Crossing the Bar

"Twenty-eight, twenty-nine, thirty…" The counting is the only sound she hears as her ordinary day takes an unexpected turn. She never sees it coming, yet she knows one day this moment will arrive. It is here on this bridge where her story began, and it is here where these strangers fight to save her. Her life flashes before her as she nears the doorway of eternity. Rose struggles with who she is and those that she meets from beyond the grave-families with unending love, secrets of sin and shame, selfishness, sadness, joy, anger and hope all bundled into the longest ten minutes of her life, the last ten minutes of her life as she finds herself crossing the bar.
