A Chance I Never Saw Coming

I awakened… but nothing was the way I remembered it.

There was no pain.
No noise.
No rush.

Only a strange kind of peace… and something inside me beginning to change.

I tried to hold on to the life I once knew.

But it no longer fit.

And then I understood.

This was not about what I had lost…

but about what stood before me.

Because there is something no one else can do for me.

Choose.

And this time…

I knew my decision would change everything.
