I watched her as she lay down on the sickbed struggling to stay stable and healthy among the living. I honestly felt sympathy for her because I could go through her mind. Her weary eyes say it all, that moment she only "wished" for a miracle or slightest opportunity to spit out what has been in her mind for so long but nay death came at its own convenient time!
I was so driven by thoughts as I embark on a short trip to deliver products to some customers on Saturday, my dispatch rider was unable to carry out the task simply because the destination for pickup is far, so I took it upon myself to go since this product belongs to my good friend, at least I could get to meet her again, while on transit I just thought about life and death in all perspective area!
Life is Endless, Life is Exotic, Life is Classic, Life is Unique, Life is Precious, and Life is so Beautiful, Indeed it's!! From the look of things in nature, when you look at a little child that's exuberant with little or no knowledge about life to a teenager who feels they have come to a stage to explore life and opportunity down to semi-adults who must have been tied up to family affairs providing basic amenities to run a home finally to an adult who by now have lived their individual lives to the fullest of it and waiting to hold their grandchildren.

That is the essence of life. Its beauty lies in how things evolve around humanity. Witnessing death is also part of it, leaving behind the memories and moments of such deceased individuals for friends and family to reflect on, this tragic moment will make one realize that each moment we are living or lived in should be cherished.
I have seen folks lose friends, family even loved ones even me myself too, every one of us has seen or experienced this death, some people knew death is coming for them, some even act strangely and preparing for their last moments on earth, most don't even know when and how I would say it's better I don't know than to know and live my life in anxiety but still one needs to make death part of his/her plans and that leads me to ask...Can you predict your death?...
I adjusted myself properly so the incoming passenger would be comfortable when that question popped up in my mind, I breathed heavily and paused for a while looking at an incoming big trailer, my heart skipped immediately I became tensed.
I asked myself ...what if this trailer happens to have a collision with our vehicle, what would be my state of condition?... dead, alive, or sustaining an injury ...

Some of the deceased souls I watched on social media platforms like Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and of course the green app (WhatsApp), makes me go into their life more like being in their shoes, they must have dreams they were so sure that was going to be achieved sooner or later, at least some unfinished business, activity or a scheduled appointment, I can say a family that looks up to them for care and support in terms of financial assistance and otherwise and lot more, I breathed heavily again! For instance…

A lady who was using her mobile phone's light to see while cooking at night, her phone rang during the process and boom she caught fire instantly, her neighbor heard her scream, came to her aid and took her to the hospital. The victim was trembling with fear and dealing with unbearable pains which were severe burns and after a few hours or minutes she gave up the ghost.
This incident reminded me of how reckless I was then. I did this a lot and I wasn't harmed at all, could this be GOD protecting me or what? But now I know this isn't right. I have never attempted it again! We all need to be extremely careful though!
I alighted from the bus because I have gotten to my destination, I exclaimed quietly ...ATLAS, we are nothing!
