The Story of Thomas Emerson

                             

     I was covered in light. Was it Hollywood, full of cameras? No. Not this time. It was a hospital. I was in a surgery room. I bet you expected that. But let me tell you what happened...

     It was Tuesday. I was standing in line, waiting to get my drink at the new pub in town.

     "What the hell are you wearing?!" I heard behind me. A sharp voice that seemed way too familiar for that many strangers.

     "What are you doing here?" I ask Helen, as I turn around.

     "I brought the videotape you asked for", she answered. "He knew he was about to die."

     "What are you talking about? Did he say that?" I continue to ask. "And how did you find me?" I keep saying. 

     "We don't have time for that. The funeral starts soon. I don't want to see you drunk or wearing that", she says.

     "Fine. But I first have to see it", I add.

     I start watching the videotape and I see... her. Standing right there, threatening the life of Thomas if he wasn't about to leave the love of his life, Amanda. She was crazy. Lilith was crazy.
