"Life."

"What is life" ?

"How do we define life, we as a souls that exist in this so called universe" ?

"Is it a certain quality that distinguishes living organisms from dead ones"?

"No, not even close".

"Life is just the beggining, if you can even call that a beggining...

Our Life is just a small spark in veil between Life and Death."

We are insignificant, we are nothing before death.

"Only after we die, do we rise as a individual, or in some cases, as a monster."

"But what happens to those who face death before even they themselves aware what death represents, what it means, what happens after death, before they themselves die?"

Life was never easy for Mark

He almost died before birth due to certain problems with the development of Mark's lungs.

At the age of 2, like every child of his age, he was already capable of walking and was developing his speaking capabilities and vocabulary.

Well, at the age of 2, he also broke both of his legs, and almost was not able to walk because his bones weren't developed enough at that age.

At the age of 3, his father left him and his mother. Not even she know's why, or atleast she doesn't say it, but Mark at that time was just a kid. He doesn't know that.

At the age of 4, he was given the news that he may have a little brother. He was so happy we was already preparing to give some of his toys to his baby brother.

He was wondering how did she get pregnant if there was not father. He knows from that one time when mother telled him that a mother needs to love someone to have kids.

He quickly dismissed those thoughts, because he was going to have a brother and he didn't particulary care either way at that time.

And at the age of 5, the day had come when his brother was to be born, Mark was basically with his mother at the hospital, waiting unpatiently.

To him, every second was like a minute, and every minute was a hour.

What he didn't know at that time, was there were some complications to his brothers birth.

3 hours later, or was it 4, or 5? He didn't even know. He lost a sense of time right there and then.

His brother died right after being born.

He was at a loss of words. He didn't even know how to react. Was he meant to cry? Was he meant to be angry? Was he meant to be shocked?

He stood there, inside one of the hospital wings, motionless.

Not even a trace of movement was seen on Mark. His face was showing no emotion, at least that was what was shown to people present.

But inside Mark, was sad, angry and shocked.

He was sad, because his brother died. Just like that. His brother, that he could've talked to, played with and in the future, help him if the need arises.

He was angry, because his brother died. Just like that. God only knows how his mother is feeling right now after his death.

He was shocked, because his brother died. Just like that. He was shocked how one life can end, just like that. Without warning, without preparation for that. Without time to even say goodbye.

How life can end...

Just like that...

-------------------------------------------------------------

Several seconds passed in silence. Noone could say anything to this little boy, who was cruying buckets of tears at the same exact moment.

Suddenly the boys face, which was facing the floor in sadness, anger and shock, looked at everyone present in that moment.

What they saw the boys face, they will remember until their deaths and even after death.

The boys face, full of tears, was showing a face of no emotion, a face that was representing darkness itself.

He was looking at them, like they were the most worthless things in existence. Like they were nothing, simply nothing

Then, his lips began to shiver ever so slightly, shiver almost invisible to human eyes.

At the same time, a certain aura was being emmited from that boy. The aura itself was invisible to human eye, but at the same time, it showed the color that represented all the darkness of this world.

It was black...

Then from the lips of that boy, certain words were said that would scare and change everyone present there. Certain words that would change everything in the future.

Those words were :

"What is life?"

Many things happened in Marks life after the death of his brother.

His mother was fine, atleast physically.

After the death of his brother, she was really depressed and sad, the only thing that prevented her from commiting suicide was her son Mark.

Mark entered school at the age of 7. There he made some friends, sometimes was bullied, but he didnt mind and forgot that, and they eventually stop bullying him.

He was average at school regarding his grades, not bad, but not that good either.

It was right before he finished his school and was to enter highschool at the age of 14, he was asked what would he want to be in the future by his own mother.

To which he responded with:

"I want to be a doctor mom, so that I can help to prevent other people and kids just like me from dying for no reason."

Mark has recovered mostly from his brother's death, but that still left his a deep scar on bis soul that will never be recovered.

And from that scar, he got a resolve, that was to help other people.

To help people live best of their lives.

He wanted people to live. To help them live their life. He wanted to especially help kids live.

And that was why he wanted to become a doctor. Sure it may be cliche goal in life, but atleast he would help someone.

He knew that he couldn't help everyone, but atleast he would do his part in this world and age.

He got through highschool sucessfully, his grades were perfect, noone bullied him, actually everyone respected him for some reason. He didn't know since noone from outside of his family and some doctors knew that he had a brother, even if for a few minutes, and that he was dead.

He even got a girlfriend. To him she was the prettiest thing ever in his life, and would not give her up for even if he was offered to be a god in exchange for her.

Right now, he is going to a medical university. This is his first day and another step in achieving his goal in life.

Right besides him is his best friend, Michael.

They knew each other ever since kindergarten, and are in contact every day. All day they are laughing, joking and some times playing video games and doing pranks on others even.

While they were talking, suddenly Michael looked towards his left hand, where his watch is.

Out of nowhere, he murmured something not even a god could've heard.

"Five minutes and 36 seconds left huh..?"

Of course, even though Mark didn't hear exactly what Michael said, he heard some sounds.

"Mike, have you heard something? I can swear I heard someone say something but I don't know what."

Michael suddenly lift up up his face and looked at Mark with anger and shock for a microsecond, then his face came back to normal and said:

"No Mark, I didn't hear anything."

"Hm, strange... Maybe its just the world playing tricks on me?"

"Who knows, anyway, I need to go and get some things done. Wanna go to eat something after classes are finished?"

"Sure, why not? Anyway then see you around."

"Yeah, see ya !"

After Michael left, Mark continued walking towards his new University.

When suddenly he saw his girfriend out of nowhere walking on the road trying to get to ths other side of the street.

Then suddenly, he saw a truck going very fast towards her. She will not be able to make it even if she runs as fast as she could.

He immediately knew what to do.

He dropped his backback behind him, so he can ge trid of unnecessary weight on his body, and immediately rushed towards her.

"EMILIA !!!

Right before truck was meant to hit her, he pushed her forward and saved her from truck hitting her.

He was happy, knowing that he saved his girfriend, that he saved one life.

Happy that he saved someone...

Then suddenly, he felt big pain to his side.

He felt and heard all of his bones to his right side breaking like they were nothing.

Right at that moment, he knew he would be dead, if not by anything, just by his bones breaking he knew that even if he survived after being hit, it would not be long before he died anyway.

After that, he relived every moment of his life inside his mind. His birth, first time walking and talking, his father leaving him, his mother becoming pregnant, his brother dying right after his birth, him getting his first friend Michael, him getting into school, him meeting his girfriend, Emilia for first time up to this moment.

He was sad knowing his mother will cry a lot because he died, because his girlfriend will too. Michael probably wouldnt cry, but he would be sad too surely.

But he was happy knowing he atleast saved one life.

Then suddenly he began asking himself again inside his mind the same question he asked the doctors right after the death of his brother.

"What is life?"

Then right before he lost conciousness, he heard some strange mechanical voices.
