This meets the contest requirements splendidly as you deliver a complete story in less than the maximum 150 words allotted. It's a clever approach to the prompt as not many will think to write about their own wake - or missing it for that matter LOL. Good luck in the voting and thank you very much for sharing it.

thank you, this is not within my normal wheelhouse so it was fun to stretch a bit.
Comment from Brenda Henderson
Okay I was surprised by this, the subject late for their own wake. That's one thing you might think that one could never be late for since they can't really have it without you. But I guess as you have depicted here you could; especially since your absence is what precipitates the need for a wake in the first place! Good job! Thought provoking piece.

Yes, I've often be told I'll be late for my own funeral. So, what's the rush, anyway.
I think you have a couple long, complicated sentences here. You might want to do a little polishing. Just a thought.
Best of luck.
Peace, Lee
I was fully awake waiting for my soul to (be?) selected when I heard a small (,) still voice telling me that I had not listened to the phone ring to invite me to

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
My Father was at his own wake, he decided to have it before he died so that he could say goodbye to everyone before the funeral, it was an interesting day.
You missed a word in this sentence:
(I was fully awake waiting for my soul to (b) selected when I heard a . . . )
Good luck with the contest, love Dolly x
