1 Prologue

A question that has plagued the minds of all human beings from the beginning is: what comes after death?

People throughout history have created various religions, and virtually all of them had a type of response that varied, for example, some said that after death we would go to Heaven or Hell for our actions while alive, others claimed that after death death, we would have our memories erased and soon after reincarnate as a baby again, in an infinite cycle.

There were many answers to the same question, but no one in the world of the living would ever receive confirmation about it, after all, how would the dead tell the living what happened after their death?

Why did I just give this probably useless information dump?

Well, that's why I'm seconds away (Or thousandths, I don't know) of knowing the answer to that question.

Yo! My name is Sirius White, and I bet 50 Pounds I know what's going through your head right now, it's something I've been known for my whole life, always asking the same question: "Sirius? Like Sirius Black from Harry Potter? But hey, what's up with White? Are you Sirius Alter or something?"

And I always give the same answer, Yes! My name came from a character in a book, my dad is a big fan of the Harry Potter series and really likes the names of the Black family members, and since his last name is White, he decided to make a joke with his kids name , and that's where my sister's name came from, Andromeda, and then mine, but meh, at least Sirius is a badass name.

Anyway, where were we?

Oh yes, I was introducing myself.

Anyway, my name is Sirius White, 19 year old, Half British and half Brazilian, currently single and unemployed, but looking for a job.

And of course, the phrase everyone has been waiting for: I'm an Otaku!

But anyway, do you think I'm going to tell a story about how I was heroic saving a child from being run over or had a really weird death that would probably make some people laugh?

Nah!

My death was pretty normal, you know, the kind that happens every day at least 10 times.

I had just had a job interview and was crossing the street when a speeding car (With the driver most likely drunk) hit me before I could react.

Then…

Here I am, lying in a pool of my own blood with several people around me, some people recording or taking pictures, some calling the hospital or the police.

I was looking up at the afternoon sky as the vitality slowly drained from my body and now I can confirm that when the brink of death your life really passes before your eyes.

And all I could say about my life is:

"Fuck…" I muttered under my breath, my mouth full of blood.

Make no mistake, I had a good life, I had a parents that, even if not very physically affectionate, still loved me a lot and never let me go through a day of hunger or in need of anything, I had brothers who loved me, cousins, uncles, aunts, grandparents and grandparents, in short, I had a big family.

No, what frustrated me was seeing what an idiot I was in my life, always making the wrong choices, taking the easy way out, always full of hesitation and insecurities and missing many opportunities, not giving the love my family deserved...

It's only now, at death's door, that I realized how stupid and ungrateful I was in life, and I regret it so much.

And I'm going to die with all these regrets and not having done anything remarkable in my life...

But even worse: I'M GOING TO DIE A VIRGIN!

…Sorry, the mood was so heavy, I thought maybe a little joke would help.

But now serious (Pun not intended...maybe), that's also one of my regrets, never having kissed a girl, never saying and listening to sweet words from a person I love or just relaxing and enjoying each other's company, raising a family of my own, that was something I always wanted to have someday, but now…

"Dad…Mom…Andromeda…Orion…Luna…(I told you my dad liked Harry Potter…)" I mumbled under my breath, which probably came out as a gurgle.

As I was saying the names, happy memories came to mind:

When my Dad taught me how to drive a car and when he took me to his work…

When my Mom taught me how to cook and the day we danced together at my graduation…

When Andromeda and I watched Harry Potter and Twilight, also the day she was together with me when I first got drunk…

When Orion and I would watch Steven Universe and run around the house while playing the song 'I'm stronger than you' and when we'd play games together on the computer…

When I helped Luna with her homework and the days I would drop her off at school…

I had a smile on my face growing paler as I remembered the good times.

I felt that there was not much time left for me to find the answer to the question of what happens after death…

"I am really sorry…""

And so, on July 15, 2045, two days before his birthday, Sirius Jonathan White, passed away…
