"Am I dead?" I asked the little girl and she smiled slipping her hand into mine.

"Yes, your life as Mary is over, but there are plans for you. First lets walk in your forest because I know that's what you wanted to do most of all before you move on." I smiled so happily my soul singing with the beauty of it.

"Are you death? Are you an Angel?" I asked the little girl and she nodded.

"I am both. I knew you were scared of dying, so I came to you as a little girl because I knew then you wouldn't be afraid to come with me. You lived a good life Mary, a kind life; and although it has ended far too young you will have a chance to live again." I felt tears welling in my eyes and she shook her head.

"No tears sweet Mary. This is a joyful passing you're coming home now." And I nodded as we walked off together through the thick forest of trees leaving behind my useless body sleeping forever beneath the oak tree that I loved so much in life.
