KARMA
"WAKE UP, KARMINA. STAY WITH ME."
But the girl was somewhere far away, in a different place. She could hear the pleas of the woman that called out for her, begging her to wake up and stay conscious. But it was hard to do it willingly knowing that waking up meant that all the burdens such as loss and the excruciating hole in her chest would all rush back like a slap on the face. She would have to experience it all over again. She didn't want that. Everything was different now, somehow, Karma vaguely remembers drowning and then being used as a human shield, and from that point on everything was just a giant blur. She didn't even know where she was.
But there was something extremely rare about this place, Karma felt like she was dreaming but she was completely lucid, she was highly aware of all her surroundings including the sweet melody that played in the background almost absently. Her hazel eyes marveled at the purity of the place, the sky and ground were one, flashes of prism colors erupted in the sky covered in thick clouds casting a magical mist. The whole place was illuminated by a light that hid behind the sea of clouds, the temperature was fresh, the place could be described in only one word: perfection.
And then it occurred to Karma, what if I'm dead?
"Deve ser o paraíso, então." Karma thought out loud, her eyes strictly trained at the beautiful prism lightning that displayed above her as if they were Borealis lights. This must be heaven then.
"Isto é." And that's when the real magic actually occurred, her bleeding heart skipped a beat and her heartstrings tugged at the organ aggressively. She slowly looked down from the sky and managed to make out the silhouette of Praga in the distance. "And you shouldn't be here. At least not yet." It is.
