I'm immortal: If I die, I immediately re-spawn in the closest safe location. Usually a few meters away, sometimes a few km away. I first figured it out when I was 3. The universe had it out for me. It wanted me DEAD.

The bad beginning went something like this…

I was watching TV. The show Spongebob, to be exact. But only about ¼ into the episode, when it cut to black, then static, then an ad. It wasn’t like a commercial. It was as sudden as when there’s a severe weather warning. And then I saw it.

There was a zoo as a backdrop and text on the screen “The best moments in life happen at a zoo” just then, my mother walked into the room as a hypnotic backdrop appeared behind the text.

My mom looked at me, with a look on her face that portrayed she was very, very into what was on the screen. Then the screen said “You can become an animal too, today!” and then Spongebob was back on the screen.

Suddenly mom grabbed my arm, “Come on, Agatha, we’re going to the zoo!” she said. When we arrived at the zoo she ran to the elephant enclosure, like she was brainwashed into going there.

What? Why was my mom acting so strange?? I ran after her. I didn’t feel anything. Just that I had to get to my mother. Just then I leaped over the ledge. And cracked my head open. But then, I respawned right in front of the railing.

Then, It was like my mom had just snapped out of a trance.

“AGATHA! AGATHA, YOU- YOU- YOU’RE DEAD!!!” she shouted.

Other people had seen the incident too. Just then, their pupils rolled back into their heads, and their heads spun ‘round and ‘round like a basketball player spinning a ball.

“Agatha? How did we get here,” she asked me, confused. And then I knew. I had superpowers, and I was immortal.

I did this for years, and if I ever felt down in the dumps, I could just kill myself. But in a time of global war, I died and respawned on a completely unknown planet, millions of light-years away.

Now, I think that the entire UNIVERSE is at war.

At first, I thought it was just my planet because to my knowledge my planet was at war. But I died and got teleported to a planet VERY far, far, far, FAR away.

But wait... does this mean that alien life exists? I'll have to find out.
