"Have you ever dreamt of becoming a super hero, Kenshi?"
A girl holding a piece of comic book looks at her little brother who's sitting next to her
The little boy shakes his head "Being a super hero is too much work, i just want to lay down all day"
The girl laughs, "Welp, i'm different, i've always wanted to be one. Maybe one day i can be just like them.." She stares at the page where the hero defeats the villain. ".. And you can be one too!" She starts tickling her little brother. The memory of the siblings playing chase fades away, everything is darkness then a flash of light comes out from a T.V, the light reveals a dirty room filled with trash, unwashed dishes and a person just lying down on the floor, his hand spams the next channel button on the remote control until he stops at the news to see that there are going to be a meteor shower tonight.
"I want to die..." The boy says as he stands up.
He goes to his room to change, he puts on a jacket and his flip flop. His hair is long and messy due to him hasn't wash himself for days. He pulls the hair up to tie them reveals a medical eye patch, maybe he has an injured eye. He opens his door, breaths in the cool air of the night, lock the door then starts walking out. He walks downstairs to his mailbox, it was full of hate letters calling a murderer, a cold blood monster, a disgrace... He walks past the mailbox and into the night.
Maybe i should die from hanging? No. Rope is expensive.. There's a big river near here, i can jump down from the bridge.. Yeah. Let's do that. No one will remembers me anyway..
He walks through the empty streets, to the big road and he keeps walking until he reaches to the bridge.
He looks down at the river, the meteor shower is happening, he can see them through the reflection of the river. What a beautiful night to die. He hops through the bridge's fences and goes to the cliff. He closes his eye and drops himself head first into the river.
The water is cold.
He can feel himself slowly losing air.
Everything is so dark.
"Heh.. If only there was someone out there who truly loves me.. Father, mother.. Sister.... I'm sorry." His last thought floats in mind as his conscious goes to black.
A spark of light appears in front of his eye. It reaches out to him with its hand, he raises his hand up for the light to grab him. It pulls him up and out of the water. "You are not going to die today" A voice comes out of the light.
It's so cold. What is happening? The light? Ah, i feel warm. It's like a hug. Sister. Is that you? Am i really in heaven now? Even after what i did to you?
He opens his eye to see himself lying on the river bank. He isn't dead.
The light stands on top of his head. It has a human physical body. "Kenshi, right?"
He gives a light nod
"I am God. And i have chosen you to become one of my horsemen."
"Hor-" Kenshi starts coughing the water out of his mouth. He sits up and hits his chest with his right arm. "Hors- cough cough Horse what?"
"My horseman" God answers
"You will be granted the duty of protecting humanity from the evil forces of demons"
"And in return, i will grant you the wish of being loved"
"Y-You can do that cough cough for me?" Kenshi's eye gives a spark of light
"Then do we have a deal? Be my horseman and your wish being loved will come true" God reaches his hand out for a handshake. Kenshi is a bit hesitated at first but then slowly grab God's hand.
