Hello readers!
Yes...it's been a long time and yes....I apologize! But I'm back! Hope you like this one....and the inspiration for this one...take a guess! A clue! It's inspired from a Hollywood movie I refuse to watch and people around me never quit talking about!

**************************************
I was failing my arms, screaming my guts off, gravity was trying to do it's job but couldn't as my seat had strapped me to it. No matter what direction I was being pulled at, I would not budge from my seat...
Others were screaming too..some used profanity while some prayed. Some were shouting at the top of their voice, while some were deathly silent. The world was Topsy Turvy, the outcome uncertain...
Jus for a moment...I felt so alive....at the cusp of life and death....I felt more alive than I had ever felt before...
My whole life flashed before my eyes ..
I felt regret....was my life so mundane that I could summarize it in a moment..
Was a instant all it took for me to rewind and replay my life? That is sad.
Is this how my trivial life ends? In regret? Feeling Unsatisfied? being Incomplete?
My sense of self pity was so intense, I felt something shift...an experience totally new, a feeling I was not familiar with....
I'm standing at the entrance of my school...
Wait.... what?! Wasn't I just... dying?!
What was that feeling? What had shifted??
It finally clicked....I had time travelled ....to the past! I had been given a second chance.
I took this opportunity as a God sent and began re-living my life in my terms!
I was making the most of it ..of what? My life!!! I pursued my passion.... designing. I went ahead and proposed to my crush! I gave back when I was disrespected, I loved with abandon... I lived!
And when the dreaded day came nearer and nearer...I decided to do something so different so far apart, it would change my fate...
So instead of the plane that I had to take for an event I was invited to, I decided to stay put in my place, on the ground. That's when my friends suggested an amusement park..
An innocent enough suggestion...
I was failing my arms, screaming my guts off, gravity was trying to do it's job but couldn't as my seat had strapped me to it. No matter what direction I was being pulled at, I would not budge from my seat...
I met my fate in the end. Could not escape it. A plane, an amusement park ride. Fate had tied them up together to deliver my Providence.
I stopped screaming and went silent as I thanked God for the second chance given to me..so that I could relive my life in my terms. I was ready to let go now....

I dont know if the recent mishap at your fave amusement park triggered you to write this story but i am glad it did. Beautifully written especially the inference to back to school 17 again bewilderment and all the things we would have done differently had we been given the gift of a second chance..loved it��
Live a life without regrets! Well written Medu! Good one! 👍
I was feeling like am reading a poem rather a story. It's rhythmic and well narrated. 😍😍😍. Great Noona 👏👏👏.
A story title, that pays tribute to One Republic, for sure, I knew I was going to like it.
The second chance, was it really a second chance, or was it the mind playing tricks at the end of the first life. This leaves me wondering.
Brilliantly written!!
What more can we ask for.. Drama, Profanity (Literally) & Amusement Parks.. All of it, well packaged and crisp.
5 Stars , As always..
Very well written take on 'what is' and 'what should have been'.. Makes you wonder if we have lived our lives the way we wanted..
Very thought provoking..����
