Читать книгу The Road To Hell - Jackie Kessler - Страница 9

Whoever said you see your life flash before your eyes when you die was full of crap. You don’t see your entire life. Just the most important parts.

Or, in my case, just the most recent parts.

As I die now, feeling strong arms holding me tight, hearing a voice whisper that it’s okay, my mind plays back the events that set me on the road to Hell, good intentions and all. Faces flash behind my closed eyes, almost too fast to follow—the incubus’s fang-filled grin, the Erinyes hissing with reptilian fury, the angel crying fat, salty tears. My love, my White Knight, a name on his lips that isn’t mine.

Nice to know there’s a “rewind” button that comes with life. If only there were an “erase” button for the really sucky parts…

Darkness pulls me down, my heart slows, stops…and once again, I’m in Spice.
