akira's rebirth

rebirth

Akira was walking down the street, his blond hair softly swaying in the wind and his brown eyes looking around through the streets as the wind blew harshly and the rain poured.

One rather violent shove of the wind and Akira's umbrella blew out of his grasp. He groaned as he knew he wouldn't be able to buy another for a few weeks. He looked back to try and relocate it but couldn't make out the lost umbrella. Deciding to just leave it, he pulled his hood over his head and continued down the path to his apartment grumbling to himself as his hoodie gets soaked by the rain.

 Akira reached into his pocket and pulled out his keys. He placed the key into the keyhole, twisted the doorknob, and opened the door. Once he stepped inside he took off his hoodie and placed it onto the clothing rack. his apartment is pretty small, a small grey couch sits in front of a tv on a nightstand. the walls a pastel green making the small apartment feel cozy. 

the walls to the hallway have two shelves with random books on them mostly about mystery and fantasy themes.After he made sure the door was locked he placed his keys onto his counter and started to his room, not even bothering to close the door he changes into his pajamas which is a T shirt and a clean pair of boxers. he flopped onto his bed almost immediately falling into a deep slumber.

Randomly during the night a loud boom awoke him and not even moments later boiling hot air hits him, then he feels the fire the pain crawls up his body and the familiar burning sensation explodes throughout his body causing him to cry out in pain. luckily for his sanity not long after the burns turn numb having burned all his  nerves, he can't even close his eyes as they exploded due to the heat of the explosion along with his eyelids. he feels death creeping up and he doesn't even attempt to fight it.

once he awaken he realizes that he has no idea why or how he is conscious as he is sure he just died. Soon he got the courage to open his eyes. All he saw was an empty black void; Akira immediately tried to move and soon realized that his body was made out of smoke, or at least a flowy whitish grey substance that looked similar to smoke.

He seemed to float as there is no actual floor for him to stand on. after he found out he was able to move around even if just barely.After a few minutes of just siting there that seemed like hours even if it was only about 20 minutes a figure a bit further in the void appeared.

Akira slowly approached them and softly spoke his voice warbled. "Hello, do you happen to know where I am?"

"Yes my child, you are in the void and as you already know You have died." the figure speaks 

akira nods even if a bit sadly "is this what the after life is like just in the void?" akira asks a little disappointed but not complaining as if could be worse. the figure shakes it's head and akira sighs in relief even if the relief is slight. 

"when you died your soul was sent to the void by the grim reaper usually  you would go straight to your new life but your a rather new soul and it hasn't been through the process just yet, anyways when someone or something dies its soul doesn't die with it, instead it sort of recycles and goes into a new body which the soul will continue to live on until they die once more and the process repeats "

akira  nods in understanding as his vision starts to blur The figure claps their hands. And Akira's vision turned to black.
