Introduction

(My first story, I hope you like it)

("these mean talking" 'These mean thinking')

The suns setting, the moons out, and its freezing cold outside. So what else better to do than to read some manga and light novels on the internet. My names Bruce, and I'm nothing all that special. I like to listen to music, play video games, watch TV, and read. I'm 16 years old and a sophomore in high school. I ended up missing my bus so I had to walk home. However, on the way back, I had just started crossing the road when all of a sudden a large truck went speeding down the road, and then... I stopped crossing the road and the truck sped by missing me... Because I was smart enough to look both ways before crossing the street I guess? So I get home, plop down on my bed, and start reading a book. Before I know it, it's already night time, and then everything slowly started to fade away, eventually turning into a black void

(Bruce) 'Did I fall asleep? this wouldn't be the first time I passed out while reading something' "haha..... ha..."

(Bruce) "..."

(Bruce) 'If I'm asleep, then why am I still in this endless black void of nothing... I mean, I can feel myself perfectly and move around. Its not like I get anywhere when I do move, but I still can'

A grim thought slowly started to creep into my mind... Death

(Bruce) "There's no way I'm dead... right?"

I say this while gently nodding, trying to reassure myself...

(Bruce) "I mean, I'm perfectly healthy, I know I'm somewhat lazy, but I'm still considered healthy. I got good scores on the pacer and the mile run"

(Bruce) "Maybe it was carbon monoxide, hmm... Probably not, if it was an alarm would have gone off and I would have woke up. Well that settles it, I'm not dead"

After I say that the void suddenly turns white, and then a old man with a long radiant beard, shinning robes, and calming aura appears before me. And then with a calm yet powerful voice the old man tells me...

(???) "Sorry it took me so long, I had to take care of something. Well no matter... Your dead so its not like times is all that relevant now anyways"

(Bruce) "..."
