Thoughts
Many people say that when we die we'll see a white light or that everything disappears in darkness...
Well I saw neither of those; I don't even remember what I saw... It was just like "shi*" PAM! Dead...
Everybody hates bureaucracy, well on heaven it doesn't get better; It's just "Fill this and take it there" and once there "Fill these 3 forms and stand there" after hours (?) (I don't know how time is measured in heaven) "Oh were closed for lunch, come back in an hour", god it's so annoying I want to give them a piece of my mind, but if I do that I may be sent to hell.
And once inside the gates of heaven...
"Here, change into these robes and here is your schedule" the robes are a plain white color along with a little white sash, it depends on the color of the sash to know which 'level of importance' are you (going back to medieval times) "you start tomorrow at 8" How am I going to know the time? I don't know; where am I going to 'live'? (I'm not sure if it applies once you are dead) "Your room is on the compound K, fourth floor room 4703, Have a nice stay"
So here am I now in "my" room, sorry I haven't properly introduced myself.
My name is Mathew Williams, reason of death unknown, age of death 17, nationality Canadian, Physical appearance near shoulder-length strawberry blond hair along with a rebellious curl on the middle of my forehead sometimes it tickles my nose but not always, violet eyes glowing with a light of shyness, I wear glasses since I am practically blind without them, my height is around 5ft 10inch not really sure and I don't remember my past.
People in heaven say it's normal since you go through the trauma of dying but later on you may remember your past (or pasts if you reincarnated) although it's more paperwork and time if you want to reincarnate… (=_=)
My room is practically bare, it's the size of a college room and it only has an individual bed (plain white sheets, mattress and pillow) a small desk with a lamp,a drawer, a closet, a bookcase with uncommon books (guide to heaven, a perfect rest, dictionary of demons, kinds of angels, etc…) a small bathroom and an unmoving clock… not the normal clock you see on earth this one had 14 symbols, one hand and a little bell.
The symbols consist of:
- A falling apple - A needle
- A wing - A stick person with horns
- A book with a halo - A stick person running
- A question mark - A bird
- Another question mark - Yet another question mark
- A shadow - A pair of scales
- A paint brush - A stick person standing
Looking at it closely I find a yellow note beside the clock, 'insert finger in the hole under the note to get the clock working', removing the note I insert my finger and feel a little pinch
"What the- that hurt!" I exclaimed putting my finger in my mouth, weird I thought that once dead I wouldn't feel pain… or have blood. I got away from the clock to find my name carved on the top with italics and the clocks hand was on a blank space
Now that I think about it… why do I have a schedule?

No… Nooo… Nooooooooo! I hate physics (facewall) "God, I was told that dying was supposed to be peaceful" After a little dramatic moment I checked the stuff that I had (the closet was full of robes, no surprise here and the drawer had white boxers, what's up with all the white?) and turned to the clock.
"Do I go to sleep now or go to eat, they didn't even gave me a map" I sit on my bed and look at the ceiling, putting my hand on top of my forehead and closing my eyes, how did I die?
A knocking on the door distracted me from my thoughts, getting up from the bed I walk (like 4 steps) and open the door
"H-hello…?" I look shyly at the person in front of me, well more like I look down to the person, he is a short honey blond green eyed man with the bushiest eyebrows I have ever seen and was staring at me with too much intensity like he knew my deepest secrets (and I myself don't know them)
"You're new right?" He said monotonously
"Um… ye-" I got abruptly interrupted
"Of course you are, I haven't seen you around and I know everyone" He looked at me in the eye again making me gulp, don't mess with this guy "I'm going to show you around, any questions?"
"Yes, how do you measure time?" He looked shocked; well I think that's a normal question
"Of all the bloody things you could have asked, you ask about time…" He facepalmed (?)
"It's a normal question, and I don't understand the clock in the room if you can even call that a clock" I said quite offended, he's got such a foul mouth, how can he still be in heaven.
"The symbols represent which classes you have, the bell rings for each class and the hand point the class you have" He said pointing at the clock through my half opened door
"What represents each?" I said now taking my schedule
"Bloody git, I think it's too obvious; The falling apple represents physics, the needle medicine, the wing flight, the person with horns demonology, the book with a halo theory, the person running training, the bird creatures, the shadow spirit, the scales ethics, paintbrush art, the person standing situations; as for the question marks it depends of the kind of angel, your skills and the elective course you choose" He stated pointing towards each symbol as he explained, now that I notice the sash of his robes is a golden color… "Let's get going I need you to know your way around"
"What does the color of the sashes represent and how many are they?" I said silently hopping he wouldn't get mad at my questioning
"There are 9 colours and each one depends on the kind of angel you are, those are:
Golden-Seraphim
Silver-Cherubim
Bronze-Ophanim
Red-Dominions
Green-Virtues
Black-Powers
Blue-Principalities
Yellow-Archangels
Lilac-Angels
Sometimes you can change the kind of angel you are because of certain circumstances, but normally you stay in that category" The green eyed angel (excuse me, Seraph) responded his eyes turned slightly darker at near the end of the sentence; maybe it was just my imagination.
We were now on the first floor of the building and a delicious smell assaulted my senses "This is the cafeteria of the compound K, on your lunch time you'll get your food here, you can't skip it" The angel said and kept walking, why would I want to skip meals?. We continue walking towards the main door of the building passing various doors on the process, each one had a unique carving but I couldn't keep looking since the seraph pulled me outside.
"Aren't I a soul? Why do I have blood feel pain or need to eat like a human?" That question has been in my mind for a while now
Again I caught the Seraph off guard, I wonder… what kinds of questions he is used to?
"Yes we are souls but in here you could say you have another 'life'" He caught my confused gaze "Heaven, Hell and Earth are on different dimensions but they are united through the soul like dreams, yet the dream dimension covers the other three so demons, angels and humans can dream even cross dream paths normally when that happens demons try to take advantage of the humans since they are so breakable. The difference between the dream dimension and the other three is that on the dream dimension the only thing that is there it's the conscience therefore you can't get hurt and on the other three you have a soul that has needs"
God it's confusing, I hope it gets better explained on theory. I find myself in front of something that reassembles a train station except that it looks like it hasn't been used in a while
"From here you'll take the wagon before your classes start, It takes half an hour to get to the school from here if the wagon functions properly… once you learn how to fly you won't be using it anymore" He looked longingly at the wagon that was half run over, maybe it's something from his past "Let's head back, I need to give you something"
Going back to the compound the Seraph looked for something inside his robe, getting out a small square-ish box he opened it and took out a normal watch "All the angels must have one" He looked at me, his eyes flashed a bit of guilt before they went back to normal, am I seeing things?
He left me in front of my room before disappearing down the hallway, I got inside my room and sighed, today it was tiring, I hope tomorrow is better.
I eyed the watch and went to sleep
