Till We Meet Again

chapter 2

100 years later ~

It was a dark and ominous night paired with a dull sky. Threatening thunders and violent lightning could be seen and heard through out the city.  It was as if the havens were sending a warning for the tready that was about to happen.

At this said city, in a small apartment lived a girl who only could be described as mundane, the normalest of normal. She wasn't the most beautiful but she wasn't the ugliest. She wasn't the smartest out there but she was also not dumb. She was financially stable and had no dreams and wishes so she didn't have the need to work hard in live. She was neither ecstatic nor depressed.But she loves being alive she feels contented with her life, she likes the way she is lives her life. Many have asked her why she lives her life like this with no emotional ties or passion.

Her reply was simply simple , " if this world was a novel I would rather not be the female lead who embodies righteousness and justice or the villainess who trys to change her fate, I would be a character with no name peacefully fading into the background. I find freedom and pace living like this I am satisfied living without constant worries".

Many would hate such a gloomy and cold night but not Mary she loves night like this and today was a bit more special for her since if was her 21st birthday. She had the whole day planned out starting the day with a glorious
Breakfast which were her favorite pancakes which she had ordered from her favorite fast food outlet. Mary hated the idea of spending her money but she loves to spoil herself especially on days like this.
After binging the BL drama she was so in love with Mary finally decided to prepare dinner as is was already past 8 p.m. and she was starving due to the tiny fact that she forgot to eat lunch as she was too invested in the drama.

Mary began to prepare a feast for herself. She made her favorite spicy shrimp noodle, cucumber salad, fried wontons and chicken wings. She might have made too much food but that didn't bother her as the left-overs will be her lunch for the next day.

It was 10 p.m. now as Mary move up to her apartment rooftop . The night sky was a sight to take in as it shines with bright city lights along with the company of the pale crescent moon which glows like a silvery claw in the night sky. Mary felt that this was the perfect place to cut her birthday cake which she spent hours in a queue to buy. Everything seemed so perfect, Mary felt so happy she loves her birthday it made the whole day the best and she felt her so contented with being alive.

Mary found happiness in the smallest and Simplist things, she was trying her best to live life to the fullest. But she didn't know this will be her very last birthday as Mary and the doom which was awaiting her.

The time was about 11.59 p.m. Mary ate about one-forth of her birthday cake and she was stuffed.  She decided to walk around the rooftop to digest all the food she ate before she heads to bed to sleep. The night air was a bit chilly but it was still pleasant for her, she stood there in the rooftop taking in the beautiful night view of the city when suddenly she heard barking outside the rooftop. She opened the door to welcome the cute little creature in, it was Scott her neighbor's puppy. Scott happily ran around the rooftop he looked like he was having the time of his life. It was getting late for bed and Mary knew the her neighbor must be panicking looking for Scott so she decided to bring Scott back. As she went near Scott to pick him up he started barking violently and ran away from her. As she tried to catch him he kept running away from her. Mary didn't even realize how near she was to the edge of the roof and even before she could blink Scott bit her leg, Mary jumped back in shock and hit her back on the
railing and fell off the rooftop. Even before Mary could process what was happening she was dead.

Everything was black. Mary felt light as if she was floating in air, she tried to move her body but she felt nothing. It was like she was floating in a paralysis state in the abyss, it was weirdly comfortable.
