You Will Never Believe What Happens After You Die

It was a dark and stormy night. The rain was poured on the road then turned to small pellets of ice pelting my car. I was scared. My tires were practically bald. I had been needing new ones for months, but just didn't have the funds to cover it. My car slid this way and that down the highway. I was going as as slowly as I could, trying to be careful. Then.. boom. Everything slowed down. It was like, in the movies, when everything is in slow motion. I heard the sound of my car hitting something, I could feel my body being forced forward and the impact of the steering wheel as my head hit it, hard. 

Then something strange happened, it no longer felt like I was in my body. I was watching this happen from the outside of my body. I could see the lifeless vessel laying there. I didn't know what to do. I wasn't able to really do anything besides stare at what once had been me. I started to get confused. "I'm not in my body any more, now what?" As if in answer to my question, everything went black. 

When I woke up, I was encased in glass. I feared that I was back in my body at my own funeral and was about to be buried alive. I started yelling and hitting the glass with hands. "Help! Let me out of here." I yelled. Then, I stopped, because I noticed my hands. They were not the peach color they were before. They were blue and the fingers were longer. My eyes went wide. "What is going on?" I asked myself, as I continued to marvel at my hands. Just then, a blue alien being of some sort came and looked at me through the glass. From what I could tell, it was a female. She had a much bigger head then I was used to and big dark almond shaped eyes, and she was blue, like my hands. She looked confused. 

I assumed her confusion was because of my freak out moment a second ago, so I just looked at her calmly and waited to see what would happen. She smiled and opened the glass case. 

"Welcome back Alayua" She said, warmly. 

"Uh, Thank you." I said. Trying not to seem confused. 

"You will be happy to hear that your mission was successful. Please be aware that it may take a while to re-assimilate to life here on the ship. You've been away for quite some time and it may take time to get used to your body again. I'm sure you are eager to see your family, but we will need to run a few tests before we can release you." She waited for a response as I stared at her blankly. 

"Oh, uh, yes, that is fine." 

"Wonderful."

She started by taking my blood with a strange looking device I had never seen before. It didn't even hurt! Then she placed a white sticker on my chest that looked like it had a white crystal attached to it. She had me run on what looked like a high tech treadmill. I was slow at first, my body felt stiff, but as I kept moving I could feel my muscles start to loosen. I was wearing what looked like a white suit. It formed to my body and was comfortable. The material was very soft, but strong. It moved with my body easily. I was wearing what looked like some sort of form fitting boot on my feet. My body, besides being blue, seemed very similar to my human body. I had breasts, a stomach, and two legs. 

"Whoa! Are you alright?" She came over to me, concerned. I had gotten so involved in staring at my new body that I almost tripped over my own legs. 

"Yes, I'm fine." I smiled at her. 

Still looking concerned she had me continue, but kept a close eye on me after that. I made sure I didn't have any more slip ups. I felt more energetic in this body. I felt like I could just keep running and never run out of energy. I struggled with athleticism in my old body. I never wanted to workout much, let alone run. But this felt nice. Especially since it was helping me to become looser and release all the tension that seemed to be in my muscles when I woke up. 

She had me continue for a while longer and then removed the crystal from my chest. Then she had me sit in a chair and placed two blue crystals on my temples. She placed her hands over the crystals on either side of my head and closed her eyes. As she did this memories from my time on earth flowed back to me. I could see my husband and I having a picnic by a river. He kissed my cheek. We ate cheese and wine and sandwiches. It was a beautiful day. We were so in love. Then I saw him in the car next to me during the crash. I could see him crying over my dead body. This brought tears to my eyes. 

"It's alright. We will integrate these memories so that they don't cause you so much pain. They will soon disappear from your mind completely. Once that happens they will no longer be able to effect you and you can live your life as if you never had that awful mission on Earth. Just give it time. If at any time these are effecting your life negatively or they don't disappear on their own, we can look into removing them for you, but we try to avoid that when we can."

Not knowing what to say in response to this without causing her more concern, I just nodded. She handed me a soft cloth to wipe away the tears and then said that I could go and see my family now. She arranged for an escort to take me to them.
