Death!

There is nothing new about that concept, yet it is still terrifying. Some say that "death" is the end; after you die, you will enter the endless darkness where nothing existed, an eternal sleep. But to him, "death" is only the beginning.

"Where am I?"

He left the healing chamber, removed the breath-supporting mask from his face, and breathed deeply to fill his lungs with fresh air. He went to a mirror nearby to take a look at himself.

"My body?"

He touched the long scar on his chest and then mumbled to himself:

- Hmm, that bastard did a really nasty job here!

"What?"

- Hah! Boss, you've finally awakened.

"Boss?"

- How is that bastard doing now, Satz?

- He is dead.

- Hmm, what a shame! I wanted to kill him myself. Anyway, we will start the operation tonight, so go and gather the others.

- OK, boss.

"What is happening? Why does my body move and talk on its own? Argggg... Why can I control my body?"

*a sound of the dropping phone*

"This phone!! Why is it here?"

- Are you okay, boss?

- Hmm, the kid's soul seems to be still inside!

"What the hell? Who the hell are you asshole? What did you do to my body?"

- Don't worry, Satz, it will soon vanish.

He picked up the phone on the floor and then dialled a number.

"You bastard! This phone.. no.. this number... no way.."

With an evil smile on his face, he said:

- Let's give you a special gift for my birthday, shall we?

It did not take him much time to reach the rendezvous. And from afar, he could already see the person waiting for him inside the park.

- Yo!

"No, run, please, run now."

That person turned toward him, they met face to face, the first impression on that person's face was "surprise".

"Nea!"

*Slash*

The surprise had not even disappeared from Nea's face, yet a hole was made in his chest.

*heart beating sound*

- Listen carefully to this heartbeat on the palm of your hand, kid, and...

"Nooooooooooooo!"

*crush*

Nea's heart was crushed in his hand.

"What? Tear? Hmm, finally, it disappears."

He vanished into the darkness of the night and left Nea's body out cold on his bloodbath under the pale moon.
