Today was a special day for me, instead of my usual night time routine of sitting at my desk playing video games I was in a grocery store.

The reason being I'm low on food and I need that to live.

I could of had the groceries delivered, but that cost money. Plus I don't get that much human interaction, especially since I work remote and I'm a self-proclaimed shut in.

Self-proclaimed because I don't mind interacting with people and going outside, but why bother, I already have a job and online friends to game with, I don't feel that much value in adding more people or activities into that equation.

Walking down the street with a few too many grocery bags in my hands and music in my ears, it was peaceful.

It wasn't just night, but also a weekday, so not many people we're out and about, making it feel like I was in my own world.

As I was walking across the street, one of my earbuds slipped out my ear and fell onto the road.

"Dammit, these roads are dirty as hell."

As I was begruntling trying to pick up my ear bud from the road with too many grocery bags in my hand, my other ear bud was still playing, but suddenly another musical tune entered my free ear.

'Is that ice cream truck music?'

Darkness

I could feel my eyes were open, but I couldn't see anything around me, it was pitch black everywhere, I couldn't feel my body, I couldn't feel my face, all I felt was a drift in this void, with my thoughts.

'Fuck, did I really die to an ice cream truck, actually, I think it was just a food truck that bought an ice cream truck to use for business, which doesn't make what happened any better.'

'So this is death. . . . . . it's fucking boring.'

'I don't know how long I had been looking at only darkness, but I'd have to is this is purgatory since they're isn't anything going on.'

The narrative has been taken without permission. Report any sightings.

'Dammit if this is what I'll have to deal with for eternity, I'd rather be in hell, at least then I would get to push a boulder up a hill.'

'Another thought crossed my mind, what if I'm not dead, and I'm just in a coma, that could be plausible.'

'Yeah, there's no way I would die in such an embarrassing way, my head probably just bounced off the asphalt weird when I got hit and I'm currently lying in a hospital bed.'

'Any second now I'll wake up in a hospital, surrounded by. . . . .'

'Wait, who will even be there.'

'My parents are gone, I've never had a girlfriend and my only friends are online.'

'Maybe one of my coworkers but I've only ever talked to them online, when they invited me to go out, I never went with them, they don't know me enough to want to sit by my side.'

'I never tried to make relationships, I never tried to improve myself, I never devoted to anything, I never strived for a better life, I never found my purpose, I lived a life of lonely mediocrity.'

'why. . . . . .'

'I don't want to die like this, I don't want to be unfulfilled and alone, I want to have expectations, live up to them and die surrounded by people I love.'

'Fuck it, when I awake, I'm gonna make a change, I'm not gonna live directionless, I'm gonna find love and happiness, I'm gonna live an amazing life.'

'And to start my new life, all I have to do is wake up from this coma.'

'Any second now. . . . . . . . . . .'

'Just any second now and I'll be awake. . . . . . . . . .'

'Fuck this might actually be purgatory.'

Finally, after what felt like an eternity, I regained my senses one by one and I was able to groggily open my eyes, and what I saw was the sky?

'Shit, it's daytime, have I been laying in the street the entire night?'

But that's impossible, because instead of laying on hard asphalt, I was on grass.

'Somethings definitely wrong.'

Eventually I was able to sit up and I noticed I was at the top of a grass hill and below me was a city surrounded by giant stone walls with a castle slightly popping over the top.

"Holy shit, I've never seen anything like that on Earth, so. . . I died."

"This is a new world"

"That's-'

"That's not bad, actually this is good, this is great, I have a brand new life and I won't waste it like I did with the last one."

"I'm going to work hard, achieve my goals, experience the world and it's people, and most importantly I'm gonna make my own harem, I died without ever having a girlfriend in my past life, but in this life, I won't miss out on love."

"Those are my ambitions."

"Also not dying from a truck again."
