between heaven and hell

Imagine waking up to a new world that you know almost nothing about, this is what happened to Jake, who forgot his past and had to start a new life. That it, I won't say anything more than that. The only thing that I'm gonna mention is that the novel itself is unpredictable and supernatural so there is alot to expect from that novel.

a new begining

I woke up, slowly opened my eyes and saw the bright light again, dazzling my vision, but now the light came from a… a window? Where the hell am I? Was what happened earlier a dream? It could be, but something's telling that it wasn't, some feeling that makes me think that way.

So if it all was real, then I am a psychic or something like that, but how the hell did I have the power to move a car without even touching it? How did I get that power in the first place? And Do I have more abilities?

Those questions will remain unclear.

I started to look around, inside the place that I woke up in, it was a bedroom with a single bed, a closet with some teenish clothes, and a desk that was near the bed and had a family picture of Joe, his wife and a…teenager? Probably their son but Why wasn't he at the house? Did he grow up and leave it? If so, why does this room doesn't look so messy, and all his clothes are still in the closet? it look like no one ever touched it, maybe something happened to him? I thought about one single thing that could've happened to him, he's dead because if he was still alive then that should've look messy because there isn't a teenager who tyding up his room, and if was leaving then he should've take his clothes.

I basically can't ask neither joe or his wife about this because I don't think they would like tell me all this, and it's so unwholesome to even ask them about this at the first place, so what should I do now?

Thinking on all of those things didn't help me at all, of course knowing about this family is important but it's connected to anything but my lost memories, the memories that without them I can't even know who I am, or who I was,

but who knows, maybe there is a reason I lost them, a very good one.

I slowly got out from that strange bedroom, opened the door that make a creak, and then I saw a corridor that leads to a staircase, I walked into it and went down on the wooden staircase that made creaks at each step I made, that staircase leads to the living room that looked like it was from the 80's, it has a small cubic tv that has 2 antennas And sat on a little desk that of course was in the middle of that room, there were sofas that looked like they had uranium on them because of how old they were, some windows that were closed, the walls were made from wood and the entrance door was right in front of the staircase.

I sat down on the sofa, rubbed my arm on it so I could find the tv remote but I didn't find it, so I got up and started looking for it.

Not here.

(On the table)

Not here.

(On the tv)

And not here.

(On the sofa)

C'mon, where could this FUCKING remote be? I just wanted to watch tv, pleeease show yourself.

'found it.

It was on the sofa in between the pillows, I quickly took it and pressed the power button in the remote that turned on the tv.

I was looking for a good tv channel that'll pass the time but almost all of those channels were as boring as those channels who were showing stupid theories that only psychopaths people will believe. like who the hell wants to know about "demons" that as they were "controlling humans and hurting others", this has to be a bullshit maybe those humans who "got controlled by a demon" were psychopaths, this is another option that this channel should take into account.

Ok enough of that tv let's get out and figure out that "new" ability that I've got.

I turned off the tv, walked towards the door and opened it.

There was a slow cold breeze that moved through my hair and whistled through my ears,

The sun was about half way from being above my head, there was grass all over the yard, and a tree near the sidewalk that had some birds on it, whistling a lot.

I walked to the backyard and made sure no one would see me, and then I saw a field, like the one that I got lost in, 'what a good place to practice' I thought to myself, 'a quiet place that is empty from those people who'll disturb me'.

So I tried to throw a rock that I found on the ground without touching it 'like a Jedi' that the only ability that I knew how to use. I tried it and it worked.

The rock was in the air floating with that gray aura as my will desire.

I moved it around a couple of times and then

I threw it back to the ground so strongly that the rock got split up and almost hit me. After that, I saw a squirrel and I thought what will happen if I move it with that ability, it's worth a try.

I tried to be very quiet so the squirrel will not escape and then I tried move it like I did with the rock but something strange happened...

I started to fall to the ground, and then I felt a sharp pain from my chest that got stronger and stronger as I moved that squirrel longer,

my heart felt like a chain squeezed it very hard and almost crush it, I quickly stopped trying to move that squirrel and put my hand on my chest like I was having a heart attack.

at the end I lost to that horrified pain and collapsed

like I was about to die.

The world turned black, I couldn't see anything at all, am I dying right now?

it can't be, I have to find my memories.

My journey can't end now from that stupid mistake.

I started to see some rays of light that disturb the darkness and made it disappear.

I heard the sound of footsteps that were louder and closer, and came from the yard.

I slowly opened my eyes and tried to get up as quickly as I could, so no one would notice what happened.

After I successfully got up, I heard footsteps, louder than before.

"What an odd ability you have there" a familiar voice I heard from behind, getting closer and closer till I turned back only to see Joe with a

Curious look on his face, watching at the split up rock, surprised.

"You know you can't rely on something you don't know a thing about," Joe suddenly said with a serious voice, "but it literally saved us from crashing into a car. Why shouldn't I rely on this?" I asked "Although it saved us, you passed out and got me worried.

Maybe this power had some downsides.

Like when you tried to move that squirrel and instead got a heart attack" he answered.

He is right I know nothing about that ability and

I literally almost died from moving that squirrel but I have nothing else to to do "I know ,but I have nothing else to rely on" I said to him "well you do have something else to rely on and it's the police or maybe your own fist(without that ability) if you didn't had time to call the police"

He answered "you kind of remind me of my son, he always wanted to be 'the hero', he wanted to try and kill the criminals without even knowing how dangerous it is. At the start he stabbed a robber who almost shot a cashier and 'saved the day', but as the time moved on he got himself into a dangerous situations that ended his own life, so what I'm asking is if you could just stop risking your own life by trying something stupid as my son did.

And about when you lied to me about a friend that was supposed to pick you up, well I didn't really give a fuck about what you said, because I knew you were lying to me, like who the fuck will wait for his friend barefooted and dirty from the field? Can you tell me what really happened to you?" so he didn't believe it, but what can I say to him?, he'll think that I'm crazy if I'll tell him about the amnesia thing, well I have no choice but to tell him the whole story "believe it or not, but I woke up in the middle of a field with no memories at all. so no, I have no clue why I ended up in the middle of a field. i just found a road and walked towards it so I could find a city or some hints of civilization, but as soon as I got into the road I didn't saw any hint. and then you were shown. that it." I said to him with a serious voice, "that sounds weird because there weren't any news reports about a missing 20 years old man, but who knows, maybe you aren't from this planet at all" Joe said with grinning voice but this look on his face changed into disappointed one, probably after he realized that I don't really have much to tell him about me. "By any chance, do you remember your name?" He asked with an optimistic look on his face, I felt like I have to ruin that feeling "nope, but I can think about one" so let's see, which name should I think of? That name's gonna stick with me for a while so I need to find a good one... "I've found one, Jake" I said while staring at his optimistic face that turned back into disappointment again. "Well, since you have no place to live right now, wanna live at my house until we'll figure that amnesia thing out?" He asked.

So I got myself a place to live what a 'great' day

"ok I think It'll be__"...

"BUT I have one condition for you to live in my house, you need to find a job, because you'll need to learn how to rely on yourself" he said with a serious voice, well I have to agree to this because I have no choice "ok" I said.

Joe gave me a news paper that had some want-ads, and then I started to look for a job.
