AN: So, yeah, I remembered that I was writing this story and went back to look at it. Upon rereading what I had written, I'm pretty sure I died a little inside. So I'm rewriting this. As like before, I do not own Naruto.
I've never really thought about death or even the afterlife. Sure, I've heard about the theory of rebirth, but it's not something I ever believed in. My life consisted of work, school, and my cat. I no longer had any family. I was just like anybody else you'd pass by walking down the sidewalk. So, nothing special, at least not that I can figure out. And as for the issue of not believing, I should have. I really should have. It might have prepared me better for happened next. The day started out completely normal, get up feed my cat, go to work. I finished my shift at the library and went to head to school. Something that should be noted about me is that I'm a bit clumsy. And when I say a bit, I mean full on walking disaster accident prone kind of clumsy. Honestly, it's a miracle that I had never been seriously injured, well, until now. I was crossing the street when my foot hit a dip in the road, twisting my ankle and bringing me down. At the same time, a car sped around the corner, the driver looking down. You know how they say that when you're about to die, your life flashes before your eyes? Yeah, about that, I call bullshit. I didn't see a rerun of my life, time didn't slow down, there was no profound realization. One moment I'm fine, the next I'm in agonizing, mind stopping pain. I heard voices around, panicked and shouting. My last thought, ironically, as I let myself drift off into the beckoning void, was that this was the exact reason that you aren't supposed to text and drive.
It is a really good thing that I lost the notebook that I had originally written this in. Otherwise I probably would have attempted to burn it in shame. It was seriously that bad. On another note, I'm going to try to keep up with this better. My current plan is to attempt a weekly update, not sure what day yet though. Probably Saturdays. We'll see.
