Forgotten Memories

Prologue

Seems like I'm am floating into nothingness. As I was dazing into the white space that surrounds me, I recall...

"Please, don't leave us! Hang in there!"

"Why do you have to leave us!"

"Please Amanda, it is not your day yet!" 

"Amanda, please think about the people you are going to leave behind!" I heard that person crying along with the others.

But, if I remember, I was in that bed, and my eyes started to close as I watched those same people gazing down at me with tears in those sad eyes. As I start to lose the feel of my body, I start to leave the world into the nothingness that I am currently in.

Until someone called out to me and," Hey, Amanda?

I open my eyes and was looking at the strange person with a white cloak staring at me.

I said," Who are you? I thought that this was heaven? Aren't I'm dead?"

The man chuckled," You are not dead my dear."

"What do you mean? If I am not dead, then what are you doing here?"

"My name is Grant, and I am here to deliver a message to you from above."

I replied," From above?'

"Yes, I was sent here from the great god from the heavens in order to give you a second chance. You see, even if you are supposed to be dead, the big guy up there has shown some pity in you. He thinks that you should have lived longer, but it was a change of fate that you had to die. He saw your loved ones in despair as you were dying, and he also thinks it is not your time, yet. And, since it was a change of the wheel of fate, he has given you a choice to live in the real world, alive. 

"If what you are saying is correct, then how do I accomplish this?" I questioned.

"You are a sharp one, I see. Well, you have to do this task that requires you to go back to your world, and make your close ones remember you."

I smirked," Sound easy enough. I can handle this and accomplish this in no time."

He gives me a glare," It is actually a tricky task. First, you have a time limit to do it before the time runs out. Second, they have amnesia, so they won't remember the memories they share with you."

I said," So, my friends won't even remember the good memories we shared at school, and all the fun times? 

"Yes, and there are also things that you should remember while carrying about this task. While it is true that you have to make them remember, you just need one person to say that they remember you and you would complete the task. However, if even one person says that they recall you are dead, then you would fail your task, and vanish from the world, then go to your resting place in heaven."

I gulped," So, how many days do I accomplish this?"

He gives me a small smile," You have 365.25 days or a year to fulfill this mission of yours. I wish you the best of luck, miss Amanda."

I shivered while thinking, "If I succeed, then I can still live, Right? Although, there was also that warning he told me about if someone mentions me being dead... No, I cannot think like that! I have to make at least one person remember me, then I can be at home. And I have to do this in a year before time runs out."

While I was lost in my thoughts, Grant said," Oh, and one more thing."

I looked at him and hope he won't say anymore bad news about my task.

He smiled," Don't worry and do your best. I also hope you are going to join the heavens. So, take this watch. The watch contains the amount of time you have left to complete your task before it reaches 0. 

I looked at the watch that said 365 which meant that will be the time limit before the end.

Grant points me to a door which it looks like a way out of the nothingness that surrounds us.

I take a step forward towards the door and I start to wonder if I will make my task a success. 

Erasing those thoughts aside, I step into the light that the door emits and what lays beyond the light will be where I will start my task that will help me live again.
