People are running, screaming and trampling over one another. It is pure chaos and pandemonium where one girl is lying on the ground taking her last breaths.
'Why didn't I take more time to be healthy and fit. How was I supposed to know my life would end like this? Why did this happen?'
The girl thought before she whimpered out. "Someone... please... help... please!"
But no one stopped to help. The few people that saw her just quickly gave her a pitying gaze before they ran on. Soon there was no one left but the dead people or other dying people around her.
"Kahahahaha... dammit" The girl laughed crazily before she broke down in tears slamming her fist into the ground. Her lower half of her body was stuck beneath rubble. Not having the strength to cry anymore she was left to her thoughts.
'If only I just ignored the dying like everyone else I might not have been in this situation. No... If only I was ... stronger. If I was stronger I wouldn't be dying in vain like this. I could lift this rubble off myself.'
"Ughh.." The pain was almost unbearable as the girl was slowly bleeding out. The girl just slowly closed her eyes, resigning herself to her fate.
'Mom, dad, grandma, big sis... I'm sorry I wasn't strong enough. Please be safe.'
Then everything went black. The girl died with the regret of not being strong enough and leaving her loved ones behind.
****************
Next thing she knows she awakens in pure darkness. Her body feels light, almost non-existent.
'So this is death. Just a whole lot of nothing.' Thought the girl as she looked around searching for someone or something else in this never ending darkness.
Floating through darkness the girl reminisced about her past. She had been 22 years old when she died. Just graduating from college and starting her career as a software developer in a small startup company. After work she would always go home to read comics, play video games, or read the latest web novel.
She was a typical geek who spent most of her time by herself. She would forgo exercising and eating healthy to spend more time reading. Her life revolved around stories that helped her escape her bleak life. If she knew the world was going to emerge into chaos, she would have spent more time enjoying that bleak lifestyle.
What seemed like ages in this complete darkness with nothing but memories that seemed to be fading with time, the girl saw this faint light.
'Is it heaven can? I finally leave this darkness and nothingness.'
The girl desperately reached for the light. The more time she spent in this darkness the more memories started to fade. She couldn't really remember her loved ones or who she had been.
The one memory that was still crystal clear was her last moments desperately wishing to be stronger.
As her hand grazed the light, the light grew brighter suddenly and swept away the darkness. But it only lasted a second before everything went dark again.
Desperately wanting to escape the darkness the girl burst into tears and started to wail. But something about this darkness felt different. That's when she heard voices.
"My lady, it's a girl!" a woman exclaimed.
"A girl..." a deep gruff voice that seemed to be on the verge of tears, quickly exclaimed. "Honey, it's a girl! My little baby girl, she'll be daddy's little princess."
