A Second Chance, Epilogue

Epilogue So, lets continue from where we left off. I was shocked after what I had read , but everything made so much sense. I was in my room when I read that letter. I can’t even remember the amount of the nervousness I had. Who am I going to meet? Do I really have a family? Before I knew it, I collapsed on the floor, unconscious. When I opened my eyes, I was on the train, going back home. I was confused at the beginning, but it all made sense. After all, none of it was real, or should I better say, they were non-existed. It is all weird, so I avoided thinking about it anymore. I remembered everything, all of it. How I met her and the fun and loving memories I had about her and the time we spent together. I was excited to go at last, back home. I would go back to where I belong. All of that feeling of me being alone and that I didn’t belong anywhere, I think, it was kind of my soul asking me to go back to them. I had this warm and fuzzy feeling, every time I was thinking ab...

A Second Chance, Chapter VII

Chapter VII You might be wondering who I am, or why I am writing this to you. Let’s take everything from the beginning, so it can all make sense. But firstly, we need to talk about the other me to get everything in order. I will try to keep it short. You see I was a God. I was as you would imagine one of those higher beings, that can do almost everything. In this world there is the mortal world were the normal people live - the humans - and then there is us. We… let’s put it simply, we are living in a smaller world than yours. These two worlds are connected, and we can interact with it however we please. My side, values order and is very careful as to what prayers it answers and how it interacts with humans. We are like a big family. All are of the same rank and we have the same powers. We help each other and carry out the duties we are given. These may be, from answering a prayer to something very, very complicated. Like this for instance. The other big part of ou...

A Second Chance, Chapter VI

Chapter VI After all that, this circle of confusion and anxiety ended, or so I thought. I went back with Alex. I stopped thinking about it and I just let go. I thought that it would be good to spent time with him, and, to my surprise, we had a lot of fun. We talked about old times and how we were as kids. We talked about the happy moments and the bad ones and we came to realise a lot of things, that we hadn’t notice before. But before all that, we explored the place we were staying at. Trying to find the history of the place, with no luck, unfortunately. We only found what we already knew. We spent hours in the house playing with some games we used to play. We were drinking a bit, so it got funny quickly. We also did the things, we theoretically couldn’t do as kids, but imagined to be funny. One of them was to run naked through the entire city and jump in the lake. One might wonder how that happened. Well, if you are playing board games and lose a bet once you are drunk, it ...

A Second Chance, Chapter V

Chapter V After I visited the granny, I turned and left. I started going back to the house , but then decided not to because I needed some time to think everything through. So , I went to the only place that gave me some comfort and that was the little shrine , which I didn’t know whose it was. I went there and just sat at that bench looking in front of me asking the same questions over and over again. “Who am I? Did I have a past life? Do they really exist?”. There was so much I didn’t know. I went to the old granny to get answers but the only thing I didn’t get were answers. I got more questions that needed answering and I had no way of doing that. I gave up. I wouldn’t lose my sanity over something, that doesn’t make sense from the beginning. All of this idiocy with gods and gardens and past lives, I was sick of it. I was so mad. I couldn’t find an answer to all of the questions I had, because nothing made sense. And as everything flows so does memory. I remember...

A Second Chance, Chapter IV

Chapter IV So, I started slowly making my way to my friends house. A few time passed and before i noticed the sun had gone down and the moon was shining as bright as it could. I looked up the sky and felt the entire world crushing my chest. I stood still and said to myself: "I hate nights". All of the pain I had stored inside me, regret, loss you name it, came to the surface. That unbearable heavy chain pulling me into nothingness. I went to find myself and forget, and I got lost. Started letting go, forgiving myself. That is why I avoided nights as best as I could. I started finding stuff to get me absorbed. First thing was games. I was sitting down on my computer for stupid amounts of hours, in order to forget the days troubles and escape the monsters that were chasing me. Then, I remember myself smoking, in order to keep some of my sanity intact. I kept telling myself just a little more suffering and everything will end. Something will happen and you will find you...

A Second Chance, Chapter III

Chapter III After finishing cooking, he gave me my share and sat down. Then he started telling me about the granny and the place we were at. In his words he said "You see this place is not real. I know what you are thinking, but bare with me and don't talk for a bit. That old woman was a priestess or a goddess, but no one really knows. I got scared when I saw her staring at you, because she can do many things. Things that, we, normal folk can't understand. You see I grew up here when I was a little boy, my grandma used to bring me here in secret from my parents and let me play. We used to go to this place and I would play with random people. They were kind and all of them were pretty . I still don't know if, all of it, is in my imagination or not. I remember this woman with yellow hair she had". At that moment a chill run down my spine and I froze, my breath stopped. He asked me if something was wrong. I brushed it off by saying  "Nah I am ok, somethin...

A Second Chance, Chapter II

So, we continued our journey with the train, towards our destination. While we were on the train and going through the vast and different landscapes, I was looking out of  the window, lost in thought. Thinking about my life, how unlucky and depressing it was. Going through the memory lane. From when I was a little boy, up to the age I am now. Filled with screams and pain. As I was thinking and getting more and more depressed, my friend snored at that moment. You know when something is bugging you and you make that weird scratching sniffing noise. I looked at him and I remembered the happy moments I had. The very few and treasured memories I    actually had. When I was a kid and  got my favourite toy from the advertisements in the television. I still remember it, it was this big action figure that could move and make noises. Pretty simple but for a kid at that age, it was something amazing. And then I had my friend and our lovely walks in the forest and tha...

A Second Chance, Chapter I

A Second Chance Life is no more than a game of shadows and duty. I was a kid back then i didn’t know much. I am Mathew Baker, grew up in the outskirts of a small town. I went to school, had no particular talents, awards or and big achievements in my life. One day though everything changed for me. So how did it start you might wonder. Well it is no big surprise that the family I grew up with, was, let’s say not the best one. So, the one thing I liked to do and did best, was wondering for hours in the nearby forest. I used to spend lot of time there, visiting my secret spots that I really loved. My own little paradise. The other thing I loved to do, was play games. Big surprise isn’t it. I spent most of my life in that box than I did with my family. I used to play games and watch series and movies. I was so fascinated by them, that I dreamt of entering these worlds, being part of them and living the story as the main protagonist. It was awesome. Life though was not that ...
