Chapter 01 Meeting with God

----Aaron PoV

When I finally opened my eyes I was floating in the outer space, or at last that was my opinion because the space was filled of particles, and every time I was able to concentrate my view on something I was able to view it perfectly, even if it was a particle capable of appear for only a moment before disappearing or a black hole at the other side of the galaxy, and that was ridiculous because I studied for years that black holes should be invisible and..."black" 

I was unsure about what I was watching but that...explotions, that...harmony...of colors I was sure that it was not the dull void space 

"You are completely wrong"

I turned with an inhuman speed to the other side of the... galaxy? Or at last 180° from the enormous black hole I was watching only to find nothing.

More that nothing, Nothing. Supposing that what I was watching was a space full of colors I was watching a delimited area of space devoid of colors and presences. it was not a black entity, it was more like a black hole, particles were dancing around and behind it but that space was "empty" no more..."invisible".

"Finally you're giving some correct answers"

Sherlock Holmes once said: <> so I asked the Being "May I ask if by chance you are God?" Inside I was sweating bullets, I read too many myth where a random god was angry with a human and metamorphosed him in an animal or destroyed him by accident

"AHAHAHAH you are too funny for being the last earthling in the universe" I heard a thunderous laughter and an immense pressure and I recognized my error

"Crap, he is able to read my thoughts" I then thought about his last few words, can it be that he really...

"Wow human you are sharper than I thought, you are definitely correct, after the votation, no, more immediatly after your vote I killed every human and destroyed every dangerous facility on your ex-planet, why, do you regreat making your choice?"

I was slighty stunned by the sudden revelation of the extermination of mankind but I quickly answered "No, is the opposite, I feel relived that they are unable to cause any more damages, but if I am allowed to ask, may I know why then this one is still alive? why this one is here? and even more, why right after this one vote You destroyed mankind?

[author note: I tried being the most formal possible in this lines, if you have better ideas feel free to say them in the comments]

Immediatly after I asked my question the colored particles around God started rotating and clustering together what appeared from the vortex was the faint outline but I was unable to process the whole immage, as if I was watching a low resolution video

"About the first question you are not alive, do you think that a human earthling would be able to talk in the outer space and perceive through the various dimensions? Ahahahah how amusing"

When I heard what he said I immediatly tried to see my body and I nearly killed myself in fear (only to remember that I was already dead). I could vaguely see the shape of my body but it was more a faint gray outline with colored bright points inside that the luminous body or void outline of god

Perceiving my question he then started speaking again

"Regarding our body the difference is massive; your souls are the faint outline you are seeing on yourself, shaped through your spirit and now with some element inside, while this vessel is merely a 'skin' that I wear to be seen by you, while before you were unable to see my because my existence is on a different level than your, if you see me with your current strengh your soul might shatter with a glance. Also please stop be so formal, I incorporate the law of Time itself, i'm not so childish to distroy the last earthling due to him being informal"

After he said that I immediatly calmed down, a deity can not lie to a mere human, right? But his next words made me terrified and a little guilty at the same time...and maybe a little excited

"About the reason of your summoning here is to curse you, maybe giving you some reward also, and is directly related to your vote"

Seeing how I froze and probably perceiving my thoughts he immediatly continued: " When I made the residents of Earth vote I fragmented the space-time continuum to make impossible for someone to influence others and to see the differents reactions; someone decided alone, others tried to threaten the nearly people, but I made impossible to influence the true plane of existence of humans. That made possible to made everyone choose in nearly the same moment without making impossible to see the vote of others. 

Yet you are the only intelligent being on Earth that used TWO WHOLE DAYS to decide, even I had some problem reconnecting the shattered continuum together and with the normal Time!" he continued without giving me enought time to process the informations "Also, until your vote the second and the third choice where equal, so, your decision doomed humans on Earth!"

I was stunned, did I really doomed the humans with my decision? But then a faint childish face emerged from my memory, and I thought: If to destroy those wretches I need to annihilate humanity that it was worth it!

"You, you...ARE YOU FUCKING CRAZY?!? You want to exterminate an entire race for your own revenge? HEAR MY WORD, IN MY NAME %&£%&, I CURSE YOU,  TO FEEL THE PAIN, THE JOY AND THE WHOLE LIFE OF THOSE THAT VOTED THE FIRST CHOICE AND THAT FOR YOUR OWN SELFISHNESS HAVE BEEN CONDEMNED TO DEATH! and now disappear from my sight!"

And feeling burning pain I vanished thinking that the glowing face in madness he presented in the last moment was similar to my lost friend.
