Chapter I: Back Again, And Something Else Too...

Well, everything began when I was 8 years old. One day I came back home and suddenly I passed away, when I woke up, I was at the hospital, my parents were there, they were crying... I was having a headache at the moment. I turned around and saw a doctor. He walk towards to me, very slowly. I was scared, that face... it looked like a ghost... he touched my arm and I felt his cold fingers.
Then, he said something, I knew what it meant, but I just didn´t fully understood the magnitude of his words.
"I am afraid to tell you little Zack... that you have cancer."
Immediately I understood why my parents were crying. He explained the details to my parents, I heard the entire conversation, but I can´t remember it.
The tumor was on my left lung. The doctor said it was a very complicated surgery, but it had to be done quickly, or otherwise, the other lung would be compromised, and probably more...
The weeks passed as I was getting prepared for the surgery. I had the quimio done, I lost all my hair, that sucked. I met dozens of kids who had cancer as well, it´s a very strong image now that I think about it...
The day arrived, I was with my family, they were all smiling and crying at the same time. The nurses came to take me to the Surgery Room, I said goodbye to my family, and couldn´t avoid to hug my mother and cry and scream. I was so afraid... so far away from the reality... I felt asleep later on, and they prepare me for it...
Then something happened, I felt like I was floating at some point, and a light appeared above me... I remember it was very pretty and warm... Suddenly I felt pain... huge pain all over my body, it felt like electricity, and indeed it was.
I woke up, the operation was over, but apparently my heart had stop beating during the process (or something like that, I don´t remember that very well).
But here is something I remember... they took me to a room where my family (as happy as never) and while they talked tome, hugged me and kissed me, I couldn´t held to have a strange feeling, like if someone was watching me... I felt a cold pair of eyes above me... But I was too tired to really realize that...
