I’m currently walking home after quitting my job. If I had to tell another person where the power button on their computer was, I was going to kill myself. I guess working an IT customer service job when I hate people was a bad idea.

I should just do as my sister says and get a job at her husband’s construction company. Sarah and Mark understand how I am so I don’t think they will make things too hard on me. How hard can manual labour be anyway?

As I turn the corner on to the main street I hear a scream aimed at me, looking in its direction I see a woman barrelling towards me shouting,

“RUN!”

“Huh?”

“Behind you!”

Spinning around I see a truck speeding my way, w-what? A truck? Seeing it coming towards me I become frozen in place.

The last thing I see before my world is drowned in pain is the woman jumping at me.

----------------------------------------

All I feel is pain.

I scream but nothing come out, I try to move but I can’t feel my body. All around me is pure darkness, is this hell? Am I being punished for my sins?

“Haha.” A deep voice booms. The pain stops.

W-who?

“Don’t worry Thomas, this isn’t Hell. As to who I am? It would be better to show you.”

As soon you as the voice stops the darkness around me shatters like glass, revealing an unforgettable scene. An infinite layer of blackness dotted with shimmering Stars of molten-gold and solar-yellow with Galaxies of gleaming light scattered all over, it is the most beautiful image I have ever seen.

*Cough*

“Ah!”

“Ha, you looked a bit distracted there boy. Let me introduce myself, my name is Shaun. I am what you would call, a God.” He said, Smugly.

This Shaun guy, or ‘God’, must be one of the most handsome people I have ever seen. He looks young, about mid-thirties? He is wearing black pyjamas with revolving star patterns that covers his pale skin, Eyes with purple irises and what I want to say is waist length white hair put up to into a messy bun.

I’m not into dudes but I can tell you this guy is hot.

“You done ogling me boy? Good. The quicker we can get this done the quicker you can reincarnate.”

“Reincarnate?! I Died?! But didn’t that woman push me out of the way?”

“Ah, well she tried to at least, but your death was unavoidable I’m afraid.”

“What?! Why?! I haven’t done anything bad enough to warrant that!”

“Sorry, I don’t know either. My job doesn’t involve the fate of souls, I’m more of a creator. For example, I created this area we are in now. You like?” He asked.

I sighed. “Yeah… It really is beautiful, but that doesn’t mean I’m going to forget that I was killed!”

“Pfft, that wasn’t my intention Thomas”, He chuckled, “Look behind you.”

I do as he says and look behind me.

“Eh? Earth?!” I exclaim.

“Look great right? It’s my greatest creation, it may not seem like it, but it is the most complex object in the Galaxy. I should know, I created that as well.” He said proudly.

“What? How can that be? Earth is just a planet how can it match up against a Galaxy?”

“They don’t even compare!” He shouted. “Do you understand how difficult it is to make life through macroevolution instead of just creating it?! A Galaxy is nothing! With a Galaxy all you need is enough power and to just make sure everything fits together!”

“Woah, sorry! I didn’t know! If it makes you feel better, I do think Earth looks great.”

“I know it does!” He huffed.

“…”

“…”

“…Do you mind if I ask what I am doing here?”

“Ah, right! You’re here to be reincarnated, it’s simple, just tap yes.”

Ding!

You have died! Proceed to Reincarnation? Y/N
