1 CH001 'The Accident'

2:00PM

The rain fell slowly towards the ground, the sun pushed through the curtains and landed on the eye of the unlucky occupant of the bed. Cody awoke to the sun glaring at him, he squinted and rolled over, only to find a brown snout and eyes inches from his face. As the two stared at each other for what seemed minutes, a long pinked tongue blocked Cody's view and continued to lick his face until drenched. Groaning and pushing his dog away, he proceeded to exit the bed and reach for the towel he left beside him from this mornings shower to wipe his face.

Finally up he moved from his bedroom to the kitchen while grabbing the dog food from the garage on the way. noticing how quite the house was he assumed everyone was at work. filling the dogs bowl up and turning the news on he sat down after grabbing a banana and watched the news.

News Presenter:

"Good morning and welcome to your daily news report, I'm Gary Youngberry here today with your afternoon weather update, the morning weather today has not given up and shortly we should be seeing thunderstorms in the local area, just a warning to those driving home from work or to work from home the roads will be slippery so make sure to drive safely and following all traffic laws and speed limits today, that's all for the afternoon weather update ill be moving you over to Jonathon for our weekly sport update."

Cody proceeded to drone out the rest of the news as he had no interest in the rest, finishing his banana and throwing it in the compost he moved back to his room to get ready for work.

2:40PM

As he left his house and started driving to work the rain started to intensify and grow in volume, what was once a nice shower turned into a torrential downpour. Traffic had slowed down to a crawl and all he could see were the lights of other cars around him, moving forward slowly he lost view of the car in front of him not knowing what to do he looked down to find the lines on the road and noticed they were also gone.

"BEEEEEEEEEP"

Flicking his head around all he could see where two massive bright lights coming towards him and not stopping.

The car jerked to the left as the driver side door crumpled in crushing Cody's leg and pinning him. the seatbelt dug into his shoulders and stomach as momentum took hold and threw the car sideways.

Little did he know, Cody had driven into the middle of the intersection, because of the rain he didn't see the line he was supposed to stop at and an oncoming truck crashed into the side of his car.

'CODY'S POV'

There was so much pain, everything was coming in and out of focus, darkness to light, screams loud then quiet. I could hear voices yelling, telling me to hold on there was help on the way, then there was the warmth, an orange glow was all I could see. As I slowly drifted off and let darkness take hold of everything a quiet but ethereal voice whispered in my head.

"Poor soul, this was not supposed to be your time of death, come let us talk and fix this mistake."

A Myriad of colours blind me and a falling sensation overcomes my body, I'm suddenly squeezed like I was being pushed through a small hole, with a sucking noise and a pop I found myself falling through a dark space, slowly more and more spheres of radiant colours whiz past me, looking closer I could see innumerable amount of galaxies, stars, planets and lights moving around each sphere.

As I moved on and on it felt like I had past so many worlds or universes that I had lost count, that was until I saw a pure white orb getting closer and closer. the orb started to shine bright as I got closer and started to fill my whole vision, all I could see was white.

is this what the afterlife is like just a constant blinding light, at least I'm standing now..... wait I'm standing now what's going on.

"Welcome poor soul to the next stage in your life"
