I Know What It's Like To Be Dead | Beatles Fanfiction

Chapter 3

As I turned around I saw two men walking towards me.

John and George. This can't be real?

"'Ello, luv." John said while smiling at me. I smiled back "Hi, John."
I looked at George and said hi. "Where am I? Why are you guys here? Where am I going?"

"Slow down! we'll get to all yer question in a second but first i'd like to know one thing."
George looked me in the eyes and I nodded as if to say "Go on"
He continued, "Why did you kill yerself?"

I nervously bit my lip. "I didn't feel like I was living. I existed, but I wasn't living. Nobody really cared either and the people I love most are old and live somewhere far away or are dead."
John nodded. "What about yer parents, then?" I shrugged "I don't know, our relationship was rather ... cold, I guess"

Everyone of us was silent for a second. I looked at them.

"Could you guys tell me where I am?"

"Of course" George said. "This place is not heaven, nor hell. Those two places don't really exist, there's only this place, for spirits that leave their bodies. It's not like you have to live with all the dead people from all around the world, no, you live with the people that meant something to you. Therefore we are here, we must've meant something to you, otherwise we wouldn't be the ones telling you this."

John nodded "Apart from that, we wanted to tell you something. Well, it's more like an offer. It's an offer for everyone who died too soon. Like yerself! you get another chance at life, only this time you can choose the time and location you live in."

I looked from John to George and back. "I don't know what to say, I really feel like I'm in a dream" I smiled.

George smiled and continued "You get to choose though, you can just stay here with some people you love and have passed away, or choose the time and location to your second chance."

John grinned "What's it gonna be, luv?"
