IN & OUT OF LIFE - Chapter 114 - The dying man (Anna)

THE DYING MAN (Anna) ~ 1327-1350

I'm in a small room with a high ceiling. I feel safe here. I take care of simple household tasks like warming the milk and cleaning out the chamber pot. In my spare time, I continue on the weaving loom by the wall, as I'm doing now. "Anna" the old man groans from his bed. I turn my head towards him and smile. 'Come here, my little (one)' he says, putting out his hand. I get up and go to him. My dress feels soft and warm. He has a bald patch on the left side of his head, and liver spots in his face as well as a large birth mark near his right cheekbone. I'm not to touch him physically, so I put my hand on the blue fabric over his left shoulder. 'Help me' he whispers laboriously. I feel tears well up in my eyes. I grab his left hand, which he's still holding up, and place it over his thigh. I then walk around the end of the bed to his other side, and place a pillow by his back in order to help him turn to his left side. He moans from the pain. "Anna!" he says, a bit louder now, 'Come here.' I go back to his left side. He looks at me for a moment, and then says: 'Goodbye.' Within seconds, he goes completely silent. His mouth is open and there is no more sign of him breathing. I look at the weaving loom and think: Well, there's no point in finishing that project anymore. I'll have to call for the people that take away dead bodies. After that, I'll empty the place and clean it so a new family can come live here. And then I'll be on my way to help in another household. It would be nice if it was a household with children and if I could also do some sewing. A large house would be nice so I don't get bored, one where I can go up and down stairs and do things outdoors, maybe even run errands.

Q: How old are you?

Anna: Fifteen.

Fragment of Anna's life have been mentioned in previous book though her life has not been covered extensively. She died of pestilence, aged twenty three, having succumbed to the illness herself after burying her brother who had already suffered the same fate.

PAST LIFE DIARY 1 - Story 15 - The damn elevator! (Jeremy)

  THE DAMN ELEVATOR! (Jeremy) I ' m now inside the elevator itself . It ' s working again after we fixed it. I ' m here with my two coworkers, James Cox and Trudy. We ' re going down. The n, the elevator stops. I ' m worried Trudy ' s going to start panic king again. He starts to scream. He has a really high-pitched voice. I ' d tell him to keep calm so he doesn ' t take in too much oxygen in this small space, but I ' m afraid that, if I mention that, it would cause him to panic even more. We try to call out, but no one ' s responding. They ' ve all gone home already at the end of the workday. The light goes out now too. I ' m careful about what I say because I don ' t want to trigger Trudy even more. I ' m angry. James tells me to calm down. I tell him to just let me be, and complain that it ' s hot. Not long after, the light goes back on and we somehow get the elevator doors to slide open a little, but it ...
