Death Is Alive!

Total horror had gripped Matt's body like nothing he had ever felt. At that very moment the only thing he knew for sure was that his lungs were full with fear and his eyes overflowing with the tears of sorrow. This was just no regular day after all this was suppose to be his wedding day. And yet he stood in the mist of the room now packed with people waiting for someone to say something. It would fall on him of course being the one everyone was looking at and being it was his wedding. Here goes nothing of what am I saying he thought here goes my world, my life my dreams as he slowly walked to the front of the church to speak to the crowd. Folks my I have your attention please!

A sudden mummer went over the church as if they had an idea. Perhaps some thought she had ran of on Matt others were thinking even other things that Matt could not bear to think of himself at that moment.

Please folks he said again this time with more of a tone that the crowd came to a quite still.

I am sorry you came all this way but there is not going to be a wedding today. I have just learned that a few moments ago that my bride was killed by a drunk driver...we thank you for waiting and coming...and with that Matt broke down nobody really knows when he became the person he is today but we all recall the day he became that person.

Matt is now somewhat of a loner not wanting anyone or anything and who can blame him after the life he had with the women of his dreams only to have them all taken away in a moment everything was planned out for the two of them and now it is a one person life.

Until Tina walks into Matt's life and now he can't think once again as he is caught between his love for the one he lost and the one he has just found and the emotions he has yet to deal with what will he do?

Matt leans into this with all his might and force only to find out that life has surprise's of her own sometimes. Death is in fact alive if you look hard enough!
