Guerras Perdidas_part 3

What do you do when you've lost the war?
What's left when there's nothing to do?
When the fight is over and you've lost, how do you say goodbye?

     The days went by like candles burning all night which meant they passed too quickly.  Samantha had gotten around to writing a list, a kick-the-bucket list as they called it, because it amused her not because she had any expectations of doing any of those things.  "They were pretty amazing things I think and a lot of them would have taken a lifetime to do or maybe that's just my excuse for not having done them, you know?" she told her teddy bear.   As childish as that might sound its how lonely she'd gotten.  Death alienated her.  She wondered if she gave off the miasma of a rotting corpse, if her spirit was fleeing her body and she was rotting away evefn now as she roamed the halls of her school, and the streets of her city, and the halls of her house.

"I'm not dead, yet," she wanted to cry.  "I'm fine with dying why can't everyone else be fine with it, too?"

The days went by like candles burning all night.

She looked at her list:

10. Kiss Taylor
     9.  Open a Cafe
     8.  Write a book, because everyone wants to
     7.  Go on a cruise
     6.  Go to a rave
     5.  Learn to dance the tango
     4.  Marry and have children
     3.  Visit the south of France with someone I love ♥
     2.  Get a cat
     1.  Go to Paris, France

It was the ten most important things in her life.  Her very short life it would now seem.  God but she couldn't stop thinking about how short her life was going to be.

Will EDIT later, I guess ... *sighs*   Minor edit, with the list ... I don't think it's a good list, suggestions welcome.
