There was no One else with me.

    Was it that easy?


    To die that is?


    Hah... well... it doesn’t really matter anyhow.


    ~/’‘’‘’‘’‘’‘’‘’‘’‘’/~


    I am currently having a ride with my lovely car towards my parents house for christmas eve, it would have been a pleasant experience if weren’t for the dang weather which is making it hard for me to drive.


    To be honest, I really hate it when it’s cold or snowing. Always white, silent, and not to mention the damn sickness.


    Even the road is hard to move by, all because of this weather.


    Hearing that my favorite Chopin music started losing connection... My hands couldn’t help but start bashing the radio.


    After a little trial, it finally went back to normal.


    When I looked through my car’s window, I noticed that there was no more sign of street lights.


    It didn’t freak me out one bit, as I knew that I’m close.


    It has been seven years... since we seen each other.


    Time sure goes by fast.


    Sometimes I wonder what I’m doing.


    Should I just go in the house and greet them with a happy smile?


    Or make them see how sad I am?


    I wonder how much my sister has grown.


    Dad, must still be trying his best with making that old T.V work.


    As for Mom, I... really miss her cooking.


    That tender loving taste and bountiful aroma filled with exquisite spice.


    Sigh* I wonder if I should just turn back now.


    I’m doing something wrong aren’t I?


    It was my fault for leaving... but I still want to greet, hug and laugh together.


    Though that fear... still lingers in me.


    The fear of them not knowing who I am.


    The fear of them feeling disgust from a glance atmy pitiful state.


    I didn’t get admission to any famous college nor any to the matter of fact.


    What reason do I have to barge in their peaceful house and enjoy a happy christmas night?


    None, none at all.


    Before I knew it, my eyes where already feeling warm.


    Ah, I still cry even though I’m already at my 20‘s.


    Well it’s only natural.


    As I wipe my eyes with my hand, it happened.


    The steering wheel felt loose and I couldn’t move my car the way I wanted it to do.


    There was a cliff in front of me, and I knew at that point that... I was dead.


    I tried my hardest to steer while pushing on the break... but it didn’t work.


    Before I crashed and died, the last thing I recalled thinking was a distant memory.


    “Mom, Mom! Your cooking was the best!” I said energetically.


    “Oh deary, you can have as much as you like!” My mom replied back.


    “Honey, if you feed the boy too much he’ll grow fat...” My dad said with a happy expression.


    “Don’t wowwy Dad, hish a boy, he’ll grow stwong!” Said my sister as she tugs my dad’s sleeve.


    It was a really good memory.


    Really... good... memory...


    ~/’‘’‘’‘’‘’‘’‘’‘’‘’/~


    My eyes opened slightly to find my head hurting like hell.


    I checked my body to find blood on my chest.


    It pains.


    As for my eyes... they felt tired and sleepy.


    I’m afraid if I close it this time, it’ll be the end of me.


    I wonder... if hell could be that bad?


    It’s hot, and warm... too warm I mean.


    Unless for some reason it is cold... then yeah, I’m screwed.


    Ah, what am I thinking.


    Just die, I deserved it.


    I closed my eyes.


    ~/’‘’‘’‘’‘’‘’‘’‘’‘/~


    Hmm...


    What?


    I’m not dead?


    Why am I seeing light?A case of content theft: this narrative is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.


    Is it like those famous scenes with Morgan Freeman?


    My eyes opened once again, but unlike last time... instead of dying inside my broken car, I’m now standing.


    I thought it was heaven but I notice that what I’m staring at was nothing but the street lights.


    Without any hesitation, I observed my surroundings to find that I’m in an amusement park.


    What?


    No no, that ain’t right.


    Why am I here? I’m pretty sure that I died.


    My seems normal and there''s no sign of te blood from what I recalled... how?


    I surveyed around further to find that there wasnothing.


    Like literally nothing except for the large amusement part and well paved road.


    Every where else was covered in white, except for the sky which stayed cloudy and moody.


    The weirdest part is that the clouds didn’t show any sign of moving... Strange.


    As anyone would do, I looked around the place.


    I didn’t find anyone for a long time even though there has been clear signs of someone staying here.


    Like for example, drench female clothes was being laid on a bench for them to become dry.


    Signs of drawings on walls were also seen, which were quite beautiful.


    After a long haul of searching, I finally found someone.


    Not just any ordinary person, but instead a beautiful lady.


    Maybe the prettiest, I have ever seen.


    Having a straight silver hair that stretches to her shoulders.


    Eyes of pure black, with no emotion behind any of them.


    A body that is elegant but not abundant.


    She’s wearing a plain white colored dress, paired up with a pleasant light toned sweater.


    That lady was sitting upon the top staircase while staring at the sky above.


    It gave me a really pleasant view of her neckline...which I don’t know why I mention about it.


    Since I have nothing better, or any that is, to do.


    I decided to muster my courage and throw away my shyness and speak with her.


    Plus the creepiness of this place, is giving me the willies.


    Noticing my presence, it made the lady reveala shocked expression.


    No one could notice it, if they didn’t focus on her eyebrows slightly raising.


    She then coughs before asking with a soft voice. “Wait, another person aside from me could be sent to this place too? How?”


    Her single question made me feel already sad. Depressed actually.


    It showed lots of signs of loneliness, happiness and the voice... well how I’m going to explain this... Like someone that did not speak for years.


    Aside from that, I didn’t have any way of responding to her question so instead I asked.


    “Ugh.. Where am I?”


    My question caused her to tilt her head slightly to the right before she answers back by saying.


    “I too wondered that. Until I remembered that this was the place where my parents would bring me when I was a child.”


    Her words struckme like a hammer for some reason.


    I didn’t think about it too much... but now I noticed something off.


    Like what she said, this place is truly somewhere I have visited when I was young.


    I couldn’t help but notice that my heart started aching with pain.


    But it’s not the time for me to drift mindlessly with thoughts.


    As I find that it was not only me in pain but also the lady in front of me.


    Without any holding back, I asked even though it hurts. “But... I thought that I just died?”


    For the first time since I met her, I found that she can make an expression. A surprised one that is.


    But it didn’t last that long before it reverts back to her regular poker face.


    The lady then chuckles a bit, which was filled with sadness, before replying back.


    “What are you talking about? Ha ha... we’re not dead! Can’t you see! Then look at us breathing and alive!”


    The tone was completely filled with denial. She looked really pitiful, just like a lost puppy waiting for its owner to come back.


    It felt really bad to watch someone at this state so I broke out the truth to her.


    “Lady, if I’m dead then I’m afraid that you’re too.”


    She slowly shakes her head before laughing madly before saying out loud.


    “I already died?! What about...” Her voice then became low as she continues. “all the things that I wanted... to do.”


    Tears were seen falling down from her eyes.


    After a short moment, she rubs away the tears before gnashing her teeth.


    It was not right for a man to watch a lady cry without doing anything, so I decided to approach before patting her head.


    Though she pushed away my hand but I still managed to say. “Well, it’s not that bad.”


    Hearing my words caused her to be ticked off completely as she replies back.


    “Are you mental?! How is dying considered not bad?! I was going to experience being a college student and having friends for crying out loud!” She then points at me before continuing. “Now tell me, why did you said that?”


    My mind already thought up for a reply and so I said. “That’s bad and all... but at least now


    you’re not alone anymore right?”


    She surveyed me from toes to head before replying back. “With you? Should I be considered lucky or unfortunate to be stuck with a moron?”


    Her words wereas sharp as a knife, truly.


    Ignoring the lady’s presence, I sat down beside the goddess in human form, and I didn’t mind seeing her scoot away in hurry.


    I just thought that she was shy, and so I hinted a smile towards her before saying. “At least you had ambitions, unlike me who couldn’t keep up with everyone’s expectation before running far away.”


    I didn’t know how I looked but judging from from her expression, it must really be pitiful just like her state was.


    For some reason I found it cute that she started moving closer to me as she asks.


    “Then what happened?”


    Also sad at the same time as I don’t know how much months she stayed in this place without having someone else to talk with.


    I then continued, as I can’t let any lady wait, by saying. “Well it went down hill from there, I moved to the main city and lived by myself with the money I stole from my dad. Don’t think I didn’t do anything while I was there as I tried out for an entrance exam to a Uni I dreamed of. Money wasn''t also enough and so I had to take labour like part time jobs.


    Though it unfortunately failed horribly and I knew the reason... I wasn’t trying hard enough or maybe I’m just stupid.” I averted my eyes from her appearance before surveying the sky above.


    The breezing wind was... good, it gave me motivation to continue so I said. “After trying again and again, but still failed. I gave up. There was nothing to do, and time flew by fast. I was going to meet my parents for advice... but... now I’m here before I could.”


    Thinking about it, this was the first time I shared my thoughts... I wonder why. Maybe because all my friends were... how can I say this, too good for me?


    ''You can lose your job, you can lose your dignity, you may be a beggar but never forget to stay true to the ones you care.''


    There was nothing left but silence between us as I notice the complicated expression on her face.


    She tried to speak multiple times, but no word could be uttered.


    After lots of attempts, she finally said. “I... for one feel remorse and familiarity, as mine was almost similar but not at all. Unlike you, my parents died when I was seven and I had no one to take care of me.” Her eyes started tearing up, before she continues.


    “I had to strive by myself... all that time. I’m thankful to my grandparents to give me some help but mostly... I was just alone. In order to repay their kindness, I did my best, indeed my very best but.. It ended up with nothing beneficial except an early death.”


    Her words were filled with sorrow to the point where I felt it too. I even almost cursed.


    Seeing how she wanted to live made me despise myself due to me giving up early on life.


    Even if she just explained little, but it was more than enough to make me feel regret for not trying further when I was alive... by a bit.


    After shaking away my previous thoughts, I decided to ask. “We talked for almost a while now, but we still don’t know each other names. May I know yours?”


    She wiped her tears, and brushed off her bangs before replying back. “Nora Hourley”


    I smiled before saying. “Sei Vlask, nice to meet you.”
