The Mind Library

I lied in my hospital bed staring at the wall in front of me. I felt a hand grab my hand and I turned to face my brother Mikey. He had a tear running down his old wrinkly face. I hate to see him cry. He knows it’s time for me to go.
“You know you can be with Frank now right.” He said shakily. I squeezed his hand comforting. Frank was my husband who past 5 years ago. My eyes grown heaver and my breathing started to slow down a bit more. I quickly turn to Mikey who was now in complete tears. Yes even 79 year olds still cry.
“Mikey you take care now okay. I love you. I could never ask for a better kid brother.” I said slowly. He nods yes.
“I love you too Gee. You’re the best brother I ever had.” He whispered. My eyes grown heaver and heaver. Once I closed them there was a big flash of light.
I was in a completely white room that looked like I went on forever. My hair was black again like I had when I was younger. My skin was smooth and I felt well young again. I looked around confused about where I was and what am I supposed to do. I started to walk aimlessly around looking for any sight of anything different. The only thing that wasn’t white was my clothes which were completely black.
Soon the room changed. I felt like I was spinning. Soon it stopped and I was in a library. Two walls were filled with books and the other two were a dark red color. In the middle of the room there were two chairs and a small table with two coffee mugs. I started to pace the room and looking at the books. They didn’t have names on many of their spins. Some looked old and some looked almost new. I picked up a random book and opened it. Soon the room was white again. I start to panic. What the hell is going on.
“Gerard hurry up you’re going to be late for school.” Screamed a voice. Soon I was in my bed room in the basement again.
“I’m up I’m up!” I screamed back. I didn’t mean to say that. The book in my hands fades and my clothes change into boxers and an old tee shirt.
-----Memory-----
I groaned and rolled out of bed. I don’t want to go to school. The learning part was fine it’s the faggots that go there. I slid on an old pair of skinny jeans and a plain black shirt. I zipped up my combat boots while trying to fix my hair. Quickly made my bed and ran upstairs tripping on a step. Mikey was in the kitchen gripping a cup of coffee taking small sips. He was wearing his favorite Dawn of the Dead hoodie and his good old beanie also jeans and converse. Regular Mikey’s attire.
“What’s up baby brother.” I said pouring myself a cup
“I told you not to call me that. I’m 15 can you please call me something else.” He said. I thought for a while.
“Fine you’re not a baby any more. So, how’s my kid brother.” I ask.
“That does- whatever.” He sighed in defeat and took a sip of coffee. I smirk and finished my coffee. Walked over to the dishwasher and put it away.
“You’re always going to be a baby to me.” I said giving him a hug. He let out an annoyed sigh and hugged back.
“Come on Gee were going to be late.” He said letting go of me and grabbed both of our book bags. We walked to my car (which I work long hours to get) and drove to school blasting Iron Maiden. This is a morning tradition for us. It always brightens my day. I like seeing Mikey head bob to the song felling proud. I was the reason he got into them.
Mikey is pretty much my closes friend and we’ll be friends forever. Well were brothers so we sort of had to stick together. Our parents are always working or doing something so we became close.
Soon everything turned white and I was back in the library again.
----End of memory-----
I stood in the middle of the library in shock. Did I just relive the day I gave Mikey the Kid brother name. What a weird memory to relive. I walked over to one of the chairs and sat down. I put my head in my hands. After a while I sat up and there was a small note on the table. I slowly grabbed it.
‘Dear Gerard,
You might be wondering where you are and what’s going on. Well you might know that you’re dead right. When you die you have to relive every important moment that happen in your life. Weird right. Each book has a different memory but they don’t have a title so you don’t know what you’re going to get. There also not in order so at one point you’ll be in high school and the next you’re in the band. Once you went through all of the books you’ll be sent into heaven were we can be together with the others forever. I’ll see you soon Gee. I love you. I hope I answered any questions.
Love,
Frank.’
