1 Chapter 1 - The Ending

I NEVER BELIEVED THE PHENOMENON PEOPLE REFERRED TO AS THE " LIGHT AT THE

END IF THE TUNNEL"

THOSE RARE OCCURRENCES WHERE PEOPLE AFTER WAKING FROM NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCES WOULD EXCLAIM " I SAW THE LIGHT!" WITH COLD SWEAT ROLLING DOWN THE SIDES OF THEIR FACES.

YET HERE I AM IN THE SUPPOSED "TUNNEL".

BUT HOW DID I DIE?

THE LAST THING I REMEMBER, I WAS ALONE IN MY ROOM LOOKING AT THE CITY FROM ABOVE.

AFTER THAT MY BODY FELT HEAVY AS I LAID DOWN ON MY BED.

WAS I POISONED?

WAS I ASSASSINATED? THINK, GREY.

THERE ARE MANY TOO MANY THAT WANTED ME DEAD.

AFTER ALL, I WAS A KING.

WELL, AS MUCH AS I WANT TO FIGURE OUT MY DEATH, I CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT ANYMORE. NO CHOICE BUT TO GO ALONG WITH IT. THERE BETTER NOT BE SOME CHOIR OF BABIES WITH WINGS SINGING AT THE END.

"CONGRATULATIONS, SIR AND MADAM. HE'S A HEALTHY BOY!"

WAS I JUST GIVEN BIRTH TO?

" HOLD HIM OUT A BIT, DEAR! I CAN'T SEE!"

DOES THAT MEAN THAT THE LIGHT AT THE END OF TUMNEL IS THE LIGHT COMING THROUGH A WOMAN'S.... NO!

THAT'S NOT IMPORTANT!

"HE'S BEAUTIFUL"

"HE'S GOT YOUR HAIR"

WHEREVER I AM, I CAN UNDERSTAND THE LANGUAGE. THAT'S A GOOD SIGN.

A BRIGHT GENTAL SMILE THAT PERMEATES A MOTHERLY LOVE.... I CAN'T HELP BUT THINK HOW BEAUTIFUL, HOW CHARMING SHE IS.

"HE HAS YOUR EYES, HONEY!"

THIS MAN HAD THICK EYEBROWS AND A SHARP JAWLINE, MUST BE STRICT.

"HYY SWEETHEART! I'M YOUR OLD MAN CALL ME DADDAH!!"

OK! I TAKE BACK THE STRICT THING!

" STOP IT HONEY! HE WAS JUST BORN!!"

WEEKS SLOWLY TRICKLED BY.

ALTHOUGH MY MOTHER, ALICE , WAS A GENTLE AND KIND-HEARTED PERSON, SHE HELD THE REINS TIGHTLY IN THE FAMILY.

MY FATHER , REYNOLD, WAS DEPENDABLE ANS CHARISMATIC MAN IF YOU IGNORED HIS CHILDISHNESS.

"OUCHH, WAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!"

O LORD! I BUMPED MY KNEE ON TH-

WHAT IN THE-

" AWW, MY BABY! GIVE MOMMY A SECOND!"

WHAT IN WORLD IS THATTT, IS SHE USING SOME KIND OF POWER??

OH? IT DOESN'T HURT ANYMORE.

WHAT A SUPRISE! THIS WORLD HAS SUPERPOWERS!
