The Twist Of Fate

Chapter 6: Cheater

I felt nothing; a motionless calm. It was like suspended in water. I heard nothing, felt nothing, and saw nothing.

There was no pain, I didn't want anything else at the moment.

It was.

Peaceful.

'You're here once again.' a voice said through the cold, bleak, void. I was confused.

'What do you want?' I asked it. I couldn't move my mouth but I still spoke.

'Get up, its not your time yet.' it said.

'What does that mean?' I asked it. 'You never learn, do you?' it said before it all went bright again.

There was no pain. My senses came back to me, not as a wave, but a smooth stream.

I took in a very deep breath. 'Is this the afterlife?' I asked myself before opening my eyes.

What faced me was the cave ceiling.

'Surely this is a joke' I thought as I searched around, noting everything I saw.

Then I saw it.

'What is with all this death stuff?' I asked as I got up slowly. I wobbled a bit and I had to brace myself. I searched around, my trail of blood was gone.

It was the exact same as when I died. I was truly speechless.

I was also scared out of mind. I could barely think straight.

I curled up and gave a hearty sob for a long, hard while.

........

I wiped my tears away. I had to get a move on. I was also getting hungry.
