I Reincarnated In A White Elf

When you have a life to live full of dreams and desires this is the fuel for a purposeful walk forward on those tracks and not lose focus of where you leave off and where I am going. My name is Mike, I am an only child, thank goodness that my life is not so, how can I say, so suffering, I have my school, I have friends there, I have my video game where I spend hours and hours on my favorite game, I even lose sleep at night playing so much. I can't forget to mention that last month I invited my friend Afonso to play a few games at my house, and that night lasted, as they say, the night is young. I'm already bored of staying home on these school vacations, I decided to call the Afonso to schedule a day we can ride a bike through the city roads, his mother answered the phone, she told me he was outside the house, she went to call him, in the end we set for a weekend.

When the day arrived I was very excited, gee, it had been a long time since I had seen Afonso, and also he seems to be depressed, but this is his thing, there was no problem with him, this I can say, because I am one of his few friends.

My mother also warned me about the bad weather, that it was about to rain, this is not something to hide under the covers, it was just a mother's warning, normal for a son. I took the pump to inflate the tires, calibrated them all, my bike and his, I usually ride safely, I also took my helmet and my water bottle in case I felt thirsty and we went.

- Wouldn't it be better if we went back home? Because the weather is very bad, the visibility is not that great. -

No way, bro, I've walked a lot around here with my dad during the dead of night, in the afternoon and many times in the morning at sunrise.

We hadn't walked five kilometers yet and the sky had that ominous landscape, that thunder would sing, lightning would shine.

I can't let a rainstorm spoil our ride, can I?

A little far from where we left the road where we were walking was very high the number of vehicles on the track making our walk difficult.

It's horrible to ride like that, on the side of the road that has no shoulder for us cyclists, not to mention that large vehicles do not give us space, I think this is very arrogant on the part of them drivers.

- That girl at school, did you manage to talk to her, Afonso?

- No. She didn't give me the time of day, in fact she didn't even pay attention to me, I did a lot for her, she gave me a kick in the ass and told me not to come back here!

- Wow, she was so hard on you like that?

Man, the way I'm kind of sweet, I think I would cry at her feet, but it's okay man, there is not only her in this world, who today cries tomorrow sings.

- You're right! After much riding I confess that I was already exhausted, lucky I did not shut up because the raindrops were already falling, and falling a lot by the way.

The conversations that I and Afonso had talking was only about the girls at school that we keep an eye on, ah, and the grades that insist on chasing us, everything was going well as we thought when suddenly a sharp left turn, a car that we could not see well his color hit us full on, throwing Afonso and I meters away, it's hard to describe this because the weather conditions were not in our favor nor in the driver's favor. It was painful seconds, in fact it was milliseconds I felt my skin burning like fire, I was still those seconds on the wet ground giving my last breaths, blood came out of my ears, nose, it's amazing how you can hear your bones breaking with a hit like that. I was trying to scream for help, it's at this time that there seems to be absolutely nobody on the highway, not even a biker, or a farmer who lives nearby, nobody, completely nobody.

The driver of the vehicle only God knows where he got himself into, to help min and Afonso that was urgently needed, this he did not do! For another instant I couldn't hold my eyelids shut, they closed with an immense weight over my eyes, not allowing me to see if Afonso had the same bad luck as me, of being run over in the middle of a friendly encounter. After fighting for life, I no longer had the strength to grit my teeth, to try to lift my fingers, to beg for life, for the few seconds I had left. I died, I died by accident that cost me a lifetime, a life that no money can pay for.

Soon after I died of liability, the rescuers arrived and removed my body from the road. Two days after the accident that occurred to me, I was taken in spirit to my wake, there I saw that many of my family were paying homage to me, I saw girls that I liked, when I was in the sixth grade, where I hit on them and even got a kiss from them, it's good to remember that. Now the worst part for me to witness was when I saw my parents crying around the coffin, they were uncontrollable, I also saw my relatives who are not many, trying to understand what had happened that weekend with my person, not knowing for sure, what in fact had occurred.

They were unanswered questions, a journey that began but never ended, after a few hours my body that was now cold and pale was leaving in a beautiful procession to the commentary of my city, I heard when I was a child that, when someone dies, when the body of that person arrived at the cemetery in that place that many people from the family of the dead even fainted from so much pain. I saw this on that day of my own funeral procession, I saw when the men lowered the coffin into the grave, and loosened the ropes of the coffin straps and started throwing sand over my coffin, I saw that at that hour the pain in my parents' hearts doubled beyond measure. Nothing at that moment could bring me back to life, not even if I screamed loudly.

Trying to get people's attention, they were already leaving the cemetery in mourning, crying, moaning and agony. After all this, it seems that my time here on Earth is over, in truth time was not my friend, it was a villain that robbed me of a whole life, it arrived just like that asking for an account, and there is no one who can fool these two, death and time. Now my soul also disappears like a light switch that goes off after someone turns off the switch.

I erased from the world's existence, but not from the hearts of those who loved me, father and mother. Again my eyes closed as if to sleep, I fell asleep.
