"Snap!"

Jack was standing on the stage, giving his graduation speech. He was really happy and proud to have an opportunity to stand tall on stage.

"Snap!"

Jack got an offer from the top university in Germany. They offered him a full scholarship.

"Snap!"

His mother passed away due to breast cancer. He felt hopeless, as his dad had already passed away when he was only one.

"Snap!"

A short little girl caught Jack's eye. Her gorgeous eyes, her almond colored hair. The way she talks, the way she acts.

"Snap!"

Her name was Victoria. He brought her to prom. Her smile was so attractive. He cuddled her, she blushed like a cute little tomato.

"Snap!"

"Victoria, will you...uhh, marry me?"

There was him, super nervous, kneeling down on a leg, a bouquet of flowers in his arms. Victoria cried, the tears of joy were overflowing.

"Snap!"

"How about the name Christopher?"

"Snap!"

"Hun, I cooked your favorite dish!"

"Snap!"

"Stop splashing water on me! Aww stop acting like a child!!!"

"Snap!"

It's was a scene of both Jack and Victoria at the beach, giving each other a passionate kiss.

"Snap!"

Everything went pitch black.

"Wait...what's with all those memories?"

He found himself standing in the dark. Suddenly, a figure approached.

".....Mom?

He saw his mother standing in front of him, she was still young, just as how she was back in those years.

"Mom! I miss you so much..."

Jack ran to his mother's direction. To his surprise, his legs were held to the ground. There were heavy chains and locks.

His mother approached. She ran her hand on his head, smiling at him.

"My sweetheart, I'm here to take you out of all the trouble and pain. Here, give me your hand."

Jack just hugged his mother tight, just like what he did when he was a kid.

Suddenly, he felt himself became lighter and lighter. He saw his body lying on the bed in the room.

"Wait what the heck...I'm dead?"

Then, he saw Victoria sitting outside, with her tired eyes shut.

"Victoria..." Jack ran to see her. He caressed her face but to his surprise, his hand just went through her face.

"What the hell? Victoria? Can you hear me? Victoria!"

He screamed, but she didn't make any response.

"Jack, it's time to go." His mother finally spoke.

"Mom, please.... why? Why?? I need to be with Victoria... she needs me too..."

He broke down. He didn't care about anything, he just sobbed and sobbed.

"Jack, sweetheart, listen to me. I have to take you now. Please, okay?"

Jack looked up. He kept silence for a while.

"Mom, give me some time. Just a little."

His mother gave him an understanding look and nodded at him.
