I am the one who took the easy way out.
Yes I know, funny story huh?
You see, I was given a second chance and I blew it.
Here's the story.It was sunny out, really sunny, I could smell the first blossoms of may spreading joy throughout the town. I was happy I was actually happy.
I was strolling along the cobblestone road and humming to a song I heard the previous morning.
'Hmmm mnmmm mmm mm mm mm'
A man came up behind me.
"Are you Marcus?"
"Yes, I am,"
"Why not you just follow me,"What I didn't tell you is that I was abused my whole life. My mother would tell me things would get better, they didn't, so I ran away. When I did, I never went back and to this day I don't know what happen to my mom, the regret is eating me alive.
"You know how your moms doing? She knows how your doing, she's upset, you left her to die,"
'Die, is she dead, how would he know?'
"I can hear your thoughts, and I'm just saying, your mom and I are very close, very," he smirked at me. I felt at that moment disgusted.
"Look kid, I can already tell you don't like me, which is okay, I hate kids, but anyways, I'm an angel for the 'AAA' (agency of angel appearances,) I help them disguise as humans,"
"Okay..."
"Anyways, your mom has requested to see you. So I'm afraid I'm gonna have to give you a choice,"
"What are my options?"
"To see your mom, forever and never have to leave, or to rescue her and never see her again,"
"What?"
"She's a slave, if you see her I'm gonna have to kill you and I'm gonna make you a slave too, or the easier way is to pay me 3,000 dollars and I'll make her a slave no longer, but you won't ever get to see her again,"
"Wow, ummm..."
"I know, it's a hard choice Marcus, but I need it soon, like in a few seconds,"
"Okay, umm I'll give you the money, here,"
"Thanks,"Everything went dark after that.
"W-where am I?"
"Your here! Oh my son, my handsome son!"
"Mom!!! Wait, this is bad,"
"Why is it bad sweetie?"
"Because, I'm dead, aren't I?"
"Nope, I am a figment of your imagination,"
"What?"The whole world went spinning. Where was I actually?
"Hey buddy, don't worry, it's going to be okay, your with me now,"
'Ouch,'
"Hah you believed me, this will be fun."
I was put on some kind of torturing device, I had to stop this.
"Where am I?" I asked.
"Well, your in hell,"
"What? Why can't I see you, I want to see you,"
"Not until I break you, you're a vigorous soul,"'Satin,'
I thought to myself.
He pulled a large stick out of the ground and the lights of my world burnt out. Now I was gone forever.
