"So I am dead. It feels empty here."
Claude said to himself as he looked around at the empty void surrounding him. He thought he would meet Satan and be burned in hell, but he questioned himself.

"Where the hell am I?"
The thought of himself burning in hell has been playing in his mind. "I brought this all to myself."

"Wake up." A voice said to him,he look around the void to find nothing.

"Wake up, you murderer."

Suddenly Claude's eyes opened as he jolted awake, gasping for breath. His body was soaked in cold sweat, his heart pounding against his chest until he coughed up.

He remembered the sharp sting of the needle as the execution technician administered the lethal injection. 

But here he was, unexpectedly alive, his mind reeling. "Why am I still here?" he managed to croak out, his voice rough and weak. 

Claude's mind raced as he processed the words.

"A mistake? A medical anomaly?"
The reasons could be many, but the reality was singular and sharp—he was still alive, against all odds.
 
 
 

He couldn't believe it; he was still alive.

He checked his pulse for another confirmation and found it still throbbing.

"What the hell happened?" He asked, as his head was still recovering from shock.

"Oh, you want to know what happened,Claude? Hell doesn't want you, so I take you back to life to work for me. How did that sound?" The voice spoke to him again.

He looked around the execution room and found an active camera. He picked up a chair and threw it at the camera, but it didn't fully damage the camera.

"Hey, calm down, will you?"

Claude's breath got faster, and then he found an earpiece on a table next to the bed.

"Pick up the earpiece. You could hear better that way."
He then put the earplug into his left ear.

"That's better. Now listen to what I said, and I will guarantee your freedom. Now burst out through the door on your left."

Claude hesitated at first, but then proceeded to kick the door open.

He steps out of the back of the prison,and his body gets shivers looking at the damned and abandoned street.

The street was empty; there was no sign of people living there,no streetlamp, and the buildings looked like they had been left to rot.

Rats everywhere, making him want to go back to his cell, but he doesn't want to miss this golden opportunity. He walked further, looking at the shop and stall.

"Ah, by the way, Claude,you can call me Director. In front of the old souvenir shop,there is a Bulldog gang member guarding the way. I paid all these people from gangs to hunt you, menace of society, to cut you up."

Claude sneaks into a car and peeks at the gangster wearing thorny jeans and a black jacket.

"You know how to take down someone, right? Now make your way to an old, tall building two blocks from here. Now go!"

Claude takes a broken piece of glass and sneakily walks behind the gangster.

He held his breath, trying not to make a sound. Each step made his mind go crazy.

"Kill this bitch!"

"Stab his eye!"

"Don't do it; let's just run away!"
