No other feeling could be described as the one I'm feeling right now.
Were I drowning or having my breath stopped, my lungs couldn't take the air within them. I tried to cough, to fight this nonsensical sensation my mind had, but nothing happened.
Ethereal as it seemed, I was Dead.
87 years old.
That was the time myself got involved in this so-called Earth, I made all kinds of memories and shared them to those I loved.
That's right, my...
Wait.
Who?
Who were those people again?
What are people to begin with?
W-
Cracks joined inside my encephallon. A terrible premise began.
It crashed. It broke my rat-

It pitched black and white, grey and red. Blood went through a figure in the background.
Eye sockets cried.
I tried to move my hands to my own head.
No response either.
Was I going to die?
Or... was this another life? Was I going to die in the afterlife?
No wonder my luck has always been so bad.
Did I ever have luck... or moments where I needed it?
No other option was left.
There's also something.
Could I even think? Was I allowed to make such action in my current state?
This is not the expectation I was anticipating for when I finally gained the ability to breath once more.
That surrounding area led by the unknown was still present, but I didn't feel like I was drowning anymore. I was on a surface. Lied down on my back, I could feel things again, that was the first thing I noticed which made me honestly joyous.
Oxygen entered my organs, I was finally able to move and cough.
I didn't ask for it, but it seems I got revived.
Everything seemed blue, I could see the sky from above as well.
Tears ran down through my eyes, they were normal tears.
There was an ample sea as well. I could see bubbles dancing through the air, but the air seemed as soft and fresh as when I lived. A full scenery full of dawn lights illuminated all the place, which seemed infinite and wholesome.
