1 [No]
I didn't even feel pain, nor sound or light, suddenly all the world around me turned black and then a message appeared.
[You have died.]
[Final score: 56833 S.P.]
[Congratulations! For having survived more than a year in the Apocalypse you have earned a second chance! Would you like to use it now?]
[Yes] [No]
(What?)
(So...I died? Just like this!?)
(After having risked my life for 5 fucking years in this God Forsaken World, I died by a sneak attack when having dinner in my own home?)
(Who the hell killed me? And why?)
(Sigh... I think it's too late to ask that now that I am dead...)
(And you know what, who ever was it, nice job! I didn't feel a thing!)
(This makes me wonder how he or she did it...)
(Some blunt weapon wouldn't have killed me so fast.)
(Some fire weapon, I should have been able to hear it, unless it was too far...)
(Maybe it was a sniper? Yeah... it could be... But I thought sniper munition had all been used in the last five years and they are quite valuable to be used to kill a nobody like me.)
(An explosion seems unlikely, I would feel the burning before death.)
(Hell, I'm curious! I don't care you killed me! I have no desire for revenge! Just tell me...how did you do it!?)
(...Yeah, right, as if the killer is going to answer a dead person...)
(Well, what do we have here...?)
I tried looking around but everything around me was pitch black.
I tried walking around but I couldn't feel anything under my feet.
I tried shouting but no sound seems to have left my mouth, or at least I couldn't hear my own voice.
Aside the message that accompanied my vision like a VR UI there was nothing to see, hear or feel, so I decided to stop ignoring it and read it one more time.
[You have died.]
(Yeah, I noticed. Next line.)
[Final score: 56833 S.P.]
(What the hell!? So life is truly like a game. I even got a score! Is it a high score?)
(56833 S.P.? What does S.P. mean? Hmm.... I would understand if it was kill points, as I did kill a lot during those last five years, but this points start with S, so maybe...skill points?? survival points?? score points?? Hmm, finding out won't make me richer, so let's just stop wasting time and read the next line.)
[Congratulations! For having survived more than a year in the Apocalypse you have earned a second chance! Would you like to use it now?]
[Yes] [No]
(Oh, Thanks! I think...)
(So, should I accept it or wait he for all eternity?)
(Am I even asking this? Of course I should stay here for all eternity!)
(Who the hell would want to experience a life of constant worry, fear and pain?)
(Since I'm already dead, shouldn't I just seize this opportunity, stay dead and get over with it?)
(Yeah, let's do this.)
[No]
The message disappeared and all around me was darkness again.
(Good! Let's have a long long rest....)
.
..
...
An unknown amount of time later...
It came back.
[You have died.]
[Final score: 56833 S.P.]
[Congratulations! For having survived more than a year in the Apocalypse you have earned a second chance! Would you like to use it now?]
[Yes] [No]
(What!? This came back again!? Damn! For God's sake, leave me alone!)
[No]
After clicking No, the message disappeared again...
Just to appear what I think it was the very next day.
[You have died.]
[Final score: 56833 S.P.]
[Congratulations! For having survived more than a year in the Apocalypse you have earned a second chance! Would you like to use it now?]
[Yes] [No]
[No]
STOP BOTHERING ME!!!
LET ME REST IN PEACE!!
...
As I kept denying, the message kept reappearing, it was even more insistent than Windows Updates.
The interval got shorter and shorter until it reappear just as I clicked the button [No], giving me no time to rest at all.
In rage, I started spamming the [No] button like and angry ghost, clicking it again, again and again.
[No]
[No]
[No]
[No]
[No]
[No]
It was then that God cheated, changing the order of the buttons and I, who was rage spamming the button [No], only noticed when it was too late.
[You have died.]
[Final score: 56833 S.P.]
[Congratulations! For having survived more than a year in the Apocalypse you have earned a second chance! Would you like to use it now?]
[No] [Yes]
[Yes]

I looked surprised at the windows that suddenly changed and took a few seconds to understand what was going on.
(Fuck! I have been tricked!)
(Well, if that's who you are going to play, I will just stop playing! Let's see what happens if I don't click anything.)
Unfortunately God seems to have already understood me completely and was a few steps ahead. In the corner of the windows, a small timer was placed, and the counting down had already started.

(Hey! Stop! Let me go! You don't need me! Why are you trying so hard to make me live again!?)
[Have a happy Second Chance!]
(No! Please! No! Anything but this!)
(Noooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
The screen slowly vanished and everything went black again.
