[ WP ] You are drawing your final breathes , dying from a disease that has taken you far too young and far too quickly . Just as you are about to pass , an apparition appears before you and offers you five extra years of perfect health to spend as you see fit . But there is a catch ...

I tried to tighten my hands around the sheets that covered my body in the hospital bed with the remaining strenght i had as i breathed softly. I turned my head to the window to my right and i felt uneasy, not because i was going to die, but because i always thought that the world around me would stop when i reached my final hours, i thought that every bird would stop moving, the people would stop their daily routines, but it was n't like that. People died every day and the world kept going, but this time was my turn. 
 
 I mean, the first months after being diagnosed was a surreal experience. In those days i was still able to walk and i used to jog around the park waiting for a sign, something that made me feel that i mattered, that i was special and that it was impossible for me to die just like that. One day i was eating chinese with Joanne and the next one i was recieving chemo. 
 
 It was getting harder to draw breath and my fingers were already slipping through the fabric when i noticed a man staring out of the same window i was just seconds before. 
''Too young to die, are n't ya? I've seen many men like you, son. Men who dreamed of greatness and were taken from life too fuckin' soon.'' 
 His beard was black with streams of silver that fell down to his black coat, i remember it just like that. 
''I ai n't no talking guy i'll tell you that, so let's go straight to the point. I can give you another chance at life. 5 years, no more, no less. 5 full years of perfect health to do whatever you god damn please to do.'' 
 He turned around from the window as he walked next to my bed and he stared into my dying eyes, as if already knowing my answer. 
 
''But, there's a catch. After you're done with them 5 years, you'll have to come with me.'' The grin on his face was barely noticeable and i knew what he meant as the words faded into the small room in which i was barely alive. 
 Joanne, i missed her already. Her smile was the brightest star and her eyes the finest diamonds. I still could picture her broken spirit and those diamonds about to crack. I missed her so much already. 
 
''That's my boy, see you around and try not to get killed before those 5 years'' 
 I clenched the sheets with my fist and got myself up that bed.
