Chapter Twelve

We waited twenty minutes before the council actually showed up. And each one appeared to be different forms, but each one a reaper.

"We are here to judge, you on behalf of your life encounter." There was a pause of silence. "We will take all good deeds in your life into consideration. But if you've done poorly? Then we will place our verdict onto you and only you can take account for your troubles caused...

Understand?"

I said nothing.

"Very well. Let's begin."

The lights dimmed and the screens hanging above the council lit slowly.

Orchestra music started to play in a flash of my life past by. My childhood. Growing up on Darrin street, playing soccer for a year, beat up the school bully, old pictures of me with my toy drum set, my grandma hold me as a kid, all of it. Flashing by in second clips causing the whole thing to speed by.

My early teen years, pictures of me and my parents, starting school, my dad leaving, crying to my mom as I came out of the closet. All of it.

Then it ended after about three minutes or so.

And isn't that how life is, one day your here, then one day it feels like it sped by?

"Now these actions in your life are the good actions that we will judge..." The judge spoke but it all faded to a muffled noise in the background. I looked around and there was the reaper, standing there. We locked eyes for a second and I snapped out of it.

"I said, What do you have to say for these actions??" The second judge said.

I said nothing.

"Fine, then all of the deeds, weather good or bad will be thrown out. Final decision?" The third judge said. "Anyone think we.should spare this young man?" She asked.

No one raised a hand.

"Does anybody think we should sentence this mortal to life in the afterworld, punishment, for his actions...???" The fourth judged interrupted.

And everyone slowly raised their right hand. A single tear ran down my face. But I said nothing.

"Fine you will be sentenced to an eternity in the underworld." The first judged announced.

"But wait--" Someone interrupted.

Everyone gasped at this and we all turned our heads to see the reaper now standing interrupting the trail. "But you didn't, even take the time to come up with a verdict!" He announced angrily after a moment.

"Weather we came to a verdict or if we DID take a break to determine the sentence it would still be the same." The third judge.

"But that's unfair!" He announced right back.

"Do you dare stand against the trail?" The third judge demanded.

"DONT DEFEND ME!" I stood up.

"Weather you determined me to be innocent or guilty we all knew you knew my fate already." I looked back at the reaper. "That wouldnt.change anything."

The crowd erupts in chatter.

We all sit and the six feet tall guards picked me up, and as I stood I wanted so desperate to look back at the reaper. Why did he try to protect me? He didn't care. Or at least he shouldn't have.

They took me away to a dark evil looking cave, it was really a cell, but I guess whatever I called it didn't matter. I had been sentenced to the underworld.

What was going to happen to me?
