A New Life

"Is everything clear to you, big sister?"

Athasia jolted from that question and her eyes once again glanced at Shadow. She was silent the whole time that she forgot that he was still there.

"I couldn't understand it at all–everything." she mumbled. "Did I wish for my life to change?"

The little boy nodded. "Yes, you wanted to change your life. I heard you," he flicked his fingers. "You know when humans are about to die, the only thing they can feel is regret and sorrow. Some will feel greedy, those people who loved their life so much."

His eyes struck Athasia. "And your wish was to change your life."

Athasia once again tried to call everything that happened that died when she died. The moment she fell down the sinkhole, no hope flashed in her eyes. She didn't even yell or asked for help. She welcomed the darkness wholeheartedly.
