Bucket List

PHOTO PROMPT © Rowena Curtin


They say the moment when the soul leaves the body the last thing the conscious mind experiences is a dazzling light. Words from survivors of near death experience, as no one has actually died and written about it. 

So this is death he thinks. Gone before experiencing life in all its glory, still to experience love and a broken heart. To travel and see the world. 

 The sharp stabbing pain at the base of his spine, is that the kundalini leaving his body? 

 Oye! Wake up you drunk, the guard gives him a kick to the base of his back.

  10. Oh dear! I wonder if this will give him pause for thought? I said: 'never again' several times as a youngster before I got the hang of it.
