Epilogue
I sat there on a couch, Daisy leaning back on my chest. Were in a small house, overlooking a lake. I sighed and Daisy turned around.
"What's wrong?" she asked.
"Not much, just thinking about stuff," I told her.
"Like life?" she asked.
"Yeah," I told her. "I kind of miss those days."
"But isn't this fun?" she asked. "We can just lounge around all day."
"It is fun, but I miss doing things. The afterlife is kind of boring," I replied.
"You're right about that part," she said. She pecked my lips and returned to leaning back on my chest.
The morning sunlight shone through the windows of our little cottage, and the birds chirped loudly outside. I have been in this 'afterlife' for about a week now, along with daisy. Slowly, our memories returned to us. I remembered the end, and what happened on "Earth". They were strange memories, like a short, shaky image, only lasting for a couple of seconds, but I could tell I enjoyed that life somewhat.
Daisy and I were free to do whatever we wanted here. We were the only ones in this life. It only makes since that we are here together, given that we died together. The difference between our lives here and in the past world was that our SPARTAN augmentations were gone. It felt like a weight was lifted off my shoulders.
Daisy quickly shot off the couch, smiling and grabbing my arm. She started out the door, but turned around.
"What's the rush?" I asked.
"Silly, there is none!" she laughed. I joined her laughter, and we walked into the world that we now lived in. A world frozen in time.
