Preface
"Please, I'm sorry. I just need one last chance. I'll do anything." The man on the throne looked at me and i winced back. I had no right to order Him around. I was the one who took my life, not Him. He looks at me with pity and sighs. "I know that you are sorry. I can see and feel that. I will give you one last chance. You will go back to Earth and be Zie Raines' protector." I stare at Him in shock. Zie Raine is my worst enemy in our small hick town. There is no way she will let me watch over her. At this point though, it's either watch over the biggest bitch or go to Hell. I'm not completely sure which is worse. "I'll do it. Thank you Father." I kneel and the next thing I know I'm in the hospital bed with everyone I know crowding around crying. This is not going to be easy. Is all I can think as I look around at the tear streaked faces. Finally someone notices me and shouts for a doctor. The doctor looks ridiculous as he checks my pulse and heart, searching for any sign that I'm dead. "I'm alive. What happened?" I say playing along. For some reason I felt that if I said that I saw God, I'd be placed in an institution or something. I did't want to take any chances of not succeeding at my one job. My one reason for being alive. "You're a miracle son. That is the only way I can explain it." The doctor shakes his head and pulls my parents aside to talk with them. By the look on their faces, the doctor is telling them to keep close watch. I will never get another second alone. Maybe Hell would have been better...
