Death is our end. It's what we are always told. That out life ends with our death and that's it. Your life is over. I had heard stories saying otherwise but i never believed them. They seemed to far fetched, I mean, you get to spend eternity suffering just because your gay, that's outrageous. Now I've come to my end.

I'd been caught. I confessed. There was to much evidence against me not to anyway. I'd given up on life, on humanity. I wanted to commit suicide but I was to scared. Scared of whatever came after.

"Kaishi Owari," Someone yelled my name, the sound booming thought the village, "is found guilty of theft, murder, and impersonation of a government official." I hung my head, half smiling. I was ready to die. "She has been put to death." Who ever was talking seem reluctantly happy about my coming death. "Today, my friends, we are having a public execution!" The crowd cheered. People being happy about this stuff made me sick, I mean who is happy about death, WHO?! "Mr.executioner, are you ready?" Fear took over my body. Was I ready for this? Was I ready to do this? And then I remembered, there was no point in living in the first place. Someone pushed me down to my knees and put my head onto a cold stone. "When ever your ready?"

My body soon went cold, it was like I had been lifted out of my body. And that's when my world became white. It was the brightest light I've ever seen. It was only the light I'd ever seen.

Then It happened, i woke up. And I didn't know what to do. I could see. For the first time in my life, I could see. And then I realized I wasn't in my village and I certainly wasn't alive. I looked around the room. The same white as before, empty except for the bed I'd woken up in and a door on the opposite side of the room. I stood up and looked down at myself and felt my clothes. They were unlike any clothes I'd ever had, it was strange. I decided to check out the door. It felt different to the doors I had. I opened it.

There was someone inside. He wore the only color I'd ever seen while i was alive, black. The man smiled, "Hello, Kaishi Owari. It's been a while."
