An old novel idea I had that I never got to.

I had this novel idea about this girl that gets a really bad illness, so she has to stay in the hospital on life support so she wouldnt die. 

Every night, when the hospital is dead silent, she falls into this weird dream with a bunch of doors, and every door is a bad memory of hers that she relives, and her life is mostly made up of bad memories so there's a bunch she goes through. 

Anyway, after a memory is ended she jolts awake, only she's paralysed, and the grim reaper is present in the room. He haves a chat with her every night about the memory she just had, and she expresses how much she hates life and regrets many things she's done.

Bit by bit, memory after memory, night after night, chat after chat, she begins to realise that maybe her life wasn't so bad, maybe she was the problem, maybe she could've done better. 

And so she tells the grim reaper, on the final night, that when she gets better she'll give herself a better life, try harder, be nicer, and actually enjoy being around.

But the twist at the end is that there's no "when I get better," because on that final night the grim reaper is there to take her soul. So she rages, naturally, and begs to be granted a second chance, but that's not really how life works. And so her soul is taken, and she doesn't get the chance to fix her life.

 Originally I had an even darker ending for this but we'll put that aside for now.

I want to get to it sometime, idk if I ever will tho.
