A 65-years old cancer patient has seven more days to live. The only regret in her life is that she never really lived one for herself. Eventually, she dies, only having a journal with her. To her surprise, her soul is not the only thing finding its way. The afterlife has more in it than she could imagine. Her search for a new life not only brings a new friend but Death itself.

Hiraeth: The Search of Life

"What are you trying to do exactly?" Valek asked.

"Getting us out. What else does it seem?" I answered while yawning.

I pushed him aside and I slowly turned the knob of my door. I had to open it without making any slightest of sounds. My parents were dead asleep at that time, so it was not going to be much trouble.

I opened the door with the slowest speed I could. The door made creaking noises while opening. The noise was loud enough to be echoed in the whole house.

"You are definitely going to get us killed Lily," Valek whispered to me.

I tip-toed towards my parents room and held my ear close to their door, to listen if there are any voices coming from inside.

"Just as I thought they are dead asleep," I whispered to Valek.

"I said take off your shoes Valek."
