Your P.O.V:
I stood on the linoleum floor as the all-too-familiar smell of the hospital filled my nose. I crinkled it in disgust. A weary sigh escaped my lips as I floated in the air nonchalantly. Here I was again -- the hospital. My graceful black wings unfurled as I boredly did a pirouette in the air.
A frown formed on my pink lips as I remembered where I was. Hums and whirs from the nearby machines brought me back to reality. Rushing doctors and nurses passed by me hurriedly, not even seeing me. Of course, I was an angel after all. Why would they see me? I was dead.

I read his portfolio and sighed. He had an unidentifiable sickness, and he was predicted to die in approximately three days.
I shook my head. *Poor boy.* Twisting the cold brass doorknob, I entered the room. I scanned the interior before gazing at the bed. I remembered sitting in a bed like that and feeling the immense pain of sickness enveloping my body before I became a wandering spirit like the others. Now here I
