As I look around at the smiling faces i bump into someone and I just see the guy who died a few days ago in a wreck starring back.

"I .. my bad"

Thats all I can say, seeing the man who I saw died on the news, and as I try to think strait again I hear from behind me, "Hay new neighbor, its nice to have that house filled, im Carl".

He reaches out to grab my hand and I almost fall back.

"Are you ok new guy?"

"Carl Winters right, ... im James Hamilton"

"How do you owww, you lived near me your that guy who had the pregnant wife right. im so sorry"

"But she's alive why do you sound like shes dead"

"Face it, who knows how long it will be before she dies, and you get to see her again".

I realize his words and I finally realize, time does pass the same here, so he is right who knows how long it will be, before I get to see her again,.

and after the realization i say, "Well nice to meet you Carl"

"You too James".

We shake hands and i continue my walk, after a few hours I get back home and sit down and take it all in,

"That was my first day hear 19 years ago, my wife has moved on, and I kind of hate it here now, the only good thing was Carl, but he moved up town so now its just me,

The guy I was talking to across the restaurant table says, "That sucks, well my name's Amon after all, if you really want to go back to the living we can make a deal James"

I look up at Amon, his hood he had on now off, two big red horns coming from his head.

"You your a demon".

I drop my fork on the floor.

"Yes, now do you want to go back or no, make a choice James" Another figure appears, the face is somehow masked by a white mist, and there's a Halo above the girls head.

"We want you to do some work for us, but to do so you need to fall from grace, so can we have your grace, James"

I get up from the table and realize, I'm not in a good position in the slightest.

I sheepishly asked "do I have a choice?".

Amon looks at the girl who shakes her head and then looks back at me.

"Not at all".

With that he jumps across the table grabbing a bright light out of my chest and ripping it out, and then it all goes black.
