Title: I'm an angel who cannot help.

I feel warmth buzzing through my fingertips. A smile rises to my face- I'm laughing so hard that it's alarming. The hysteria iss overwhelming. I don't know why I'm even laughing.

She's crying; pouring her heart out, a river at her feet. Redness surrounds her sorrowfilled eyes as they cry out for justice; for her pain to finally end.

I touch her on the shoulder- her sorrow is electrifying, so intense in the way I knew it would be. I'm still laughing although it's harder now. I fight to keep it up, for her sake. She needs to hear an angels laughter; to have joy ring in her ears and drown out her pain. It will get better; she just needs to believe it.

My laughter gradually falter; I can feel my throat grow dry. Her anguish is intensifying; I'm not ready for this. But I have to hold on, although my fingers are slowly slipping away. I'm clasping on to her, praying for some way to make her better. I can no longer laugh; no longer help in the way I have been taught since my own death.

'Please.' I whisper, resorting to desperation although I know it will do no good. It breaks my heart to see her like this; griefstruck by the death of her daughter. She's falling on her grave. I can no longer laugh.

The grave is mine.

'Mum.'

I sense anothers presence; another angel come to tell me my task is over. I've witnessed all of this before in my training sessions but now the surreality is lost. It's all real.

'Mum!' I find myself screaming; I can feel her pain although I possess none of my own.

A hand touches my shoulder; they want to pull me back. I try to fend off their clasp.

'Mum!' I stammer. I don't know what to do anymore. I just don't want to leave her. I try to muster up another laugh; a cheerful laugh but it ceases before it even exists.

And then I feel them wrenching me away, pulling me as I cry. Tears stream down my cheeks.

'There's nothing you can do for her.' A voice whispers...

'Mum!' I whisper in defeat. 'I love you...'
