With the sun blazing through the thinly sheeted curtains of his apartment , the beam hitting straight into the eyes of the human being.Roderick woke up with a grudging tone, life was just a thin thread for him waiting to be broken by a single snip of a scissor. Barking by his bedside was old Rudy, a 17 year old Airedale Terrier, life had been tough for both of them losing the ones they loved the most, as his small cohort of family members passed on due to unknown diseases , old age or mysterious accidents. One can only think of a life as a pebble having worst luck than Roderick. With a heavy heart,his feet hit the creaky hardwood floor, shuffling to the nearby stove.The boiling water he prepared helped create the wonderful lifesaving juice of coffee, having prepared his breakfast which contained a badly prepared scrambled egg. He put on his slave collar of a work attire and rushed towards the door knowing fully well he might be late.He slammed the door open and scrambled to work

Arriving at work,his company was a middle-sized paper supplier, which meant his office space was smaller than the size of a one-man bed.Sitting at his seat, he started his work as a paper salesman . Throughout the day he would experience constant bullying by his colleagues, leering and glaring at him whenever he made eye-contact with them. He only felt sadness from being shunned by his colleagues, yet he still wondered till this day why they hated him. Was it his nonchalant attitude? His perculiar physical appearance perhaps? Well, he would never have known why...Waiting for exactly 6pm,he briskly walked backed to his old Fiat multipla and drove home.Driving with the sky already pitch-black, the front headlights flickered . He sighed knowing he would have to replace them soon, pulling into his apartment driveway tired and depressed from his miserable life.

"Thud" was the sound as the front wheel ran over an item. Shocked and awakened by the sudden jerk,he slammed the brakes and immediately ran out the car. Lying belly up was rudy, with bloody skid marks and a giant gash on her stomach.Horror and panic kicked in, the emotions let loose. Grief and anguish took over , his companion,his only friend was lying dead on the ground in front of him.Teardrops flooded from his blood red eyes, a deafening cry of anguish resounded trough the entire neighbourhood as Roderick screamed,he screamed as if he had no voice,he screamed so hard the sudden barrage of noises from neighbouring apartments stopped.The world stood still,no sound penetrated the neighbourhood,complete silence as he sat on the hard asphalt. Rudy had managed to exit the apartment via the open front door, CCTV image from the neighbouring guard booth showed Rudy pouncing happily along the driveway barking and howling throughout the day enjoying the last of her old-age energy. This only fueled Rodricks emotional trauma, Rudy was waiting for him to return home . Now he was truly alone in his god forsaken world. With a bleak look on his face as if a zombie had taken control of him, he moved to the trunk of his car.Taking the blue container of sewing materials from the trunk, he grabbed whatever sharp object he could find. Holding the object in his hand he left his car and walked towards the dimly lit stairs of his apartment complex. Each step felt like gravity increasing,forgoing his apartment he continued to walk up towards the fifth-floor rooftop.The sadness in his head had reached the uppermost level , the mount everest of depression. As his rational mindset slowly chipped off as he walked towards the ledge of the rooftop,most would have stopped at the halfway point due to the fear of heights.Well Roderick did not care, not a single thing could stop him now. Placing himself at the ledge of the roof, he took out the item he had brought with a him. A pair of scizzors, his life was bleak, he killed mans best friend, there was nothing left in this world for him.Holding the scizzors in front of him, his tight grip on it caused lacerations on his gritty hands.

He pushed it into his chest.

Feeling the sudden impact of the object into his right ventricle.He took his last breath as his final tear dropped onto the scizzors.Only then he felt warmth,the warmth of blood gushing out himself, closing his eyes he expected his life to fade away.

A sudden bright light followed by pure darkness. He awoke to the sudden darkness, he had no emotion,no physical body. Looking down on himself, he saw a trail of pure white as his body. After gaining the ability to float around,confused and dazed he sat in his postition,slowly taking in his situation. He looked around and noticed a small door at the end of the boundless darkness, a new situation has happened! He willed himself to move towards the door, the small wooden door opened itself and Roderick peeked inside the newfound item. Suprisingly,what he saw was unexpected.Like a line to enter a country,millions of white puffs stood in single file waiting to enter immigration booths, his birds eye view from the top enabled him to see the infinite amount of immigration booths and white puffs. The entire situation looked really similar to a real worlds airport immigration and customs,looking around this vast plains of Immigration,he realised each line was to a different destination. Probably the afterlifes way of sorting out reincarnation,curiousity built up within him.He wanted to explore this new land, slowly gliding his way downwards he noticed multiple security personel all around the room. Maybe deviants may happen in this room,just as he thought of that, a rougue puff of smoke ran out of line towards the security guards.The security guards who were in human form immediately commanded the smoke puff to stop, followed by an alarm "cursing and swearing" was heard from the fustrated security guards,this probably happens a lot.Roderick decided it would be dangerous to try to force his way through,looking towards the long line,he noticed there was no entry point only an exit through the immigration booth.Noticing that he was unable to join the line of white smoke,he precauriously made his way towards a security guard. However,the sight of roderick immediately alerted the guard, with eyes wide open and a look of shock on his face. He radioed in to his superiors and approached careful, with a "follow me" gesture. He politely escorted Roderick to a back office, it was definetly different from their previous attitude towards the white puffs. 

Sitting on a comfy chair in front a large wooden desk, after a whiles wait ,a man in a dark brown suit appeared from the door.After plopping himself onto the chair, his face was the look of curiosity.He gently asked "What are you?  You contravene everything present in this world " Roderick just sat there,he had no answer to his question,he didnt even know what he was or how he disrupted the process. Noticing the lack of answer from the unresponsive Roderick , he said "I don't know what you are but right now you are causing errors in our system, i cant afford to keep you here or wipe your memory, you will be sent to the main world, please do not return." With that ended,Roderick was escorted towards a different path towards a line that held twice the capacity of smoke.Once past the immigration booth,with the slight nod of the head from the immigration officer,Roderick was asked to cross a thin red line.

Immediately,he felt suction and was pulled towards his new destination.
