Ordinary is Sometimes Extraordinary

Beginning of A Journey, Set out for Shells Town

Everything is so dark,

I Can't see anything.........oh that's right I'm dead.

Wait what!?

 My eyes shot open, heart racing I looked around,  I was lying down in a pitch black space, couldn't see anything in front or next to me. Raising a hand I looked at it perplexed waving it in front of my eyes. The appendage was still visible. 

Okay what!? 

I might fall asleep sometimes in class, but was still a straight A student, and know for a fact that light does not work that way.

"Where am I?" My voice shook with fear as I sat up slowly looking for anything in the dark space.

"Am I dead?" Don't know if I was expecting an answer from the darkness, maybe from spirits of the dead, God, Hades, the devil? At this point any of them would do.

Wait dead?

"AHHHHHHHHHH!"

Wait calm down I might just be in a coma... or this was all just a bad dream I mean I've certainly had weirder.

Thoughts raced through my head and I stood up shakily before pacing in circles and breathing really hard. Raising the hand again,eyes focused in on the tan skin. Little lines marred the skin in horizontal strokes and there was a slight raising right where the knuckles and joints were. It was far too much detail for an atypical dream.

Well only one way to be sure.

Before I could second guess myself I swung back with the raised hand 

SLAP!

"Oww!" The stinging in my right cheek confirmed this was  not a dream.

Oh great I'm dead, Mom is going to kill me for not coming home.

Oh god mom.....

My parents were still probably waiting for me to come home not knowing what had happened to their daughter. Dad sitting in the family room working on his tiny desk in front of the T.V, being the first to greet me with a "Hey Fae". Mom from upstairs insisting he use my full name, and Cole my little brother giving me a nonchalant acknowledgement from his video game, as our little dog Pebbles scrambled and skittered across the wooden kitchen floor to jump on me with excited yips.

I would never get to see any of them again and Minerva would be stuck without her third wheel for Homecoming, I fought the urge to cry.

"A wish has been made and must be fulfilled."

Jumping up in shock, I landed very unsteadily due to the lack of visible ground. A voice, silky smooth and strangely melodic, startled me out of my thoughts.

"What was that, hey is someone out there?" I frantically looked around the dark for the origin of the voice.

If someone was here with me, then maybe they could explain what the hell was going on.

"A wish to a soul who feels unimportant, but just maybe they will see the worth in every life, even one's own."

The heck kind of mumbo jumbo is that? I screamed internally as I processed what the voice was saying.

"Hey! What do you mean unimportant? Am I dead, where do I go?" I questioned out loud.

"Get to the end, the last stop, to return"

"Last stop?" This voice is insane where am I supposed to go, what stop, a bus stop?

"A good soul deserves a reward, try not to die." The voice continued ignoring my questions.
