My Name Is Samuel

The moonlight shines through my face as the tip of the gun brushes against my temple. I say my last wishes, hoping that all this crap happening in my life ends once I press the trigger. The only thing I wanted to see was him, and now I finally will. I close my eyes and smile as he guides my finger towards the trigger. He's finally here. Death.

Bang. The end. Just like that.

No pain. No suffering. Just a single shot and my life is now over. A bright white light appears in front of me.

The light brightens as I open my eyes. White walls surround me, monitors at my sides. I sat up and looked at the corner. There he was, looking at me, smiling. He opened his hands as he stands up, welcoming me in this new world. I got out of bed and joined him.

We head out the door into the darkness. I await for relief to flow into me. Instead, pain surged through my head. My body aches for me to turn back, but my mind and my heart tells me to continue. I glanced back as the ringing continues. Dread rises up inside me as I looked through the door.

There I was, still sleeping in my bed.
