Chapter 01: Waiting Hall
I'm standing in a room filled with people.
White walls I supposed, but I can't seem to see where the walls meet.
A gentle breeze carress me.
When I look at my feet, I could see clouds.
Wow, clouds!
Wait a minute!!
Panicking I looked carefully around again, everyone else were like me, in full white garbs, and somehow the layout reminds me very much like an immigration office.
"Next!" I heard a voice called.
I felt a tap on my shoulder. A man behind me smiled then pointed ahead.
I was in... a queue??
"NEXT!!!!!!" The voice called again, this time in a tone of frustration. I gulped and took a few steps forward.
'A few steps' was an understatement. I didn't know how long it took me from the queue i was in towards the voice.
When I tried looking back, there was nothing but white.
I turned around and saw a small man seated down behind a simple white table.
I couldn't figure what he sat on, or if the table has legs, I could only see him behind a flat surface, on it a huge thick anicent book with scribbles I can't recognised.
"Christopher Benjamin Fletcher." He called.
How did he know my name?
"Do you have any last wishes?" He asked simply.
Last wishes?
"What do you mean, last wishes? and Where am I?" I asked.
The man looked up from his book.
"You are in limbo." He replied.
"The universal waiting room." He added, opening his arms out as if to welcome me.
Limbo?
"Do you mean, I am dead?" I asked.
"Pretty much!" He replied, arms clasped and placed on the book.
My shoulders drooped. I felt miserable.
I'm dead? It can't be!
"Oh yes, you can be!" He replied. My eyes widen.
You can hear me?
"Every word!" He laughed in amusement.
"Look, I only have one question. Do you have any last wish?" He asked again.
"Why?" I replied.
"Because, Christopher Benjamin Fletcher; I will allow you to head back to Earth to complete it. " He said.
"But of course, " He chuckled,
"With terms and conditions." He added.
"What are the terms and conditions? " I asked.
