"The Journey." Eddie is not cognizant of his final moment on earth. Unlike other stories about the hereafter, he does not get a chance to come back and set things right.

All he remembers of his last moment is the cart falling, the little girl - Amy or Annie, he is unsure of her name - crying and her two small hands in his. As at a distance and without emotion, Eddie wonders whether he saved her. The only feeling he has is one of calmness. The pain he has endured for much of his life is gone.
