That was just a normal day

* DRING * * DRING * * DRING *

The annoying sound of the alarm clock brought me back from the dream I was having in the real world. I tried to find one of the keys on the device to turn it off, keeping my eyes closed that couldn't open from sleep.

* DRING * * DRING * TIC *

Finally, I managed to turn off the device with a final locking sound. As I got up from the bed, I yawned and stretched before staring with tired eyes at what time it was on the alarm clock. Fixing my eyes on the alarm clock that read: 7 a.m. I moan in anger.

"Another shitty day," I said to myself with a sigh.

As I got up from bed, I picked up the clothes that had been littering the floor since last night. Far too tired of tidying up, I had put all my clothes on the floor after returning to my apartment.

The apartment in question was not very large, with a living room that served as a bedroom, kitchen and closet, and a bathroom with a simple shower, sink, and toilet.

With my clothes from yesterday in my arms, I walked to the bathroom to take a shower. Being already undressed, I put my clothes on a small dresser before entering the shower.

I opened the faucet where there was a little red circle marked on it representing hot water. The sound of water squirted from the showerhead onto my face, sliding down my body to reach the cold tiles, plunging me into a subtle trance. The shower was the only restful spot of the day that I really had left.

The memories took over my thoughts.

I didn't know my mother because she died just after I was born, my father, he became an alcoholic just after my mother died. He hit me regularly even though I did nothing. Finally, at the age of 12, he died of an explosion in his liver. From what the doctor had said, the wine was slowly eating him away, killing him slowly.

Having no grandparents, aunt, or cousins, I found myself in a youth hostel where I was beaten up by children older than me. And when I was 17, I decided to leave the hostel and move into this little apartment.

Sighing, I turned my wrist the other way, stopping the water from flowing.

Coming out of the shower, I grabbed a towel on the side before drying off with it. Then heading to the bathroom sink, I took the toothbrush from the pot and the toothpaste in each of my hands. Pouring the remaining amount of toothpaste onto my toothbrush, I brought the toothbrush filled with toothpaste to my mouth before rubbing my teeth with it.

Looking at the mirror in front of me, I saw a simple face that was neither too ordinary nor extraordinary, the black hair spiky and short. The only real feature of my face was that I had my mother's eyes, bright yellow but noticing the dark circles under my eyes quickly pulled me out of my reverie bringing me back to reality.

After I finished brushing my teeth, I quickly dressed in a plain white t-shirt under a black hoodie and simple black jeans, then walked to the bathroom door.

Coming out of the bathroom, I look at the alarm clock next to my bed again: 7:30 a.m.

"SHIT!" I swore in my head. Hurrying to turn off the remaining lights in the small room as quickly as possible, I left my house, locking the door at full speed.

Running with all my might I went down the stairs of the building, passing through the large door of the building, I headed at full speed to the bus stop

"Please, be late! Please, be late" Praying in my head that my bus would be late like every time it was before. My frantic run lasted a few minutes when I saw the silhouette of a large bus starting to leave in the distance, the sound of large engines heating up in the cold morning air.

"NO!" With all my strength, I ran even faster on the sidewalks, trying to catch up with the vehicle that was already starting to leave the bus stop. I could see through the large window behind the bus, all the students of my age having fun or chatting with each other.

"EH! Please wait!" I screamed, waving my hand, but the bus driver didn't notice, continuing on his usual journey. I tried to go even faster than possible to try to catch up with the bus, but ...

A few seconds later, I lowered my shoulders ... it was too late because the bus was moving further and further away from me who was out of breath from running. In a few seconds, I hardly saw him anymore.

"Holy shit!" I screamed looking at the sky, "Why? Why is my life like this !!!" I kept screaming, "WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME?" My body was now shaking with anger, my finger pointed at the sky where the sun had barely shone its light.

* BEEP * * BEEP * * BEEEEEEEP *

Horn sounds echoed through my head like a drum, turning my head to see what was going on, I saw an extremely blinding flash of light that dazzled my eyes. I felt a burning sensation in my lower body shaking my legs with nasty little lightning bolts. I felt my head hit something hard, my eyes closing reflexively.

I had the feeling that a metallic tasting liquid was escaping from my nostrils, passing through my throat and then through my mouth. I didn't know why but I couldn't open my eyes, I could only hear the noise of people talking around me. They seemed nervous for the most part.

"Calling for an ambulance! QUICKLY!" ; "He will die?" People were screaming around me, calling for an ambulance, others whispering, I even heard camera *clicks *.

I felt a strong headache grab my head, gradually losing consciousness, streams of thoughts crossed my mind "Am I going to die like this?", "Will I find my mother? ; ...

One last thought reached my mind `` Finally peace ... goodbye... shitty world '' My consciousness spiraling out of my control, the sound around me became blurry and shrill as if trying to say goodbye to me just one last time until I hear :

"You have unlocked the 'Reborn' system. Please-"

Then nothing.

I don't know if I'll be 100% active, but I'll try to do something good ; don't forget to add it and comment
