Great Beyond


Harper wore a brave face to cover the pain she feels inside. It started with an accident while travelling. A malfunction killed Ty’s wife and children. He was lost. He wanted to be closer to his now lost wife. He was able to scrounge a DNA sample and bring it to a TG Incorporated office. They confirmed they could turn him into a carbon copy of his deceased wife, Harper.

He still felt empty. He struggled every moment of every day to smile. No one knew how much he hurt; how lost he was. He sees his wife’s face in the mirror, but she is still gone. The emptiness grows each day and is no longer controllable. Harper knows his wife is a sexy woman and he should move on with his life, finding a good man and settling down. It didn’t matter; he knew he would be unhappy.

At the family reunion he posed for one last picture. Harper went home that night and laid on the couch. She took the pills, washing them down with water. Soon sleep overcame her. It was the one thing she always craved. Sleep eluded her, but not tonight. She drifted off to the Great Beyond. Before she died she dreamed of seeing his wife again, holding her warm beautiful body. And then Ty and Harper were no more.
