NOTE- Ok, I didn't use the other title I had chosen. That's all right. And sorry so short.
CHAPTER 11 (PRESENT DAY) Is This Heaven or Hell?
I feel like I'm in a black hole, spinning at major speeds. I don't know where either. I'm just spinning until I land on something soft, not hard. "Where am I? What happened?" I thought.
A voice comes to me, "I could tell you where you're at?"
"Huh? Who are you?" I ask. My eyes are blurry. I can't see.
"You are in Heaven." They pause. "I'm God."
I just stare. "But what happened?"
"Oh, it'll come to you sometime, and you'll know." They say, then walk away.
I get up and start to look around. Is this really Heaven? Am I in a whole new world?
I see a white light. What is it? I go closer to it. "Wow!" I say. It was an angel. I go and try to tap them on the shoulder, but my hand went right through. "Whoa! That was weird. Wonder if I'm an angel too?"
The angel turns around. I guess they heard me. "Indeed, you are."
I smile and then frown, "But I'm not ready to become an angel yet."
"You should've thought about that first." The angel says.
"Why? I didn't do anything wrong."
"Yeah you did. You went to that party."
"What party?"
"The one boy you fought invited you."
"What boy?" I scratch my head.
"Nathan Blur."
"Who's that?" I am confused.
"You don't remember?"
"Huh? No."
"He was the bully who picked on you." The angel explains.
"What? I don't remember."
"Do you remember anything?"
"Uh, no. Nothing. Zip."
We were both very quiet for a minute.
I ask, "If I did something wrong, why am I in Heaven and an angel?" Pause. "Just wondering."
"That's right."
"It is?"
"You can't be in Heaven. You should be in Hell." The angel explains. They take me to a door.
"Where does that door go to?" I ask.
"You'll see." They open it and kick me into it.
I'm spinning at major speeds, in a black hole, again. I do not know where that angel sent me. Where? I wonder until I land on something hard and hot.
I yell, "Ow! This ground is hot!"
Then I see someone or something puff out of a cloud of fire. "Duh! The ground is hot, because you're in Hell!"
"Who are you?"
"I'm the Devil. Who did you think I was?" They ask in a mean tone of voice.
"Don't know, but why are you mean?"
"That's my job. I could tell people who did bad things what to do." They point to me, "Like you." They give a evil laugh.
"I didn't do anything wrong."
"Yes you did."
"No."
"Do you have a short time memory?" They ask me.
I just shrug my shoulders.
"Well, you went to a party and drank to much."
"So."
"So? So you're going to be doing a lot of slaving for me."
"I don't think so." I fold my arms.
"Don't talk to the Devil like that, mister! I'm now your boss!"
I roll my eyes, "Yeah, right!"
They pick me up by their hands and threw me against the wall, hard. I fall to the ground, crying and screaming. They scare me.
I see them about come toward me, but I hear someone say...
---------------
"Todd! Todd, you're alive! What's the matter?"
I lie there, crying and screaming, then open my eyes a little. "Huh? Where am I? How long have I been here?" I say slowly and weakly.
"You've been at the hospital since eight hours."
"Hospital? This isn't Hell?"
"No. Todd, do you remember what happened?"
"Who's Todd? Who are you?" I ask.
"You are Todd. I'm Jay, you're friend."
"I do not know a Todd or Jay." I point, "Who are they?"
"I'm your mother."
"I'm your father."
"I'm your uncle, Matt."
"I'm your aunt, Melina."
"I'm your cousin, Dustin."
"I'm your grandfather."
"I'm your grandmother."
I hear them all cry.
"I don't know you people." I say.
[LIZZIE WALKS TO TODD.] "Honey, please remember." I see her cry.
"Remember what?"
[JAY ASKS,] "How old are you?" [JUST TO SEE IF HE KNEW.]
I thought for a minute. "I don't know, because I don't know how to count."
"Do you remember anything at all?"
I shake me head no.
I look around, "Everything is blank inside my mind."
