1 Reincarnation

Somewhere in the United States

March 2019

*Ding* *Dong*

"I hope that's it," I thought as I got off the couch and walked to the door, "These will be the last parts needed for the model airplane."

I opened the front door and saw a small package that would hopefully be the servos for controlling the airplane.

Walking back to the couch, as I started opening the box, I remembered that I had to go to work tomorrow.

"Well, I hope that I will be able to relax a little longer," I thought somewhat sadly, "my work can be quite bland nowadays."

I opened the box, and expectedly, it contained the servos I needed. I started working on the plane again while wondering what part of the aircraft I would do after finishing the task. I quite enjoyed making model airplanes, and I have a small set of them in my workshop. I had been doing it for several years after I had finished college, and it would be reasonable to call it a hobby of mine.

I connected the servos into the wings and turned them on for some fine-tuning.

"Looks good," I thought, as I was finishing setting up the servos, "now I can start working on the servos for the tail."

A few hours later, when I was well into setting the servos up for the tail of the plane, I got a phone call from my mom.

"Hi mom," I said, "Why are you calling me?"

"Hello, Henry (Main Character's first name)," she replied lovingly, "do you want to join us for dinner tonight."

"Sure, mom," I answered, then realized that it must be late in the afternoon, "wait, what time is it."

"haha, son, have you gotten entranced by your hobby again?" she asked.

"Ya, and I have work tomorrow, so it'll probably be some time till we get to see each other again afterward," I replied sadly.

We continued to talk for a while longer until it was close to dinner, so I had to get ready.

I love my family a lot, so whenever I have time off work, I try to see them. They have always been very supportive of me. They even helped me get my job as a mechanical engineer even though they were only able to support me emotionally, so I had always tried to take care of them and see them when possible. Unfortunately, I had to move away because I was a mechanical engineer due to this I couldn't visit my parents much anymore. Luckily, it was the weekend, so I could go drive to see them for dinner.

Putting the model airplane away, I cleaned up the room and went to my bedroom to change into more formal attire.

After I finished, I went into the garage to get into my car. It wasn't the most excellent vehicle on the road to tell you the truth. I could have probably afforded a better car than this beauty since most others would probably ask how it still drives. The look of the automobile did not matter much to me, though. I never cared much about the beauty of things. If the vehicle can drive is all that matters to me. Anyway, it saves me a lot of money that I can use on other things, so I don't think I will get a new one anytime soon.

The engine of the car starts running after about forty seconds, and I start driving to my parent's house.

As I was driving, I started thinking about my current situation. Recently I have felt like life is not interesting anymore. I used to feel fulfilled being a mechanical engineer, and I would love to research and to try to create new exciting projects. Now, though, it all seems bland, and I don't know why. I just feel like I need to do something more and change people's lives.

I would not want to leave my family, but more and more, I feel tugged away from this world by some invisible force. Now, even I don't think I'm ok, and I should probably go to the doctor.

As I was thinking about my current self and what was happening to me, I didn't realize the car coming straight for me in the darkening evening.

*loud explosion sounds*

Instantly, I feel my body get smashed by the other car. I somehow know I am dead, and I only regret not getting to see my family one more time.

I feel nothing and see nothing, everything is black, "is this the afterlife," I thought.
