Is This the Afterlife? (Old Version)

Time and Sorrow

I slowly opened my eyes and felt the blinding rays from the sun. I lifted my hand to shield my eyes as I slowly got up. I felt something on my waist and looked to see Dustin hand their. I smiled and slowly moved his hand away. As I stood I yawned and stretched out a bit. Turning around, I saw Mikey and Shena sleeping on the floor. I giggled a bit, but made my way to the doors.

When I reached the doors, I glided my hand down the door and smiled feeling the smooth, hard wood. The one thing that bother me though was that the wood was warm. Narrowing my brows together, I shrugged, placed both hands on the door and pushed it opened. As I did, I felt the warm rays hit me, as I walked out into the front of the church. My eyes shot opened as I see loads of cars parked in the parking lot. I watched as people got out and started heading my way into the church. As they walked, people went left a small path for me, like I was really there or something. Slowly I walked down the path, feeling confused. I heard a loud ding and turned around to see up on the church a bell swaying side to side making the ding. I watched as people rushed to get inside the church and then slowly the wooden doors shut. I felt my mind running in question, but ignored them.

I then turned around and started making my way to the back of the church. As I rounded the corner, I saw small graveyard surrounded by a fence. I shuddered remembering the lost world and seeing my dead family faces again. I shook my head removing that memory and slowly made my way towards the graveyard.

Yes I remember Dustin warning not to go into the graveyard alone, but this isn't night time. I slowly walked up to the first grave and read it: 'To my dear best friend and husband Jake Norton. 1974-1999.' I bowed my head in respect and made a silent prayer. I then looked at all the other graves and and made a prayer to them. I don't know why, but I did.

As I kept walking down the graveyard, I looked up into the beautiful sun feeling the warmth and happiness coming from. But the more I looked, the more I felt something depressing and cold come. Looking around in a panic, I watch as the world slowly went from colorful to shade of grey. I felt a cool breeze go by me and rubbed my arms as I felt my goosebumps rise. My breathe quicken, but the scary part of that was I could see my breathes and that's when I felt it.

Something cold and dark was heading my way and obviously, it knew I was here. The presence of it surrounded me, but as it got closer, I could sense the direction it was coming from. Fear started to take over, but something else was fighting my fear off. While I was figuring out what was conflicting with my fear, a dark shadow past right in front of me, making me fall on my butt. My eyes adverted up and my eyes widen as I looked at the thing.

It was human... like with brown hair, grey eye, and a albino skin color. It was dressed in a tuxedo with an old fashion clock watch in his hand. He flipped it opened and I watched as everything around just... stop.

"Hello there, Sarah," it said. I stood up and backed away slowly from him. It looked down its watch and tsk. "Time is short you know that." It closed the clock and stuck in his pocket. "Oh, excuse me for my manner. My name is Dor." He reached out his hand for me to shake. I looked at him as a crazy man. He pulled back his hand and looked at me with his grey eyes.

"What brings Dor into my presence?" I covered my mouth not understanding why I just said that. Dor walked around me, stalking me.

"You see, Sarah, you were suppose to 'live'. That what I saw in my watch." He stopped and patted his pocket. "The problem was, you didn't but instead died." His face darken, with his lips in a thin line. I read his expression and man I was in trouble. He took in a deep breathe. "Erebos was fool, but I am not." He took out his watch and flipped it opened. "Seems to me," he looked at me his eyes black, "your time is up."

I watched as everything around me turned into a rumbled. The building collasped, the graveyard turned to dust, and every living thing vanished into ash. I looked around all over, fear taking a hold on me as I watch everything turned to dust. I heard Dor laughed as the world rot.
