I‘m Dead
And I Approve this Message.
Cierra Jean Bullock, 51, passed away in the twist and rise of a tide on April 21, 2047. Her family reported that they drove to Ocean Beach, California, to spend a few nights in a house by the shore of the ocean itself. According to daughter Eliza Calderwood, Bullock was said to have wandered off by herself late one night to “watch the sky aglow above and the sand between me toes with each footstep - like one might do in a storybook.” She then wandered out too close to the water and the ocean tongue rolled in to sweep her out to sea (John Smith…). Her body was found early the next morning with salt in her lungs and her limbs frozen solid.
Bullock was born April 4, 1996, at St. Mark’s Hospital to parents Bryan and Tanya Bullock. She spent the first years of her life living in a cramped apartment with her parents and grandmother. Being an only child, Bullock made it through her childhood by herself with her imagination and the need to never share. She had a hard time when it came to meeting new people and making friends, and was often picked on for the lack of social skills, but always found comfort in the images she created with words on paper.
As she grew older, Bullock decided that the only way she could ever be happy is if she pursued a writing career. With the future in mind, she strived to develop as a writer. She began publishing her work at age thirteen to several contests around her town and on the internet. She won a total of eleven writing competitions before the age of eighteen.
Her most memorable writing completion was in Roy, Utah, when she was fourteen. She won second place with a story about a little girl and her teddy bear, and she met a man n...

...ike to measure it in the width of smiles I could bring to the lips of other people, and the loudness of the laughs I could conduct from the throats of strangers caused by my work,” (Smitten with Words). Those are the words the Calderwood family are taking to heart, and hope that everyone will take to heart as well.
Funeral services will be held at 11:00 AM on Saturday, April 25, 2047, at the Highland 3rd Ward Chapel, corner of Butte and Hiskey. Burial will follow at Mountain View Cemetery.
