1. Beginning

It’s rather peculiar the way everything works and how impotent we are when it comes to the outer space. How come we haven’t found manners to fully explore what’s outside our planet, even though we’ve been living here (and getting fed up with it I might add) since forever. 

We do the same monotonous things every single day waiting for an inevitable end that sounds like a 50/50. I hope this is all wrong and we don’t actually end up either in Hell or Heaven and we instead get reincarnated as an animal. Imagine how cool it would be to be a duck. Peaceful and easy life, my type of life.

It seems like suddenly everything was. How does that even work, isn’t there something backstage!? 

I always find myself in this giant hall filled with statues and there’s always this goddamn cat, or I can’t seem to actually identify what this creature is, in the middle of it. I’ve been in this place for so much now that I’ve explored most of it, with no great success either.

It looks like this place is just pointless. All there’s to it it’s just the 6 statues and the cat. The most boring part however is that I cannot escape it, I’m literally imprisoned here till I wake up. Why is thi—

“What the hell” exclaimed Evelyn.

Okay, now that’s something worth waiting for. I’ve never seen anything like this before (or dreamt whatever). It seems like the cat is emerging out of the statue, wait that’s not a damn cat, I don’t even kno— woah, but it’s pretty darn adorable. It was too small overall, but it had features that I couldn’t possibly describe just yet cause they were too miniscule to notice from afar. The black red-ish skin was very spot on, and it’s head was practically bald. It had a tail too, with 4 legs; suprise surprise just like a cat. It was just too cute tho.

“Look bud, I have no idea what you’re trying to say.” said Eve “But it would be appreciated if you could come closer so I can pet you, it’s been rough dreams lately.”

Random Noises

I better get closer, this is the furthest I’ve gotten without waking up, and I’m not gonna let the opportunity slip away.

It’s trying to tell me something I’d rightfully guess.

The creature levitated and flew away in the darnkess.

Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions.

Great, it just ran away now. Well, some run won’t do me bad. Where is it even going, I thought I had searched everything in here and yet it seems that it knows way more. 

“Slow down, I can’t catch up.”

It seemed to have understood me since it stopped and pointed at something. For the life of me I couldn’t tell what was even going on cause everything was dark. The only thing that kept me going was that the creature was emitting light out of it’s body. Portable lamp, hope it doesn’t run out of fuel.

After some struggles I finally reached the room just to find the most amazing thing I’d ever seen.. My life has been pretty dull, and those dreams were the only thing keeping me excited. I had gone to a point where I had never been before and although I remember it being something that left me in awe, I woke up and now I can’t remember what it was.

I’m not even that sad, cause its still 2 AM and the night’s still pretty darn long.

Yeah great, I should’ve imagined it wouldn’t work. Maybe some water will do the work. Remember to stay hydrated kids. 

The way to the fridge is fairly far from my room and I was feeling very weak for some reason. It had never happened to me before, but I tripped. And as I fell on the floor I heard a click. The wall sort of vanished and there were some stairs leading down. This was the closest my life had been to somewhat exciting, so I’m not gonna ruin the fun just now. I could’ve woke my parents you may think, but my dad has been gone since I was a child, and my mother works basically 24/7 to ensure everything so she can take a well deserved rest.

The stairs were in a good condition apparently, which might mean two things: 

somebody takes care of things down here,

or they are just made of a pretty good material.

I certainly think the latter is more plausible.

Evelyn slowly decends just to find a door.

Mhm, it’s wide open. Perfect for me then.

She proceeds to enter.

Bloody hell, this isn’t just an ordinary room, this is a laboratory. I remember my mom telling me that my dad was somewhat of a scientist, but I never thought he had a laboratory. I’ve watched way too many movies to know where this is going. The room was pretty much filled with potions and the usual stuff you’d find in a laboratory. The thing that stood out tho was th—

AHHHH

A person appears in front of her.

“D-d-d-dad?” asked Eve

“I’m sorry to differ you young lady, but the Devil doesn’t have children.” said the Devil “However the prophecy seems to have been right. Who would’ve thought.”

“What is going on?” exclaimed Eve

“Everything will be crystal clear in a bit my darling” responded the Devil

And then everything went black. Pure black, a black I’d never seen in my life. Even if I would immerse myself in the deepest of oceans and lock myself there in the darkest of cages, I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t experience such darkness. It went on for a bit, I felt like I was moving, but I wasn’t actually moving. After a while I felt a shock, and as I was about to lay unconsious, I saw a light. A familiar light..

And then I woke up in a place I’d never thought real. Hell. It’s pretty easy to differentiate it from everything else. The place is everything you’ve always wished against. And I was there all alone..

But at least it did answer my question that there’s actually a coinflip after you die. Oh, that might mean..!?
