This morning I took my daily walk at about three

There was a little nip in the air

I had walked three uneventful blocks

Nobody was outside except for a skinny girl

Judging by her appearance, I figured she was a crack abuser

She walked up to me and said do you want to date

No thanks was my reply to this poor girl with issues galore

I kept on walking until I reached the park and sat down on one of the park benches

As I sat there the girl disappeared from my view

It was just I in my loneliness in the vacant park

A stray dog walked up to where I was sitting and sat down at my feet

He stayed there a minute without moving

Then to my amazement I heard a voice say, do you come here often

I looked around to see where the voice was coming from

Then I realized I was reading the dogs thoughts

I placed my hand on his head to pet him

That is not necessary the voice said

I need no affection the voice also said

I am here for you the voice continued to converse

I spoke aloud to reply, how is this possible I said

Do not concern yourself with that the voice replied

It then said, I have a message for you

The voice continued, you must stop writing of love

But why I said aloud

Because the voice said the end is near for you

Suddenly I felt an extremely sharp pain in my chest

I lost consciousness and awoke in my bed

But I was alive I think

Because I seen a long narrow tunnel with a bright light at the end of it

I could see a tall slim man with long facial hair standing there

He was smiling towards me

Come to me Tony the man said

Beverly awaits you
