When do you know you are dead? Is it when you see the speeding car and know there's no evading? Is it the pain of your broken body on the ground? How about the blinding light in your eyes or the creeping cold and foggy head? For me it was all of that. That and the sound of a coin hitting the ground.

"Heads. You win the coin toss. So I will transport you to my world. I look foreward to what you will do."

I open my eyes. Stone. A blue glow. My body doesn't hurt. I was hit by a car just now. But now I feel fine. Am I in a hospital? No hospitals don't have bare stone ceilings and creepy blue crytsal's on the wall's. Where am I? I try to stand up but notice something strange. I am floating. How can I tell? Well when I look down my body I see that below my waist my body ends. This can't be happening. I close my eye's, count to ten and look down again. Still no leg's. Well I seem to be a ghost. How do I know? I looked at my hands and they are now shapeless, blue and transparent. I touch my face and feel nothing. What a weird sensation. Why am I so calm about this? I was always like this. A realist in the face of fact's. Now let's see if the rest of me is ok. My personal history is all there. School, College, Teaching at a high school and becoming a Professor. No wife or girlfriend. My parents died year's ago in a plane crash. Their name's where...huh. I can't remember their name's or the names of my former workplace's either. Neither do I remember my name or my age. But I remember all of my past and what I learned. Hmm weird. Well nothing I can do about that for now.

I look around. This is a tunnel made from stone with strange blue crystal's every few meters. It's dimm but not dark. And not damp but dry. This look's like one of those dungeon's from a game. Where the hell am I? To my left a long tunnel that ends in darkness after a hundred or so meters and to my right a wall, no, a T junktion. Hmm what should I do? "I can't stand around and do nothing forever." my voice came out icy and dry. Creepy. I guess I take a look where left lead's me. So I started floating down the tunnel. And that's how my adventure began.
