Reincarnated As A Kaiju

Chapter 1

Dominic strolled out of the cinema with a smile.

'Oh my word, that movie was amazing!'

He looked around.

At week's end, many people came for different reasons. Perhaps it was a break to unwind from the long work day? Maybe they were out with family and friends to have a good time? Or they were just fans of a character within that movie and showed their passion by viewing it here.

Of the posters on the wall, one stood out.

'Gojira did his thing, and I'm satisfied,'

Dominic dropped an empty bag of popcorn into the trash bin.

'If I have to be honest, Minus One is at that level with 1954,' He thought, fishing out his phone, 'Literally everything is brilliant,'

The time revealed itself.

'However, it could've been an eleven out of ten if they used his strongest move; The Dropkick,'

When he thought about it, Dominic held his breath. He shook his head and walked to the entrance.

The sun hit so hard that he had to blink a few times.

When his gaze met the street, his shoulders lowered.

'That movie made me proud,'

He reached the zebra crossing and looked both ways.

'so why can I not do the same for my parents?'

That tensed him up.

Soon, his imagination took hold.

There he was, his head high in the sky. The buildings are only small twigs compared to his size. People like ants. Fear. His roar echoed all around, terrifying those who were not already running for their lives.

Dominic blinked.

'Sometimes, I wish I could turn into a Godzilla,'

Everyone's comfort zone is different.

This was his.

Although, it was only for a moment.

'Then everything else hits,' He sighed, 'It is only a dream of mine. A dream that cannot be accomplished,'

As he reached the other side of the road, Dominic smiled.

'Does not change that I went to see that great movie,'

If there was one thing Dominic hoped for, it was for more Godzilla movies in the future.

Perhaps they could add kaiju that has not seen the big screen in a while. Maybe even have a fight between Gamera and Godzilla? That would be epic.

'A sequel to Shin Godzilla would be cool, even if it meant more suffering for the poor guy,'

As his footsteps carried him forward, Dominic's mind grew dark.

Such high expectations from him.

Such a high bar to fill.

That bar would be beat, though. He was sure of it.

He looked at his phone again.

'Damn,' Dominic frowned, 'Work, tomorrow,'

As he straightened his back, he wondered.

'Gosh, I really wish I could...'

HONK! HONK!

'...make them proud,'

It was weird.

The only thing he remembered was walking down a street, past buildings.

Now, why did it all vanish?
