C1 The Resurrection 1/2

"Where am I? I wondered"

"Dad let me do this one! Let me wake him up"

...

"Open your eyes"

"I heard a thin voice of an immature girl in my head telling me to open my eyes"

"Hurry! open your eyes"

"Prompted by her hastened voice, I did as I was told. I opened my eyes and wandered it around my surroundings. I only saw black, an endless stream of pitch-black space."

"Hey!"

"What is this place? If I remember correctly I was fighting against an undead ghost which wreaked havoc at our place... Did I die?"

"Yes! You did die! Now open your eyes! "

"The female voice suddenly became aggressive... Is it telling me to open my spiritual eyes, not my physical one?"

"I never said that!"

"I see... So it means that this place cannot be viewed through worldly means but only through the soul?"

"What are you talking about?!"

"Okay! I'll try to do it! Thank you little one!"

*slap

"I said open your eyes!"

"My left cheek felt a slight burn all of a sudden, as if it was slapped by a small soft han-"

*slap *slap *slap *sniffle

"Uwaaahhh! Listen to me! *sniff *sniff."

"Just before I could finish my thoughts, more hands barraged across my face leaving burns every hit. After that, was a loud cry coming from the female voice."

*clak *clak

"Tiny feet running away from me suddenly echoed through the... hall?"

"Daaadd! Uwaaahhh! This guy! *sniffle He's making fun of me!"

"The voice distances away from me, called out... 'Dad'?"

"Seee? Daadd!!"

"Ho! ho! ho!"

"A voice of an old man laughing resounded the dark room."

"He's still at it dad! Bestow upon him divine punishment! Divine Punishment!!!"

"The girl exclaimed."

"Uwaaaahhh! Daaaddd! *sniff *sniff"

"Hohohoho! Now now my pretty daughter. This happens all the time. Especially when the person died in shock. His brain's ability to function just fell out of balance, that's all there is to it."

"Is that so, dad? Then how do we turn it back to normal?"

"We just need to give him another shock"

"Her dad explained. Although there was a voice of an old man speaking loudly, I only sensed a single person's presence."

"Another shock? How do we even give him another shock in this empty space?"

"Your right dear, this is an empty space... Maybe we should let him experience dying again?"

"We'll kill him again? Will that really work?"

"Kill me again?!, I bolted"

"No dear, that's too cruel even for me. We will just let him experience it in his mind."

"Okay! I understand! Then what kind of death shall we let him experience? Can I choose???"

"Ho ho ho! anything is fine! Choose away dear! "

"The man agreed."

"Yayy! Death... hmm... death... Suicide?... Torture?... Stabbed to death?... Fall off a building?... hmm... Heart-break shock death?... Heart attack?... hit by a moving truck?... step over by elephants?... poison?...

"Don't say such terrifying things! Now just hearing you speak makes me question if you're trying to fix me or just trying to torment me!"

"Be quiet! I'm trying to think here! blown to pieces, or dissolved by acid… spears...sword!"

"The daughter continued to list incredibly inhumane ways while the person in question is hearing everything."

"Shall we detach his head with the holy sword dad?"

"What did she just say??? Did this girl just suggest she would cut off my head using decent words?!"

Am I in hell?

"You might as well be."

"Hooo! Looks like it worked."

What worked exactly?

This situation is really confusing, It would be very convenient if they would just explain it to me.

"Your brain is now functioning as it should be. We are now reading your mind, that is how we are able to answer even without the need for you to open your mouth."

I see, so I was voicing out my mind back then when the girl suddenly burst into tears and ran to his father.

"Hey! Don't make it sound like I'm a kid crying over spilled milk!"

What a pain...

"Uwaaah! Daaddd! He just thought I was a pain! Divine punishment! DIVINE PUNISHMENT! WAAAH!!"

The girl's voice just cried over spilled milk.

Still, why is it so dark here and what is up with these voices? It seems like I really am in hell.

"Calm down deary, this fellow just doesn't know what is happening, that is why he is like that. Look, he still has his eyes closed."

My eyes closed?

I can't move...

*Sniffle

"Really? *sniff *sniff Okay then, I'll forgive him, but how do we make him open his eyes?"

"Looks like we need more shock."

"Will we really separate his head from his body this time? If so, please let me do the honor of removing this man's head to shake off the brain that is lacking in many ways so that he may realize what he's been saying to these holy beings."

Please don't.

Just what kind of environment did this girl grow up from?

"Ho Ho Ho! Since when did my daughter grow up so much?"

"Hehehe!"

Please stop cheering on your daughter while she's spouting outrageous ways of killing a person who's already dead.

"Boy, If you don't want to experience those things then open your eyes."

"Are my eyes really closed? but why does it feel like it's already open?"

"Hey! You kid!"

You're the kid!

"To open your eyes, you don't feel it, you have to do it!"

"That's a really broad way of teaching someone how to open their eyes."

"Just do it will you!?"

Open my eyes! Open my eyes!

"Don't use your thoughts! Use your brain!"

Just as she instructed, I used my brain and slowly opened my eyes and after a while, my vision became clear, a bright light was revealed and blocking it, was a silhouette shaped like a small girl in a one-piece dress with two mini angel-like wings appearing majestically at her back while she was standing proudly in front of me.

Perhaps the light was too bright that I couldn't seem to visualize her face, but her hair was really long, it grew down to the floor.

Together with her hands extended towards me as if she was receiving me with 'Open Arms' she announced:

"Welcome to the afterlife!"
