Ch 1 Smoking gun

The flash of light blinds my senses as I lay on the ground. Blinded by the light the only escape from absolute nothing was the slowly growing sound of screams distorted at first as if it was from far away inside a hollowed outbox, that is slowly getting closer. Sizzling from a fire nearby brings with it the smell of meat burning. This smell brings back memories of Barbecues I had with my family. A river of fluid, metallic in taste bursts from my throat into the sky. Finally, I see it the world around me slowly comes in grayscale everything is a shade of grey.

How did I get here I ask myself as the metallic fluid slowly fills my lungs? The war, draft, or was it my captain who ordered the assault on a town that we weren't to be near. maby it's my fault for not shooting that kid. Suicide bomber... ha I was naive to think that they wouldn't use a kid, just because my morals would say to protect him... well.... it doesn't matter now. The world is slowly moving away from me. I look back to see my comrade pulling me to safety...well what's left of me. Ribbons of flesh and cloth stretch 6 yards now from where I was to where I am now. This is goodbye... Cassandra, Toney, Charley, Marco, Franko, Willis, Winston, and Perry... don't follow me too soon.

....DO YOU REALLY WANT THIS?...

.....

....I ASKED DO YOU REALLY WANT THIS FOR YOURSELF?...

.... I'm dead so why am I not at ease?...

....LISTEN TO ME MORTAL AND ANSWER THIS QUESTION... DO YOU REALLY WISH FOR DEATH?¿¡!

.... Go away and leave me at peace... it's all over now. I'm dead... I don't want to hear myself in another form.

....ANOTHER FORM HE CALLS US!!! I KNOW HOW ABSURD!!! D-D-DOES HE N-N-NOT KNOW US¿. MABY THIS LAD HAS NO RESPECT FOR US... WE, MAY, MY, I, US, ISNT IT TIME WE DECIDE HOW TO APPROACH THIS EPIPHANY!

....Great now I have multiple personalities disorder just shut up!!!

....ENOUGH!!! MORTAL... I WILL GIVE YOU THIS FINAL CHANCE... DO YOU WISH TO BE REBORN IN A NEW LIFE OR WITHER AWAY IN THIS NOTHINGNESS????

....If it will get myself to shut up then I'd like to be reborn in a world of magic and be a mage that is so overpowered and unkillable that I'm seen as invincible. I want to be piled in the genius tube so you better increase my memory and ability to retain knowledge. Oh and looks I want to be handsome beyond belief so good looking women will be coming for miles just to see me smile. You get all that? also I should have something that sets me apart from people even more like yellow eyes yeah!! I want my iris to be yellow and noticeable so, hows that you are done talking?

....MORTAL I SENCE THE LOSS YOU FEAL NOT FOR YOURSELF BUT FOR THE CHILD WHO WRONGED YOU, FOR THE FAMILY OF THAT CHILD, AND THE GOVERNMENT THAT WOULD ALLOW A CHILD TO WEAR A BOMB ON THEIR CHEST. I WILL MAKE YOUR REQUEST SO.

...Oh, don't forget the cherry ya prick!!!
