 Cures

Tammi laid on her bed, curled up in a ball, clutching her temples, and rocking. Her head pounded to the beat of some internal drum as she watched herself walk through row upon row of giant strawberry plants. She turned around and stared back into the patch when she stumbled and fell into a forest of hanging vanilla pods that were twice her size. 

“Ahh!” she screamed softly, pinching herself in the thigh to wake-up. The bulk of her anxiety came from not knowing if the land of giant food was a dream or reality. More troubling was remembering why she was there and its importance. 

“Do you see the poor girl trembling…? She’s been affected horribly by us transplanting her into our world.”

“I think she’s remembering parts of it… Let’s hope she remembers the information we implanted into her mind.”

“She should after the initial headache subsides.”

“Good! Her people are in danger and she’s the only one who can save them.”

The two enormous females, each with one large eye in the middle of their foreheads turned from the observation window and walked into the strawberry field. The bottoms of their long robes brushed the tops of the plants. They continued to click their tongues in chatter as they strolled toward the castle in the distance.

Tammi finally felt the ache in her head subside. She inhaled deeply and stood alongside of her bed. She reached for the door knob and eased it open. Outside in the hall were burlap bags filled with the giant strawberries and vanilla pods. Her eyes flew open wide and her breathing escaped her, but she remembered. She must get these bags to the lab, where they would be prepared and dumped into the water supply. The strawberries and beans contained an enzyme that would cure her world of the plague that was killing them.

If I Had Ten Days to Prepare for My Final Day on Earth, What Would I Do? 

Cara awoke early, in a room frigid with cold air, enough to see her breath wafting across her face. A note fluttered through the air and landed on her chest. “You have ten days left! Make the most of them…!” 

After screaming, crying, and finding no explanation she took the warning to heart. "What to do first?"

She dressed, grabbed her keys, and flew out the door. The mall hadn’t opened, but Cara paced outside the front door until it did. For the next eight hours she shopped and shopped, picking out the perfect, memorable gift for each person on her Christmas list. She raced home, scoured the attic for the leftover Christmas paper, and wrapped them for next year’s Christmas. Cara stacked every package in among the Christmas decorations, finishing in time to meet her husband at the front door as he came in from work.

The next morning, she woke early, pulled out her video camera, and prepared videos for her children and grandchildren to enjoy on their birthdays. She wished them, ‘Happy Day’, for each year and gave them insight to her life at their ages.

Eight days from the end Cara designated her special treasures to each person she wished to have a remembrance of her.

On days six and seven, she and her husband climbed in the car and rode to their special place, spending two intimate days together.

With five days left. she again was up with the birds, doing the laundry, cleaning, and ironing. She joined her friends for a long lunch where she laughed and cried for most of the afternoon.

Four days out… She spent it cherishing time with her children doing the normal mother/daughter errands, lunch, and gossip they enjoyed throughout their lives.

Three days from the end, The grandchildren spent the day with Cara at the movies. After, they played games, read stories and loved each other.

Two more days… Cara made peace with God.                                                                                 

                                                                                                                                                           

The day before… Cara gathered the people she loved the most, together. They sat by the pool in the bright sunshine while the grandkids swam. They laughed and talked, of the days gone by and the new ones to come. Ending the evening with pizza and lots of hugs.

This day she met her mother and grandmother, again!

Cara rubbed her eyes, yawned and stretched. “Man what a nightmare!” she murmured. “Who wants to plan the final ten days of their life? Maybe that was a warning to live life, enjoy family, friends, and to be thankful to God,” she said out loud. “And whoever is listening, I get the message.”
