...As I drew my last breath, time stopped. Bright light engulfed me and suddenly, I was alone floating somewhere. Mr Bucket was not near me... I was trully alone. Then out of that light, a voice called. It spoke not words, but sang a melody of light and colors, but I understood what it wanted to say to me nevertheless. I saw what had happened and a feeling of sadness overpowered me... Mr. Bucket passed away moments before me and when the angels came to take him Mr. Bucket spoke to them... He told them, that he would give up his eternal rest in heaven if they blew a second wind of life into me. The angels stopped and looked compassionately at each other, and they said... ok.
Now I stood alone in a presence of an entity which will remain forever beyond my grasp, listening to these wonderful sounds and sights. I knew what I had to do... New life doesn't come without a price and I knew what I had to do to pay mine. I awoke in my boat just moments before a powerful thunder bolt struck our wall. Our wall was wrecked and from the other side came foul demons, one with horns, one without face, one wearing a bear and one green as a moss and hairy like a sheep. I knew they came for me. Demons don't like when we cheat death and they lunged at me with their claws and teeth. I was ready for them! I clenched in my hand an axe of stoned stone and ripped my rags off. The battle was glorious! And after nearly a lifetime of bloody fighting, I stood victorious over the puddles of crusted blood. "This is for Mr. Bucket!!!" I shouted. I sat on my chair and when i caught my breath I went through the hole in the wall to the river to wash myself from blood and chopped demon-meat. As I held the water in my hands, I remembered Mr Bucket and knew that even if I am alive again, I would never feel alive without Mr. Bucket. And I wept.
