The Realization of Mortality

The scariest moment in life is the realization of mortality. It comes in an instant when everything seems fine. Just taking a shower and you see yourself slip and crack your head open. You are going about you daily chores when a scene flashes before your eyes and you see yourself falling down the stairs, paralyzing yourself with no one around to call for help. You are driving along and you feel this sickness in your stomach…a premonition that something bad is about to happen. You just stopped into a store to pick up a carton of milk and someone pulls out a gun…ice water courses through your veins…you are frozen; scared and frozen. You want to scream out; you want to do something to save the life you took for granted.
