See Ya Later Alligator

"Grandpa" was what greets me as my family came to visit me in my hospital bed. i was grateful for my daughter for bringing the young ones to see me for one last time before i went towards the light. MY cancer was acting up again and made me forget who they were; for a while, when i was about to go to hysteria, i was able to reclaim my mind. My daughter was giving me a look that showed her worry for me and my condition. I told her not to worry, for i will not be here for much longer with teary eyes, she told me not to talk like that, but it was the truth. As i waited for the last visitor to come, i could feel my life force waning. The doctor told my family there could be other ways to save me, but i said no to all of them. i wanted to die while i still had hair on my head and fat in my muscles. Hours passed by until my wife finally came to say her goodbyes. Everyone was surprised because we divorced with horrible terms some 20 years ago with my excessive drinking and my job being so far away that i couldn't be a reliable husband. We split with me, owing thousands in child support and other fees. Time seemed to stop as she walked up towards my bed and kneeled by me. We started talking for a while until i looked at the clock; it was 11:58 PM March 9, 2069; it was almost time to fulfill a promise that i promised by my friends 60 years ago to die at THE day. "Maria, "i called to my daughter, "it's time for me to go" With a heavy tongue, i called for the doctors to unplug my life support. Time seemed to slow down as i struggled to stay awake for just two more minutes. While i was working, i went through all my memories.

Graduation, Marriage, My First Born, My Divorce, and finally, my death at 11:59 PM, i started to say my goodbyes. I told my son to be a strong head of the family told my daughter to be strong. Finally, it hit midnight i jerked up, my heart collapsing on itself, my family in tears i then turned to my wife, "see ya later, alligator." Before she could finish, i already had passed on, and her words laid on deaf ears" in a while, crocodile. "When I came to my senses, I noticed I was in a white box. It had no depth or clear end; it also seemed to be radiating light. "Am I dreaming? Didn't I die ?" Here are the thoughts going through my head as i looked around the room. I started to do some tests to see if this was a dream or if I was dead. I tried to pinch myself but realized I had no hands or, in that case, nobody. I was about to go into a frenzy when I heard a voice that could only belong to an angel. A being with the grace and likenesses of an immortal descended into the white box. "Do not fear, child," it said. "You are here to wait for transport to another world. This may take one earth year to the end of time." As the angel was about to leave, our protagonist asked him how to move, and the angel said, "will it you will move to think it it will appear" with those words, the angel disappeared, leaving me to my vice in this empty void. I spent a unconvincable amount of time playing with space. I soon had my old set up back home with a tv that allowed me to watch my family from this space. It felt like years were passing in minutes, but in fact, I was so focused on TV I didn't realize time was moving at an accelerated time. I was until two beings came into the box. The angel and my wife appeared. I was on my bed when suddenly I woke up in a familiar room with a being clad in white"Richard?!" I called out; he suddenly warped his head towards me, "rose!" He said as he moves forward to give me a hug when the being clad in white called for our attention"your transportation to your new world requires a spirit animal" the being then produced two glowing orbs" since the realm you come from doesn't have magic or spirit beasts you both will have to be your spirit animals." The being then disappeared, leaving a timer in his place. The timer that played a message"you have until this timer runs out to pick an animal to become. If you don't pick in time, you will be given a random animal. I was worried and also excited to become any animal I wanted as I chose my animal, my husband was slowly disappearing.

What better animal could I pick? i quickly picked my animal, an alligator. There strong, physically immortal, and also they make great pirates. As I disappeared, I started to fear where I was going. I didn't see the planet, and I didn't know where I would end up.

when I came to my senses, I saw my would hurtling to a vast planet that was mostly like earth. I though I would have easy sailing until I moved towards the poles.
