challenged. Until that fear of losing it comes right up close to your face and gently whispers “Boo…”. Death could just be round the corner in the form of some deadly disease, a mode of transport that you didn’t see coming, a mad axeman out on a killing spree or just from your mad thoughts.
Every single one of them had been planning the perfect future. The perfect life they knew or were desperate to lead.
Hayley was going to get married, have children and be the best at whatever career she chose. She wanted to do Charity work. Meet David Duchovny. It was all in the game plan.
Lily was going to be a lawyer, a pretty lawyer known for her skills. She wouldn’t become a stereotypical female lawyer who does man things and wear man clothes because it’s the only way to be respected. She was going to break in by being the best she could be.
Ellie was going to be a teacher, become famous for doing something so surreal from what people saw her as. Her friends were all saying she’d become some silly, brainless WAG. She was determined to be a WAG with brains, fashion and independence.
Carrie was going to be in drama therapy. Making people realise that their life wasn’t all that bad. She was going to marry someone eventually, maybe it was going to be Dwayne but who cared?
Roxie was going to be on stage. A performer. Dancing, singing, Acting. You name it. She was going to do it! It was her ultimate dream to see her name in lights!
Darius was going to be a plastic surgeon. Meet the partner of his dreams. Have a civil partnership with this guy and just still be a great friend, a great laugh. Now look at him. Lying dead on a cold autopsy table. Medical Examiners poking around in his dead body determined to find any scrap of evidence to why he was gone.
Keeley wanted to be in cartoons. Draw comics that children would be addicted too… Ones with amazing graphics, keen storylines that had that dreadful cliffhanger that would make you be determined to go out and buy the next copy. Now she was lying in a box, her parents waiting to bury her.
Katie had dreams of being a psychologist. Studying the mind and soul. It had intrigued her, pulled her in. Now she was lying in a coffin, six feet under. Her dreams no longer being thought.
Jessica hadn’t had many dreams. They’d changed so often. Film director, Teacher, Scientist. All beautiful, amazing prospects. None were going to happen because her skin tissue had already started to decompose, turn green and start to smell bad. Worms were starting to eat away at those dreams.
Life is a short thing. A peculiar thing. You don’t know what was going to come round the corner. Each one had beautiful dreams, desires that only themselves knew. However, did they really know if they were going to ever see them through?

The girl sighed as she hitched her dancing bag further up her shoulder, her head starting to ache as it always did after an extensive work out in the dance studio. Pain was gain in her eyes and she knew that it was going to all be good in the end. She sighed as she headed towards the bus stop, her eyes getting heavier but she knew that in approximately thirty minutes she could be home and in the shower. That felt like a happy thought.
A hand covered her mouth and she struggled. She’d not heard anyone moving behind her. She tried to scream but knew that nothing would help. “Shush. Don’t struggle. Your theatrical entrance will be upon us soon…”
