I had been making my way from work back to my college campus. It was a brisk Friday. The sun was setting, the wind was blowing, there was a chill in the air and the loud sound of traffic. It was around 8 in the afternoon as I was walking through the not so crowded streets. Although this city resembled an antfarm during the day, it was more like a barren desert when the sun went down, but I guess that's in my favor. I was crossing street to street, my headphones on, blasting my playlist as I went. The dark always freaked me out, but I find it to be better when I can't hear all the creepy stuff. Unfortunately, this meant that I also didn't hear the important stuff.....like the truck turning the corner.

Long story short, I died, and now I'm floating in this odd empty abyss. Technically there shouldn't be any sense of direction, but it's as if I can tell which way is up or down. It's not like I can walk around or anything, I'm just kinda stuck here. After floating for a minute this bright light appeared in front of me, blinding me temporarily. Once the light died down, I saw this guy, around my age with white hair and gray eyes. He wore these weird white robes, they were simple yet odd.
"OhmyimsosorryIdidntmeanforyoutodie!" He spoke really fast, his eyes shut as he apologized for my death in a panic.
"Woah! Woah, calm down."I said, trying to get him to take a breath.
"R-right, sorry." Geez, whoever this guy is, he's.....pathetic.
"You wanna explain what's going on?" I ask while crossing my arms.
"Uh, yeah, one sec." He snapped his fingers and in an instance we were in this limbo-like place. Instead of floating, there was a floor to stand on, but it was white like the nonexistent walls.
"Ahem, I'm Arin, or as you humans call me, God. Long story short....I had an accident and messed up. You...weren't supposed to die, sorry" He rubbed his neck in embarrassment as he stared at the ground, his voice getting quite as he said the last part.
"Okaaaay? So what happens now? Do I go up, do I go down? What is the plan of action?" I ask, still staring at 'God' skeptically.
"Actually, I have good news!" He said while looking up at me, clapping his hands together and smiling like a child.
"I'm going to send you to another world!" I stared at him for a good long while before going to speak.
"Wha-" He cuts me off.
"Off you go! If you need me, just text!" he snapped his fingers and the next thing I know I'm being sucked into a portal and spit out in the wilderness in the middle of nowhere. I had no idea where I was or what was going on, and the only thing in my possession....was a smartphone?
