A ringing sound resounds in my car as my phone rings. Glancing at my phone the office secretary Rebecca was calling, by force of habit, I place a smile on my face as I answer the call.

"Rebecca what do you got for me," I said keeping my smile. Rebecca and I have a deal that whenever there's an interesting case she calls me first whenever there is an interesting case which is much easier to find in the summertime and I repay her back in chips. I asked if she wanted something else but no she only wanted chips. She's probably the only person I would call a friend and for someone like me, that's something.

Apparently, summer is the time of the year for crime, because of that, today is my first break in a long time. It's The only good thing about all the influx of calls is that now we have more freedom to choose our clients.

"Today's your special day I got 2 cases," She said in a giddy tone. "One's about a recent lottery winner crapping on top of her boss's desk and the other is an international espionage case between two manufacturing Giants," She said. Seeing my neighborhoods sign I quickly drive inside.

"Rebbeca how could you, of course, I'll take the espionage case," I said infected with her Giddeyness now with a real smile on my face. Rebecca is probably one of the very few I would call a friend.

"I thought you would say that so I set the appointment with your clients on Monday," She said probably grinning at her phone.

"Rebecca I'll call you back I'm kind of busy bye Rebecca," I said somewhat reluctant to end the call.

"Bye John," Said Rebecca with a hint of what of I hope of sorrow at ending the call so early. We usually talk for hours about the dumbest things, I would be lying If I said I didn't enjoy talking to her.

Pulling up in front of my house the first thing I notice is that her car is still parked in my driveway. Why couldn't it just go home? My car makes a beep as I get out and lock it. Walking to my house I stand in front of the door pulling out my keys.

What should I say to her once I get in the house? Should I be nice to her, no I shouldn't do that if I'm too nice she'll think that I still want her? When will she understand that it was meant to be a one-night thing, not a 3-month relationship? Inwardly sighing I massage my forehead calming myself down.

Then should I go hard on her, noo that wouldn't work either she's already close to snapping no need to push her. How about I ....., actually this is too complicated, why do I even need to do this I'm on the final straw with this woman why should I entertain her. Worst come to worse I'll just force her outside, and if that doesn't work I'll just call the police. Call me an asshole so what sue me.

Opening the door a refreshing smell floods over me. Glancing over at the kitchen all the dirty plates have been cleaned and put in a cabinet. The carpets have all been recently vacuumed, even the tv looks as if it went through 3 bottles of glass cleaner, but I noticed none of that as the dining table was fitted with 6 boxes of all of my favorite pizza, buffalo.

"Look Emily, enough of this you should go home," I said closing my gaping mouth. I know I'm also surprised I remember her name its not just you. Even I have to admit this is pathetic beside the faster she leaves, the more pizza left for me and isn't that what really matters.

"John can't we just restart our relationship," She said tears threatening to come out.

"Emily, if you don't get of my house right now I'll call the cops," I said stuffing my face with the pizza, I'm not being too harsh, right? She flinched when I mentioned the cops grinding her teeth.

"Just tell me what do you even think of me," She said now crying. If I had even spared her a glance I would've saw that she was tightly clenching something under the table. Alas, I did not care about her so why would I look at her.

"A used tool, a religious freak, and a complete idiot," I said not sparing a breath, screw being soft beside I'm done with her besides she's a grown woman she doesn't need to babied.. for a moment she went completely silent, utter silence filled the room. Only the sounds of me chewing were made, even her the sound of her sobbing stopped. If I had even just spared just a single glance I would've found her smiling, not a happy smile but one of utter insanity.

Sensing this odd silence I was about to throw a glance at her but then I realized I couldn't move, I couldn't even lift my finger. Without even a warning she lifted her hand revealing a knife sharpened to the tip. Without hesitation, she stabbed my arm over and over again. I tried to scream but only a whimper left my mouth.

"This is your fault!!!" "If you were a good person I wouldn't have to poison you!!!" Taking a deep breath she starts laughing a laugh filled with insanity and I had no choice but stare at her." Do you even love me," She said once again sobbing and raising the knife for one last life ending slash.

Falling deep into despair the last thing I saw was the knife coming towards me. Just like that I died not even fully knowing what happened with not even enough time piss in fear.

If I had just a bit more time maybe would have thought of useless stuff, like what would happen if I had a second chance at life. What would happen If I wasn't an orphan and had a family that loved me? What would have happened if I had some or even just one real friend? What would have happened if I was actually worth something? Does someone like me even deserve this? What if I told Rebecca she was the only person for me? Alas, all of these thoughts were useless because my body had already taken its last breath.

--------------? Hours Later -------------

The first thing that meets my eye when I wake up is an eggshell white sky, rubbing my eyes to make sure I'm not dreaming I reaffirm I'm not in my room. From the uncomfortable feeling coming from my back, I'm obviously not on my bed. Trying to lift my self up is shown to impossible by my extremely overworked body, sighing I try to get up once more when an invisible force pushes me back down.

"Trying to get up are we," Said something. "

Who are you," I said trying to sound as calm as I can to the voice that seems to be coming from every direction.

"Ooh so close, you almost sound calm. You see that doesn't work when I can read your thoughts," Said something stifling a laugh

"So are you, God," I said now gaining awareness that I have no clothes I tried to cover myself but I couldn't move.

"Hmm, That's what people call me, and since I can do anything even erase you, that's a suitable word for me." Said God in a mildly embarrassed and a somewhat threatening tone.

"Well if you're really god then you can put some clothes on me," I said trying to ignore the blatant threat.

"Humans and their false sense of security, sure since you're not going crazy which is surprising I'll gift you some clothes," He said with a sense of superiority. A flash of light enveloped my body and the most comfortable clothes I've ever felt was on me.Feeling out my body even my fatigue has been cured, if I wanted to I could even get up, but scared of getting pushed down again I remained motionless.

"If I may ask why am I here," I said finally asking the question I most desired.

"To answer that, answer this what is the last thing you remember?" Said the god in a playful tune.

" I remember talking to Rebecca then coming home and... no no nO NOO," I said now realizing what happened tears flowed out of me like a broken dam. The memory and the pain hit me like an avalanche. All of my bitterness and resentment multiplied as I thought of the arrogant asshole who trapped me here. They mixed together like poison amplifying their effect.

Overcome with rage and misery, all I could do was scream and cry.

"WHO THE HELL ARE YOU!!" I yelled spit flying out of my mouth.

"I'M GOD, YOU ARROGANT SWINE!!" The thing bellowed back amplifying his voice so loud that my eardrums threatened to burst. For a moment I couldn't hear. For a moment I couldn't hear, and something that previously thought impossible but another feeling was added into the mix fear.

\"W..hat d..id yo.. y,.. you do ..to m..me," I said while stuttering to the being whos might I just comprehended.

"Nothing much," Said god while laughing at my reaction.

"Now I'm sure you're wondering why your here and it's a long story so i'll shorten it down for you," Said god recalling why he brought me to this hell.

"I influenced your life so you would die early and then summoned your spirit here. One of my good friends needed to find souls to help her world residents destroy a rebellion, but honestly reviewing your life I found you extremely undeserving of this second chance at life. So instead of sending you, I found another soul that was much better fit for the job, someone that actually deserves this role. " Said God with a tinge of joy in his voice.

"Now I'm sure you want to know where that leaves you, I could revive you but that would come with a lot paper for violation interuniversal law, so I decided to reincarnate you where you would've gone before, but not as the hero, more of a animal. Since I technically have committed an offense against you, I am bound by interuniversal law to pay you back with something that you, the victim, wants. So I will give you one wish so hopefully, I won't have to do the hassle of destroying your soul and hoping no one notices your disappearance from the cycle of reincarnation. " Said God silighly pissed off attitude, at what, I could only guess

Holding my self back from shouting things that would even make a sailor red, I forced myself to calm down. What's is an ability that could help survive and improve in a foreighn world. I have no talent so it has to be something that can improve my body not relying on talent. Taking a few minutes I try to decide what should help in my next life.

"Hurry up, you only have one minute," Said god.

"Can you give me a system like a thing that could help me get stronger," I said sounding much more

"Hmm, it's a bit difficult but it's definitely interesting. I'll do it. Now before I have you reincarnated, I still have to give you the time to ask a couple of questions." Said God.

"Wh..Why do ... y... you find me so pitiful," I said to god screwing up half of my words.

"Well, look at yourself, besides eating, screwing, and shitting what else do you do. Honestly, calling you shitty is an insult to actual shit" Howled God falling into a fit of laughtar.

"But those are only a part of it, you've ruined hundreds of lives by defending criminals of all kinds, allowing them to commit crimes without problems, but that's still not your worse sin, when I sent down someone to collect your soul you seduced her stopping her from completing her mission, and not only that you caused my little angel to go completely insane, and that you son of bitch is your true sin.

I took in his sentence I couldn't help but chuckle out loud. The reason all this was because Emily was too attached, this is just hilarious.

The chuckle became louder and louder until it became an odd sort of sound, not laughter nor screaming. it was if complete and utter despair had a baby with a broken mind.. It was such an odd sound that there was no doubt that if you listen for too long you could go insane. I tried to stop my laugh as it gave even me chills but I couldn't it was if a demon took over my body. A demon that found my sanity and. Broke it.

Even as my body slowly turned into a wispy smoke, I could still hear it.

Even as my legs disappeared, I could still hear it.

Even as my arms disappeared, I could still hear it.

Even as my chest disappeared, I. could. still. hear. it.

Even as I lost consiouness, I. could. still. hear. it.

-------------- 1 year later ---------------

"Push PUSH," Said a foreign being. I have been in this dark place for what seems to be forever, but with no way to tell how many time has passed, I could only guess.I can't remember how many times I regreted d Only thing I knew for certain was there was another being in this dark place and I'm about to be born.

"Hurry up, we've got things to do," Said another different being with indifference. With a few more screams and some encouraging, I felt a strong tightening force around my head that was only strengthed by the space taken up the being next to me.

"I can see the head, I can see the head!" Said the 1st being in a happy voice, I paid no heed to this because at the moment the tightening force around my head is threatening to cause me to pass out, as it kept on getting stronger the threat almost became reality. Finally getting out of that dark cave I see two giants hovering over me.

"We're gonna need to clean you up," Said the 1st being as it lightly pulled me out and a loud voice started screaming "They're twins". I laid limp for a minute taking in the situation when the cry of my twin rang out it finally hit me, I was never coming back to my old life, if there was any chance of that happening that dissepeared now. Feeling such strong pain, and complete and utter despair joining my twin in tears was all I could do. Only to have my pity party cut short when something jammed into my mouth, and for the first time since I regained my thoughts, I slept.
