I sat down and cried, it had been a short time, not even 20 years, but it was all I would ever get. The tunnel, as short as it was, sapped my strength. Was going to heaven suppose to be this hard? I knew I was dead, I had no hope of surviving, I had given my life to save the world.
"No" I thought "that's not right. I gave my life so that they would have a chance, to save the world or live as slaves for the rest of their days I didn't know, what did it mater? I sat down, not going closer to heaven. Did I really deserve to go to heaven? No, I could have stopped this long ago, but I hadn't so now, I would sit here. I would never leave, never return but never enter paradise ether. I lowered my head and wept.
I don't know how long I was there, it seemed like days but may have only been minutes. But ether way when the voice announced it's presents I was to blinded by tears to see whom it was.
"My child, why do you greave? Is it not paradise only feet away? Is this tunnel a better place then my domain? Surly you would rather dwell in heaven then in this dreary place?"
"Why am I here? I wish to be turned back to another place, I don't deserve heaven! How many people have died because of me!!? A hundred? A thousand? More? I want to go back, I have to fix things! Don't you people understand? I have to make it right. I will never enter your realm tell I do!"
"Now that you have released your burden do you feel better?"
"I won't fell better till I fix things."
"I see. But, my son what is done cannot be undone. There is nothing you can do.
Finally, rage building inside I got up, ready to lash out at the owner of the voice, but when I looked up the only person there was a little old lady.
"I will let you return, but you will pay a price." She said quietly.
"Anything"
