That Blue, Blue Sky
Prologue
--
The sky was heavy with rain clouds. The whole day seemed surprisingly melancholy. I sighed, letting the heavy drops of rain hit my head and let my curls cling to my naked back and breasts. People looked at me like I was crazy, and some stared at the small plastic bag in my hand. In it was a rifle. Most people followed me; some to try and stop me, some to see if I would really do it.
Did life ever get so boring you wanted to die just to get away from it, just to break some of the gray monotony that continuously stood in your way as a thick fog? I fought through that fog, and finally I found a way out of it. Die. Death. The Grim Reaper would cut that fog away with his scythe and take you to a far-away land with variety, heroes, magic, and villains. I wanted that life, the life that only death could promise. The life that I wanted all along. With the Grim Reaper's cool scythe in my mouth…
Bang…

The chirping of birds? It's morning now. I must not have made it. I'm in the hospital with a hole through my mouth. My mother and father are really worried about me. Mother is crying in joy and fear and dad is cheering because I'm alive. I can almost hear them now…there he is; hi dad. Why are you crying so hard? Where am I?
"You're not of their world anymore." A voice said. It was the whisper of the wind and the birds were louder than it was. "You're in a continuum of space, held in place by your desire to keep living. How did you get here?"
"I shot myself in the mouth."
"Interesting…what is your favorite color?"
"Who cares?"
"It determines where you will end up in the next life."
"Hm…teal."
"Favorite food?"
"I have no preference to that."
"Interesting…my, the likes of you haven't come around in centuries. The last question. What do you want most out of life?"
I wanted? "I want…adventure. No monotony…just…life."
"That's all? Excitement then?"
"No, life."
"No excitement?"
"No, I want life!"
"Excitement as well?"
"If excitement comes with life then yes, I do want it."
"Your wish shall be granted…"
Then there was light. A large bright white light and the gentle scent of roses. Then I fell back into a world unlike my own…
