Karl and Ashley are two complete strangers stuck in the same day July 22nd, until one day Karl walks into a coffee shop and sees the dirty blond sitting by the window. Little does he knw that today is the day that Ashley dies but some force has deci...
Everything had felt off that first time. The first time the day had repeated itself. The feeling was odd, like deja vu. Most people would've hated it but I loved it. I loved it because I didn't die, because July 22nd, my forever, was the day I died.
That first morning of July 22nd had started like any other day. My elder sister had called me and lectured me on how I was 22 and not in a relationship and never had been. I told her there was no need for a relationship when I was already dying. I was a literal ticking time bomb I had told her.
I had been born with a rare disorder called Brugada Syndrome. It causes abnormal heart palpitations and can cause my heart to just stop suddenly with no warning. I had died on July 22nd at 11:59pm. It was a peaceful death in my sleep there was no pain no long drawn out dying I just stopped as if someone had pressed pause on a movie. everything would just go black and that would be it I'd be gone. I knew this because the second time I had died I stayed up waiting for it. It almost felt like you where falling slowly and then nothing.
It was cool the first couple of times but now I died everyday and it was getting old. Everything happened the same way everyday. I'd open my eyes at 8:45pm, and I'd hear my room mate break a bowl downstairs. She'd clean it up and leave shortly after, slamming the door behind her. The entire time I'd stay in bed not wanting to deal with the world or anything else especially not the call from my sister that came promptly at 9:00am.
Today I have relived my death 30 times now. I got out of bed and put on some clothes opting that it wouldn't be as good if I went out in sweat pants and and t-shirt. I got dressed in this.

I grabbed my keys and my wallet and a piece of bread and ran out to my car only once I had started it did I remember I had left my phone and earbuds in side. I quickly hopped out and ran back inside I grabbed them again and walked out. I bought a Monster at a gas station near my house. I thanked the cashier and pushed past the rich guy walking in quickly lifting his keys. I got into the nice car outside and dove to a coffee shop a couple blocks away I ditched the car and went inside.
