Is this cheating death? Prose by Julsijuls If there is one thing i fear to hear, that is the soft tinkling of chimes that only who is near their death could hear. In my life, i've heard it 5 times, but i am still alive. others have only heard the chimes once, and the next moment they're no more. am i cheating death? am i being saved? what is happening is beyond my wits. i do not know if i should be thankful or if i should be afraid. i do not want to hear the tinkling of the chimes again if i'll just live another second after hearing it. but i know, someone is perched on a tree, or flying over hills, i know that someone is watching me. and that death will come to me, as soon as the sixth chime rings. and when i die, it won't be swift. it will be six times as painful, six times as slow, and it would feel as if i wil not die at all. it would seem as if i'll live with my entrails hanging out. and so, i do not want to hear the chimes no more.
