Love is a Laserquest

Chapter 6

I was dead now, wasn't I?

I heard someone humming softly right beside me. I could change it all. This was my death not theirs. The voice didn't go away, it stayed the same even though I wished for it to disappear. This was a joke I thought. So I can't even decide over my own afterlife. So I raised my voice

''Excuse me sir can you lower your voice, this is my afterlife not yours.''

The voice beside me stopped humming and got all stressed, I heard a door slam and everything got quiet again.

Finally, peace is won.

It all felt like a dream, my dream. I haven't seen my mum yet but I will meet her soon enough. A voice interrupted my dream, my thoughts. And it said

''Jupiter are you awake?''

Awake? What did it mean? I am dead, I am happy and have finally found peace in death.

''Open your eyes Jupiter.'' But I couldn't, they were as heavy as rocks. My mind was clear but my body couldn't move. Why was it like this?

''Who are you? And what are you doing in my afterlife if I may ask?''

''You are in the hospital, you never died.''

''That is not true, I am dead. My body is just here to represent me physically. I remember my suicide clearly. Peace is won.''

''Death is not a valid escape Jupiter, I'll be back soon.''

I was lost. I lost the war.
