Prologue
I opened my eyes only to find darkness. Complete darkness. Everywhere I turn my head I see darkness. How did this happen? Should I be in some place called Heaven? Or the other one? Shouldn't I be judged right now? If I had sinned on my living days and if I had followed the Ten Commandments. Shouldn't be St. Peter be waiting for me in front of the holy Golden Gates, heavenly voices and harps coming from the other side. St. Peter who would decide if I can pass. If that was the situation would I be in Heaven or... Hell?
I was a very good person. I never did all of the sins listed in the Bible. It was the opposite. I tried to follow them. What went wrong?
Now I stand in this empty darkness. I wonder where I am? I walked a few steps forward and stretched my hands in front of me. Nothing. I couldn't feel anything. I spun around arms flailing, running in the dark. It feels as if I'm blind. I don't like it. Endless darkness stretched on and on, not a wall or a corner for me to recognize as a room. I might be in purgatory. But shouldn't be other souls be wandering with me.
Giving up, I sat down on the ground, not even dirt. Could I be really dead or maybe I'm stuck between the world of the living and the dead. My body left with the Living trying to fight for its life. I imagined my mum crying for me outside the emergency room, praying for me to survive. But that's impossible, I could remember my death, I've seen it like a third person point of view, clearly. Too clearly. I've seen my past flash back through my eyes, so what they said was real. Hah, lucky for those who lived to tell the tale.
I remember I was walking through the streets with my friends just enjoying our little chit chats and mocking around with each other when we saw a man came up to us. He wore a long trench coat covering his whole body except for his legs covered by dark jeans underneath. His used to be brown hair was fading to grey and at the top of his head was a bald spot. He had wrinkles all over his face. I think he's in his late forties or early fifties. Well that doesn't matter. He had came up to us his eyes had been sneaky like he was hiding something and we did soon find out. We had stopped laughing and stared at him too, we had decided to go pass him but he soon pulled out a gun. A pistol I might recall, from inside his coat he pointed it at me who was at the front of the group. Everything happened so fast I heard my friend scream beside me then a loud gunshot about three... no five. Three at my heart and two on my head. At first there was nothing it was as if someone had only poked me hard then the terrible pain comes. It was agonizing. Feeling the bullets go deeper inside. I saw myself fall down at the feet of my friends bleeding, then the man shot himself in the head falling too next to my lifeless body. Nobody could have survived that.
I shook my head to get the memory out. Who wants to remember their death? If anyone asked me I would say no. I had a life ahead of me, I was going to help my poor old mum save us from hunger I was going to college. I had a scholarship. I had a part time job, I gave every penny that I earned to my mother and my sister. Oh sweet little Antonette, her curly brunette hair that I used to tie up in a pony tail. Her sweet smiles and joyous laughs. Who would take care of her now? She was only seven years old. I miss them already. I wish that somebody would take care of them. Can't even count on my dad, a drunk, cheating bastard. He never loved us. He used to beat up my mum till she bled. She was so frail and fragile and I couldn't even do a thing. I've watched her in pain in the corner getting threats from my so-called father that if I helped her he would kill me.
Memories.
Memories that I just want to wipe out of my head. I can't do anything anymore to help my family. I'm dead. Dead. Dead. Dead. No future awaits me anymore. I'm stuck in this 'Limbo World'. Forever.
Well, that was it. Hope you guys enjoyed it. Sorry if it sucked. Message or review.
