A story about the "After Life" through dragonflies eyes....

The aged old question - where do we go when we die? is wondered by many. The mystery continues throughout time, the answer is not clear, there are only assumptions, beliefs, hopes and expectations of a beautiful place up above clouds.

Or is there such a place? Who comes back to let us know?

Here is a different kind of story on the theme of life after death.

The dragonflies nymphs were discussing this exact topic. Given that dragonflies live for a few months as little nymphs and have lots of time to chat.

Sitting in a log at the bottom of the pond, the special little hiding place that Fred, Queenie, Harry, Bell, George, Buddy and Joe when Mitzy wriggled over to them full of excitement.

"I think that Newy is going very soon, he is acting a like he is ready to leave, just like Feebie, Silky and Charlie did a while ago. Remember, they swam up to the top of the water and disappeared and never came back. Where are they? I wonder what they are doing now? No-one ever comes back once they swim up to the surface."

Everyone nodded feeling fearful, they were all good friends and did not want to leave this home at the bottom of the pond. They were happy here. Queenie, who had been there longer than the others knew that she was going soon, it was just a feeling she had. She really didn't want to leave her friends but she knew she had to, where ever that was. "I have a feeling that my time to swim to the surface is getting close, so I promise that when I leave I will come back and tell you all about what happens and where I go.

This excited the nymphs, they are finally going to find out. Not very long after this gathering Queen said goodbye promising that she would come back to tell them about her adventure. The others were hopeful so they waited and they waited, but Queenie did not come down to the old log at the bottom of the pond.

You see, once Queenie reached the surface she transformed into a beautiful dragonfly with wings that only let her fly on the surface of the pond. As much as she wanted to go under the water to her friends, she could not go back. But it was a wondrous amazing place where she was. Amazingly she saw lots of colourful dragonflies just like her. There were Feebie,Silky and Charlie, they were all such beautiful colours, she felt so happy and free, she really loved her new life knowing that her friends would be joining her soon.
