Dead, But Now Alive

In his final moments, his life flashed before his eyes. He was drowning in the ocean. As ice cold waves consumed him, he struggled and tried swimming against the tides. But to no alas, he kept sinking down, down and down. He saw light up on the oceans surface, and he tried to swim upwards to grasp that one last sliver of hope. But he kept sinking in the deep darkness that coated the bottem of the ocean. He tried to breathe but all he got was a mouth full of water. He drowned. Now he was well and truly dead. His pulse stopped, and his body turned lifeless as his consiousness escaped him.

He opened his eyes, and was met with a blinding light. He was met with and unexpected sight of a back of a women wearing an apron in a kitchen. He took a deep breath and smelled a appetizing scent. Then all his thoughts rushed back to him. "Where am I? Who is this women? Why am I not dead?" he thought. The lady with the apron turned her head, and beamed when she realised he was awake. She seemed around 30 or so, with brown hair, and a tender motherly smile. She walked towards him. He was in panic as a multitude of questions was flowing into his head. She walked to him and let out a large smile, as she exclaimed "Hello my name is Rose. Nice to meet you". As she looked towards him and his panicked expression, she said, "Don't worry I won't do anything to you. I know you must be thinking a lot of things right now, so I am making some food right now. I can answer your questions at dinnertime. Oh and by the way, whats your name?" He looked at Rose hesitantly, and said in a quiet tone " My name is Sean." Rose in an happy tone said " Nice to meet you, Sean! While I'm cooking if you get bored, I have some books you can read here. Anyway I must get back to cooking that the food. It's going to get burned!" After she said that she rushed to the kitchen to cook her food. Sean looked around at his surroundings, he was on a red leather couch in a medium sized room, with a kitchen facing his way. It was quite a lovely home. As he saw nothing of interest after looking around for a few minutes, Sean grew quite bored. So he took the books that Rose set on a table next to him. He picked up a random book and read until dinnertime. He was a bookworm, and instead of doing sports like other teenage boys his age, he was satisfied with reading a good book. Rose called him for dinnertime, so he put down his book and went to eat. A delicate smell wafted into his nose, as he licked his lips. It smelled of meat and noodles. Sean sat into a chair in the dining room as Rose set a bowl filled to the brim with noodles, meat and sauce. Rose sat down and handed Sean, a fork and settled down to eat. Sean was waiting the whole day for this, and immediately started forking in the meat and noodles. It had a delicate taste as it melted in his mouth, and a delicious meaty flavor, he could almost taste the years of cooking that it must have took to perfect this dish. After he and Rose finished the dish, Sean said "Rose can I ask you a few questions?" Rose smiled "Of course. What do you want to ask?"
