Spinning. Buzzing. Darkness. Noise. A constant noise. All light was drained from the room as he fell. Spinning deeper into the dark abyss as buzzing filled his ears.
And then there was light.
He opened his eyes. He was at a table, arms crossed under him as if he had fallen asleep after lunch. He heard quiet humming as a tap turned on.
There was a familiar figure stood washing the dishes. She wore a long beautiful black dress and a hat that shrouded her face in darkness.
The humming stopped as she let out a small humored gasp. "Oh, you're awake," she said in a voice that was as smooth as honey.
He nodded, wanting to ask questions but no words came out. "Well you should head it to the garden, it's rude to keep him waiting, you know." He once again nodded, still very confused. She reached over and patted his head, "Have fun, sleepyhead."
As he walked out, he heard two different snores coming from somewhere within the house. He opened the door to see a small stone awning that lead to a small white fence with a cute gate. He walked over and looked about. From on the awning everything seemed normal, but if he steeped between the gate and the stone and onto the small grass patch, the sky was black.
Suddenly, a small child rushed up to the other side of the gate. He grinned, blue eyes shinning in the sunlight. He seemed maybe six. "Come on, Wilby! I've been waiting for you to come and play for years!" They young one said.
And then it hit him.
Slowly, he gave a soft smile to his brother who had died at three. The one he hadn't seen in three years. He reached over and opened the gate, stepping inside the garden. "Ok, Toms, whatever you want."
Extra Info
Spoilers in you want to leave it for interpretation (Which I'd love to hear!):- the snoring is from Technoblade and Philza
-Mumza was the lady cooking as she is death in this
- Most people get a punishment or a void, but this is her dream home. It's a cozy cottage with a large garden.
-Anyone I'm the family who is not dead appears as if they are sleeping. This is due to Lady Death's wish to be a family again. Unfortunately, after Tommy was born she had to go back to the void/afterlife to avoid disappearing.
