Rebirth

I'm just a middle aged man dying of TB. Sometimes I wish that I can experience one last thrill before I'll lose my life is what I thought before it all blacked out.

What I see before me is a void, an endless void. All I could see is my soul, I call it my soul because it is white and translucent. Time passed and before I knew it, I began to discover that I'm not the only soul floating in this void. The more I travel further, the more I see souls just like me. I gained the ability to talk to other souls and so I did. I began to talk to these other souls and I got to know them. They also informed me that I must not lose hope otherwise I would turn into a soul who can't think anymore. Suddenly in that void we saw light that sprout out of nowhere. Some souls that retain a little of their own mind rushed towards it directly but they can't seem to reach it due to some acidic substances that can eradicate souls blocking their path. Me and my new friends are afraid of the unknown and so we didn't follow the other souls. Unfortunately a friend of mine called Marcus lost hope and said to us that he would take the unknown variable rather than cower and be left with nothing. We tried to stop him from approaching the light but he is dead set at going in it. We rushed after him so that we can save him but as he approached the light, the light began to drag him near it as if it is absorbing him. I can't bear to see my friend devoured so I grabbed him and threw him as far away as possible before the light captured me and absorbed me. The hole closed and the light disappeared.

I'm stucked in darkness again but I did not despair for I don't want to disappoint my friends. Time passed before I feel that something grabbed my feet and is trying to drag me.

'No, you don't grab me you filthy light for I promised that I will fight against you' I screamed in my mind before the I'm inevitably dragged out.

A spirit doesn't have eyes but I feel like I can see again. I hear voices talking before I forcefully opened my eyes.

I saw people and in disbelief I cried due to surviving being alone for many many years.
