Suicide World

Chapter 1

I open my eyes in disappointment. I failed, I think.
But, my eyes begin to adjust to my surroundings. I look around. I'm in a long golden hallway with lights strung by the ceiling.
I scramble to my feet. "Hello?" I say groggily. "Hello?!" I say louder, and clearer.
"Hi." A voice suddenly comes from behind me. I swing my head around, my heart is racing. I jump back as I see a very thin, beautiful girl.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I don't want to hurt you I'm here to greet you!" She says taking a gentle step towards me.
I hesitate as I grab her hand that is now reaching out towards me. She laces her fingers with mine.
"I'm Lucy. You must've just committed right?"
I pull away. "What?" I choke out. Where am I?
"Oh! I'm sorry I should've introduced this place first! I'm Lucy and this is suicide world. This is a place for all the people who have committed suicide. Since they had a horrible time on earth they have a second chance at happiness here." She nods as she ends her sentence, as if in approval.
I take her hand again. We walk down the hallway as she explains how each of us have our own room we live in, which is apparently what she's bringing me to right now.
I examine her more closely as she tries to find the key to my room. She's actually beautiful. She has really long brown hair that she's done in a fishtail braid down the right side of her head. Lucy is wearing a red sweatshirt, skinny jeans and black flats. Its almost too obvious she had anorexia.
"There you go!" Lucy says as she unlocks my door. She holds the door open for me as I walk in to my room. She turns the light on. "Woah" my 'room' is more like a mansion.
I enter the room into a large living room with a gray sectional and a very large flatscreen, along with any gaming system you can think of.
Next to the TV, there is a large glass cabinet with a large amount of movies and games. That's the first things I see in this enormous 'room' of mine.
"I'll let you explore the rest by yourself. I gotta go back to the dining hall. Call me when you find the phone" Lucy says and throws me my house key.
She waves me goodbye and shuts the small wooden door, that is quite ironic to the rest of the house.
I try to slip the house key into the back of my jean pocket out of habit, but I just feel my skin. I look down at myself. I'm naked. I almost shriek in embarrassment.
I figure since I'm alone I can wait until I find some clothing or a towel or something. But I still feel extremely uncomfortable as I step out of my spot I've been standing in and walk to my left into the kitchen.
Out of curiosity or maybe hope, I open my obnoxiously large refrigerator. It's packed full of food. Different types than I've been used to.
I close the refrigerator and walk to the stairs I just spotted. I trudge up them, hoping for something good.
I walk into a bedroom, with a large bed and a large dresser and a very large mirror, which I instantly want to break.
I open the dresser. Which is luckily filled with clothes. I open a smaller drawer to check for bras and underwear.
When I find them, they're my exact size, which creeps me out. I put on the first ones I see.
I grab a t-shirt and a pair of jeans for my regular comfort, which, in fact, are my size as well.
As soon as I get my jeans on I put my house key in the back pocket.
I look around the room for the phone. No luck.
I go out into the hall way and enter the bathroom. It's stocked with anything you could ever need to do with toiletries ever.
I leave the bathroom and walk into this other room. Which has an awkward amount of gadgets on the walls.
I walk around the perimeter of the room. Each thing is labeled. 'Past' 'Friends' 'Phone' 'Transport' 'Delivery' 'Request'. Each station has a seat at it. I sit in the 'phone' seat. The buttons are labeled to.
'Call' I press. The only name on the list that pops up is Lucy. I press 'call' again.
"Hi!" Lucy's face pops up on the screen. I jump back. "Oh hi!"
"Are you hungry?"
"uh kinda?"
"Oh! By the way! What's your name? You can make up a new one if you want."
I think for a second. My name was Tanya. But I hated that name.
"Acacia."
"Beautiful! Like you! If your hungry come to the cafeteria. I'll be waiting for you!" She smiles, then hangs up.
I walk over to the 'transport' station. I push 'start'. A large list of places pop up. In the top left corner a blinking star catches my attention.
I click on the star. The word 'cafeteria' suddenly pops up on the screen. I click on it.
