1 Life after death?

All pre-death life was moved to the auxiliary chapters. If you have no problems with drama and a slow start, I advise you to start reading from there. If you have problems, start from here and I hope you enjoy it!

There are some key information in the pre-death chapters, but they will only be mentioned later in the story, when it arrives at that moment I will remember for those who have not read, to read.

Thanks for reading!

An conscience wakes up after an unknown period of time, having no idea what is happening to it or where it is.

'What happening? I am still alive?!'

'This is impossible, I cannot have survived in one way or another.'

'Great, I only have my sense of touch, which by the way, is extremely weak.' in an internal dialogue, a Being begins to think, while trying to debate as much as possible to find out what is happening, but without much success.

All he discovers when trying his best, is the darkness for not being able to see, a deafening silence, for having no hearing, the smell and taste of something with less odor and taste than air, for having no smell or taste. But through sense of touch, along mostly with a strange intuition, this Being manages to have a minimal perception of just one thing ...

'Am I submerged in water? I somehow keep breathing ... I think. '

Trying as much as possible to spread your perception around you, in a very vague way, and based principly on his intuition, he starts to feel traces of something, but he is not sure.

'What the hell is that? Can I vaguely feel like I'm stuck in some kind of vat ?! '

'No way. Of all the theories of life after death, the correct one is matrix, really? '

'Damn, Morpheus.'

Spending a few minutes to calm the thoughts, the Being organizes its mind, and returns to think of what had happened, with apparent sadness.

'Did the lil sis okay...?'

After going through some recent events mentally, the Being is a little surprised and frightened when he clearly remembers something.

'Wait ... And that strange dream? How had I forgotten that? Now that I think about it, it's impossible that it was just a dream. '

Rethinking in the words of the female white spark of fire, the Being begins to remember that he was warned that his time would come soon, that he would have some gifts, and so began to make some assumptions about what that might be.

'She has always been with me ... Is she God or something? Or some superior being in the real world of the matrix? It makes sense, since I am in a damn vat with water after I die. '

'I always felt by intuition that I was being observed by something, at first I imagined it was something like Truman's syndrome, because many friends have also talked about it. But knowing this now ... '

Pausing to reflect for a few seconds, the Being seems to be a little uneasy about the situation.

'But it doesn't make sense. I always felt that they were making fun of me, making pranks, like the one in the song and accident just before I died. But that voice didn't seem to have any kind of malice towards me, and it still said that it loved me ... '

'Did I judge your emotions rashly? Did I misunderstand your intentions with your 'pranks'? Or was it not her? '

'I remember she said that, depending on, we could meet again ... I can ask until then. Let's forget about that for now. '

Stopping thinking about what that fire might be, the Being begins to remember word for word that he was told, trying to put together some kind of puzzle to try to decipher his current situation.

'I will have difficulties in some matters because of her ... Tsc, I could have given her more attention, but for being a complete imbecile, I am almost out of information now, I can only theorize and guess about some things.

'Two gifts ... The first is the memory of my life, which is why I have memories of everything after I died, perhaps? This may mean that after dying, everyone loses their previous memories. I am very grateful for this gift, imagining losing all memories is a little scary in many ways. '

'Having advantages over other people ... maybe I'll be relived with my memories in the world of the matrix or something? Perhaps with this' flaw in the matrix ', when I wake up I will need to be Neo!'

'Seriously, this matrix issue is ridiculous even for my fertile imagination, my intuition of the vat of water may be completely wrong. There's no way ... right? It's just a movie ... I think. '

'As for the second gift, I'm going to need to find out on my own for being an imbecile. Good job, me. '

'Something that will help me to become stronger and defend myself. Difficult even for a possible God to do, I will need to update it, and it is familiar to me ... Something difficult for a God to do and it is familiar to me. It makes no sense. '

'Something that is familiar to me, I can only say that it was something that existed while I was alive, but would something like this be difficult for a possible God to do ?! Unlikely ... I will need to update, something that a possible God had a hard time doing ?! Impossible.'

'Update ... Matrix ... Isn't the Matrix a super computer, or something? Maybe my gift is some kind of software, that I will need to update? I like anything related to technology, so it's something that is familiar to me ... '

'No, forget about matrix, it's ridiculous. I was just kidding before, but now I'm making realistic assumptions about it.'

'I think I just have to wait ... I have little information and being guessing about conspiracy theory without clear information is meaningless.'

By completely erasing your mind, the Being forces itself to hibernate.

#####

After an unknown amount of time, the Being that was hibernate, comes back to thinking again.

Having a feeling that years have passed, he begins to feel slightly worried.

'How long will I need to wait?'

'Maybe the bullshit I was thinking about doesn't exist, and that's the damn hell. To be trapped in this vat or whatever it is, for all eternity is psychological torture. '

The Being forces itself to hibernate again after complain.

#####

Returning to his state of consciousness after some unknown time, a rhythmic noise begins to be noticed by the Being.

'What sound is this?'

'Wait ... sound !?'

Trying to focus on the subtle sound that he started to hear, feeling a little surprised by the change that occurred, the Being begins to reflect again.

'I am regaining my hearing ... At least one change after all this time.'

'How long am I in this hell? Weeks? Months? Years? DECADES? I don't know ... I hope I don't go crazy ... Even more. '

'But what is that sound? It's too low ... Is it well synchronized, at a pace that feels like ... a heart? '

'I recovered my hearing and started to hear my heart again, because of the silence ...'

'If I have recovered my hearing, I will recover my other senses soon, right?'

'Wait...'

Stopping a little and focusing on your sense of touch, the Being begins to feel something with a little more certainty. And after that, he starts to focus on his perception of the surroundings again.

'My sense of touch has slightly improved ... But it is not much. I can only confirm with 100% certainty that I am under water, in some type of vat. '

'I'm going to hibernate for a while more, I hope there will be positive changes when I wake up again.'

#####

Again after an unknown amount of time, the Being awakens his conscience, and starts to get a little scared.

'What the hell is that?'

'The sound of my heart is very loud, soon it will explode.'

'Speaking of sound ... There seems to be another extremely low sound on the outside. But I can't know what it is. '

'Also ... Are my position changing? My God...'

'Is it those tentacle machines from the movie?'

'STOP THINKING ABOUT MATRIX, STUPID.'

'My God, I really went crazy... How long have I been here?'

'I'm going to hibernate again ...'

#####

Another unknown amount of time passes, and the Being awakens his conscience again, but this time he realizes that even with his eyes closed, there is a little bit of illumination passing through his eyelids. And a bittersweet taste of the liquid that is dipped ...

'What happened now? I regained my sense of taste ... By the way this water taste is a little disgusting. '

Forcing himself to open his eyes a little, he begins to see the 'cask' slightly, but he still sees everything completely blurry. Spending some time focusing on his vision, even with his eyes half closed, he begins to perceive somewhat peculiar things ...

He notices his small body in a fetal position, along with his small arms with his hands closed. Just below his navel, there is a kind of rope connected somewhere that he cannot see. And looking at the walls of the 'vat', he realizes that he is in a kind of cocoon, with some veins visible. Seeing this, his finally realized.

'My God...'

'No, that is impossible.'

'It doesn't even make sense.'

'I am one...'

'Fetus?'
