All roads lead to heaven

chapter 2 awakening

This is getting weirder and weirder as every step I take is like I’ve relived this life but something seems off and I feel like something in me is changing like my spirit is on fire but this Mary why is she so attached to me I feel like she’s someone I need to be around, maybe I’m just happy to be around someone who makes me happy.

But why do I still feel like my insider is about to explode “ get into the car hun” she shouts from the cab I walk down and get into the back of the cab, she gets into the front of the cab and starts the engine “were to sugar” she asks but I feel like she knows where I’m going the words “anywhere but here comes to leave my lips”. She smiles and takes me to a little shop called crossroads which has a huge little rabbit figure in the window holding a watch.

“go in he’s waiting for you sugar,” she says with a cheerful voice, I get out to of the car and make my way into the little shop, the atmosphere is almost so calming, an old man sits at the till fixing an old clock an old man with a white beard and a tied up long hair, he looks up at me and smiles with a few missing teeth but this is expected for someone his age.

“I’m sorry but I feel like I gotta be here but I don’t know if I’m” before I could finish my words the old man gets up and raises his hand shutting me up quickly, he takes my hand and escorts me to a small room with a sign written stay out, I admit that creeped me out.

He opened the door but I was hit with blinding which I've felt before, what is this feeling? Why are my fingers trembling, am I dying or have I died and is this old man st. Peters taking me to heaven.

After what seems like I was waking forever we finally reach the end but what is this room immersed in a blinding light, There's a door with flowers around it, the old clockmaker knocks 3 times the turns the handle.

The other side of the door smelt like freedom, I have no idea if that makes sense but it did it smelt like a garden, we enter and to my surprise, it’s a beautiful garden and if this is Eden then I’ll be a monkey’s uncle, we approach the desk in the middle of this massive garden, a big brown desk with a black chair and a lit cigarette in a bone ashtray.

The chair turns around and a man with a slick haircut and a white beard with a smiley lapèl on his tie with the name G.O.H he smiles getting up and slowly, a tall man almost 7 feet tall a very tall smart man, he walks towards me and placing his hand on my shoulder bending over looking deep into my eyes “ah yes I see why I chose you my son, very well structured I out did myself” I was very confused at what the hell this man was talking about but I had a good reason to be cautious about this freaky of a sized man.

I was confused by what he meant by he out did himself, like this man ain’t my daddy haha my daddy is from Africa and he short as heck, the tall man or GOH we will call him, he pulled out a clip board with some script paper and a feather pen “so my son tell me about yourself hahaha I’m joking I careated you” he said with a snarky look on his face.

I was shocked and shook after what this man just said to me like he’s God or something “yes I am a God but not a God, I am in charge of mortal creation and every living thing, you can call him Giya or Raah as the mortals of your ancient times called me” I was all shocked after I had just met my maker.

“You are probably wondering why you are here,” he says so calmly

“well duh you just claimed to be damned good and I’ve, just walked through a damn room filled with a bright light and now I’m God knows where the hheck, I am of course I’m not ok!” I blurt out in rage but he just sits and smiles looking at me.

“This is the garden of Eden you filthy mortal and you are lucky to be in my presence, now back to why I brought you here” he makes a chair appear and pushes me with his mind.

“you have been chosen by all 5 thousand deities to try out a new project called Project 13 where you get to redo your life but you only have 12 tries left since you jumped off that building after one of our own tried to lift your spirits but she failed that’s why you are here Mr. Gabriel” I sit still in shock after what I just heard

I collapsed back into the seat as my heart started to beat faster and faster, my fingers start trembling and my lungs start to block as if the air from my lungs became thinner as my vision got blurry “I think I’m gona throw.” And before I knee it I threw up all over my converse shoes and the beautiful cut grass, the watch maker rubs my back and shushing me slowly as I threw up more and more.

“jezz mortal I forgot how weak you mortals are and how fragile your feeble minds are, anyway let me just say this you have 12 chances and that’s it and if you fail you won’t go to heaven or hell you’ll go to a place where lost souls go to wonder the infinite bonds of a universe which meant to hold the darkest beings after they die, so you’ll be torn apart and no one will help you so use your chances wisely and don’t mess up, Mary will be your guide don’t try anything funny or I will kill you myself got it?”

I get up and salute like some kind of i***t which was given an order by his commander, he gets up again and stands in front of me “well time to wake up!” and just like that I wake back up in the taxi driving back towards my apartment.

“I guess you know now sweetie” she smiles looking back at me from the mirror, I look back at her and smile back “you won’t kill yourself 13 times now will you because that would be some kind of gift wasted on the human race” she laughs but I don’t find it funny as I’m in the back pooping myself.

We arrive at my apartment building “ well its time to say good by friend” I get out quickly and hasty going back to my normal mundane life, she drives off and turns the curve in seconds leaving me for dead, Mr.Roberts comes out and drops his trash bags as if he had seen a ghost “Gabriel is that you?” he stummers as I look around thinking maybe I wasn’t the only Gabriel.

“yes its me who else would be standing out here in front of you” say in confusion but he keeps staring at me, I know I’m still alive and I’m breathing so why is the old man staring so hard at me he ran inside yelling for his daughter to come see what he just witnessed .

I walk up the steps and into my apartment and shut the door behind me I look at the mail at my door in the heaps and it dates back three weeks yet I’ve only been gone for a day “I see your wondering what the heck is going on right now” a voice in my head rings as I look around confused and worried “yes I’m in your head sugar I was tasked to look after you now check your bank account there’s a little surprise for you” I go to my laptop and sign in to my bank account and my surprise 16 million dollars popped up and I was surprised like jaw-dropping surprised.

“Surprise!” she shouted in my head and I was too shocked to care why she was in my head because I was 16 million dollars richer, the things that ran through my head like I could start a business and have a great life but first I gotta pay my damn rent. I run down the steps to Mr.Roberts apartment but the old man was already expecting me by standing by his door I guess he was going to ask for his rent again but this time I was 16 million dollars ready.

“hey old man Roberts I got your rent!” I shout out but he looked at me like I was insane “I got your money old man” I blurt out with a cheque in my hand, he waves his hand and sways his head “what you mean no you’ve been bugging me all this time now you don’t want my damn money?” I say agitatedly, Mr Robert places a receipt into my hand and walks away.

I look at the receipt it’s a paid rent receipt for 4 years of rent and paid rent which I owed Mr Robert for the 4 months, everything was going good for now and I still have 12 re does hopefully I don’t mess this up “I’m sure as heck you won’t mess this up or you’re going to be spending eternity alone being ripped apart” Mary shouts in my ear so I tap my head to try block out her voice.

“so Mary since I’m stuck with you is there anything you want to tell me about this relationship we have” she laughs and goes silent “oh so now you’re silent huh, I can do this” I make my way out into the busy streets of nibiru city to find something I could invest my new fortune.

Then a thought came to mind the old mans old shop could get a bit of an upgrade I wonder what I’ll expect when I get there, I cross the street but an old lady bumps into me and falls over so I scold her and leave her but a huge trucks comes at her whilst she struggles to get up I now have to decide between me dying or her dying as the truck gets closer “hey Mary will I lose all this if I die?” I ask in haste

“no hunny but you’ll lose a chance” she says in a cheery voice its almost scary, so I say forget it so I run to the old ladies rescue pushing her out of the way and just like that I get swatted like a fly on the wind shield Mary just shouts out game over and with that the annoying alarm rang and I have to live this damn day again, I check my bank balance at least that never changed still 16 million dollars richer.

I walk down the steps then I knock on Mr Roberts door, he opens the door with a big smile on his face all cheery “thank you for letting me live here rent free may God bless your soul” he says whilst starts shacking my hand frantically.

“Mary whats going on? What does he mean letting him live there rent free?” Mary shows him a vision of him buying the building handing him a cheque of $600k .

“I forgot to tell you every time you re do you start at an alternative start to an ending you last ended at I hope this makes sense” she explains but I still remain as dumb as a rock but I got what she meant
