《My Short Stories》Chapter 24
Advertisement
I was going to work when it happened. I looked away from the road for just a second and got into an accident. When I woke up, I didn't knew where I was. It somehow looked different. I looked around and it was almost ethereal as if unreal. Maybe I am dreaming.
I was going to get my mail from downstairs when I slipped and fell down the stairs. I was somewhat concious during the ride to the hospital. But then I slipped into unconsciousness. (Unintentional pun)
Then here I was.
I was crossing the road when a car crashed into me. That's all I remember.
*Waiting*
I don't have anything else to share.
I saw a kid run towards the road to grab his ball. Just then a bus came at full speed towards him so I ran to get him out of there but couldn't get out at time.
I was walking at the sidewalk when an illegal building was bombed at a part of it fell on me. I don't think it was that big but maybe I am dead?
I was riding my bicycle when a bike came and crashed into me.
*Looks at the seventh person.*
Yes, yes. It was my bike. It was an accident though. I am here too, aren't I ?
Now that everyone has shared what happened let me explain. You all are in a coma. This is the middle ground between life and death and I am your instructer.
Those of you who will die will pass on to the other life. And those left will wake up will go back in their life. You might stay here for a couple of hours, days, weeks or years. You never know. So I suggest you get settled here. There is no need to fret. You will have a lovely time here.

Remorse
I have killed many people over my long life. Men, women, children. None have escaped the shadows that I control. It was only one tiny mistake that I made that changed my life forever. I underestimated her, and I would pay for my hubris. “For every death you have given, you will feel their pain.” What? “For every person you have killed, you will feel regret.” Wait, wait… “For every murder you have commited, you will know what you have done.” I don’t think this is going to be pretty. The power leaves her voice as she continues in a softer tone. “I will give you back what you have lost, you will feel empathy again.” Her power releases me and I fall to the ground. Diana. That was her name. I will remember it. ******** This story starts out somewhat dark, but it will lighten up after the first chapter. I tend to not enjoy the psychological tag too much since stories with the tag tend to be a little insane for my liking, but I feel that I would be remiss not putting it on this story, since a lot of it is about the psychology of the main character. All the content warnings are checked since I want to leave my options open to me for the future. I hope you enjoy.

8 107Cinder Roots (Undergoing a Rewrite)
This novel is currently undergoing a major rewrite, as I noticed several plot points that needed to be revamped. I'll leave the chapters I've posted here to anyone curious to see how everything started, but I'll be posting the rewritten story as a new novel in the future. The characters will be the same, but the journey will be more understandable and hopefully, a lot more fun to read. -------- First, everything was fire, it killed, it consumed, and it gave him life. He was just a tree, born in the biggest forest that remained in the world, full of dryads, naiads, elves and treants, but he was alone. He couldn’t see. He couldn’t talk. Curiosity plagued him. He dreamed of wandering the land, but could only wonder what stood outside the reach of his roots. The tree was tired of waiting. He decided to not just dream, but to act. How could he survive against a invading empire, a grand conspiracy that threatened to shake the foundations of the world, and the raw danger that lies within these woods? With pure determination. Warning - There are quite a few POV changes in the first chapters, but that'll change after the introduction is done, as I'll be focusing on the MC perspective only.
