The Lazarus Effect

​Reggie Snell had not been feeling normal for a long period of time. The various physical symptoms that he was experiencing, some serious and some not had been harping at his body for some time and because Reggie had an old school mentality he would not go and see a doctor. But finally when the symptoms grew to be intolerable he decided to see a medical professional but by then it was too late and the doctor told him he only had two months to live. Reggie shrugged his shoulders and said to the doctor that he regretted none of his choices in life and the fact that he didn't want to see a doctor for years was his business and now he suffered the consequences which he was fine with. He made his final preparations for his funeral and the called his lawyer to double check on his will. Then one night he decided that the pain of his disease was becoming too much and he pulled out a 9mm and shoved the gun into his mouth and pulled the trigger. The problem was when he pulled the trigger the gun popped out of his mouth and he ended up blowing off part of his lips, nose and forehead. He was admitted into the hospital in critical condition and a day later he was put on life support. 

​The days went by as his family stood beside him hoping that he would die as soon as possible so they could get their hands on his large inheritance. Then a week later he flatlined and twenty minutes later after that he was officially pronounced dead. 

Upon death Reggie saw the tunnel of white light that led to the heavens, he saw himself naked before God and God took his hand and they walked together. For the next 24 hours Reggie's soul was with the almighty one, but then all of a sudden the white light and God disappeared. He opened his eyes and he saw two morticians above him with scalpels in hand as they were just about to perform his autopsy. The female mortician screamed as she looked back at the corpse who had awakened from the dead. She immediately stopped the autopsy and Reggie was  brought back to intensive medical attention. 

The next day his family came to visit him, disappointed he was still alive as they were already planning how they were going to spend his estate money. Reggie looked at them and said, "Who are you people?" 

The doctors told the family that he had been caught in the Lazarus Effect, which is when one comes back from the dead, but in Reggie's case his memory had been wiped out upon returning.

Reggie then sat up and looked at all of his relatives with great suspicion and said to the doctor, "Get these people out of here and call my lawyer, I want to change my will!"
