SPIRITED AWAY
MAY, 2023
As the man lay still, his body motionless and his breath faint, it was as if his spirit had suddenly decided to escape the confines of his physical form. With a sudden burst of energy, it seemed to burst forth from his chest, soaring upwards towards the heavens. The air around him shimmered with a radiant light, as if the very fabric of reality was being torn apart. His spirit moved with a grace and fluidity that was impossible for his physical body to achieve, as it danced and twirled in the open air. It was as if he had been reborn, freed from the limitations of his earthly body. For a moment, the world seemed to stand still, as if in awe of the man’s spirit, before it finally began to fade away, leaving behind nothing but a faint, ethereal glow. As the light faded, the man’s body stirred, and he slowly opened his eyes, as if awakening from a deep and profound sleep. Though he had returned to the mortal realm, he knew that his spirit had tasted true freedom, and that he would never forget the experience.
