"Ace! Please... " A faint voice yelps, I attempt to look toward the voice but I can't move. What's going on? Everything fades into black for about a second, then I'm standing in the middle of a room.

"Hello." A masculine voice booms behind me, I whip around to be met with a tall man, He looked like a void. He practically had no skin, As it was replaced with air. He wore a suit, It was a neat-looking suit. "You are in the Afterlife. Here, You will be free to do practically whatever you want. " He says, making what I assume is a jazz hand gesture. "Okay... " I mumble, looking around. I guess I can move again. It looks like I'm in a hospital room or a look-alike. "Who are you?" I ask looking towards the figure but he was gone.

"Helloo?" I call out, sitting down on the floor. I sigh, fiddling with my fingers. "Okay then." I groan. Bro just disappeared. It'll be alright, I get up again and begin walking and inspecting everything.  pretty painting of an angel hanging on the wall and a little fake fruit bowl on a dresser underneath.

I step towards the door, Wrapping my hand around the cold metal handle. I pull open the door and see that I'm in my bedroom again.

Am I just hallucinating?

It's clean in here and smells good. Kinda like Clorax wipes. I walk up to my collection sets, They're dust free and are all in one piece. Which was not how I left it. I glance around the room again. My bed is made and the sheets are clean. My floor is freshly mopped and swept. The bookshelf is organized and neat. The holes in the wall are gone, not just covered up by my posters. What is going on?

I briskly walk across the room and swing my door open, to show the house as clean and empty as ever. I walk across the hall to reach my younger siblings' room and knock, loud silence following. My hands grip the handle, jerking it aggressively. It won't budge. "Damnit." I spit, rushing towards my fathers' room. His door won't open either. "well. Fuck me...I'm alone." I groan, plopping down on the couch in the living room. I lean my head up slightly and notice a piece of neatly folded paper sitting on the coffee table in front of me. 

Grabbing the paper and sloppily unfolding it I read;

"Hello Ace, This is The Afterlife Management, I have to inform you that this is the Afterlife. Here, you shall do whatever you please. You will be alone in your house until your family members die and join you here. No, there is no heaven or hell, It's just a medium where you can live but not exactly live. Here you get five lives and unlimited possibilities and things to do. Once you use up those five lives, You will never wake up and your room shall stay locked until you are replaced with someone else. Now that that is said, There are only two rules. 1 being don't kill anyone, and 2 being don't cause anyone else too much trouble. Have a good time in the afterlife! 

-Signed Management."

I hold the note in my hand, spacing out while staring at it. "How fun... " I sigh and head to the kitchen. Opening up the cabinets I find that it's full of the same old stuff. Boring old stuff. I look around the kitchen, wiping my hands over the same old painting that has always been there. I sluggishly walk to the front door and peel it open, glimpsing outside. A city? How interesting. Heading out, I take a look around, there's so much. So much people, places and things. Now that's an interesting sight, A girl with a box on her head walks up to me.

"Hi! My name is-" she stops, looks around, and walks away. I turn around to find nothing, absolutely nothing. It's just grass. And the sky- what's happening?
