I never thought it would happen like this.
The air forcing its way into my lungs, but unable to breathe out. Suffocating. I hate this feeling of my stomach bottoming out.
I knew I shouldn't have gone on that roof.
The ground getting closer, but it's as if time is slowing down. People going about their day, unknowing of what they'll witness.
I had my whole life ahead of me, how could I be so stupid?
People start to notice now, I wonder how it looks from their perspective? A girl falling from the sky, seemingly out of no where.
I wanted to be an engineer.
I close my eyes and wait to hit the pavement. Instead the impact of a car ever so luckily breaks my fall.
I don't want to die.
The appearance of blinding light causes me to curse under my breath, broken glass lie all around me. Carefully bringing myself off of the cold, wet floor, I look around to see that it's like a void, never ending. I had to squint just to look around.
Is this purgatory?
The void went pitch black. I feel for a wall, as to guide myself forward, but there isn't one.
"Simulation 11362 has been terminated, please step forward to re-enter society" said a deep voice, making me feel, some how, safe...
A crack of light seeping through the cracks of the opening door, I instinctively bring my hands to shield my face. I slowly walk closer towards it. Now, with the door fully open, it reveals the most beautiful land I've ever seen.
"Welcome back" a hand taps my shoulder.
