Under the starry night, he pondered.
"I wish I can leave here."
Since childhood he has dreamt of being transported to another world to become a hero.
Like any other child, he too has wondered what the world may offer in the future. He has liked those fairy tales that he have read, and he had fantasize about becoming a hero.
But, Unlike some. Instead of being able to move on from that pace, he remained disappointed.
He may look happy to others and seeing him won't make yiu suspicious that he has problems.
But in reality, he's trying to escape that world. He believes that he knows it more than the others, they will just end up working till they no longer have energies.
So, when he's alone. He spends most of his time playing games.
Who he may be outside, doesn't reflect who he is on the inside.
And one day all of it were revealed.
Like some...
He's faking his happiness and he's too good at hiding it.
It was someone close to him.
He got a chance to open up and make his feelings get better.
It might be funny at first but he still listened at him.
"I would rather live in a world that isn't as simple as here. A world where I can go on an adventure and... Hmm, where magic exist."
"Yap, It's fun but Aren't we too old for that stuffs?"
"I know, I... I don't really know. It's a strange feeling. It's like a feeling that does not want to get silent."
"Hmm Like something calling you?"
"Oh yah like that."
"I experienced that once too and sometimes this feeling is right. Oh I remember it, this feeling is called..."
"Are you talking about hunch, foreboding?"
"Yap that's it."
"Yeh it's kinda familiar to it but this one is strange, it's been there since i'm a kid."
"Do you remember when this happened?"
"I told you already, it's when I've found out about fairy tales."
"Ah I see."
"Oh but no, I think I'm remembering something. That story... Hmm that story."
"What story?"
"Wait I'm trying to remember it."
"Okay okay, take your time."
...
...
...
"I can't remember but hmmm It's a story about mythical creatures? I guess. Then there's Grim Reapers and stuffs. That's when It happened."
"Ohh maybe you're a mythical creature in your past life!"
"Heh as if past life are true."
..................................................................................
It goes on for a little bit longer
They're talking at the back of the classroom during recess.
After that he began thinking about mythical creatures, and researching about them. One article has interested him, he showed it to his friend and they have talked about it.
*When a person dies the Grim reaper will wait until the soul leaves. Then the Reaper will withdraw a rope to tie the soul and put it inside a bag where a lot of souls also waits. Then all of them will rise to the Heaven, they will form a line and one by one, will be judges before they can enter the realm.*
"It's like a comic story lol."
"Yeh I know right."
"The guy that have written this article may be drunk, he may have confused Santa and the Grim lol."
..................................................................................
Days like this continues but it's also thanks to this that makes him forget and move on.
It only took months to remove something that goes on from years and It's thanks to a proper communication and being able to open up.
Years have passed...
He is on a trip to find a job.
He is finally in another country but one day, things changed rapidly.
While he was relaxing at the balcony,it appeared.
And
After so many years, he was reminded again of those "calls" that doesn't want to leave.
He smelled the miasma.
He got confused on why the feeling is stronger than before. And then his eyes caught it.
He saw a guy walking that looks tired.
Then at the bridge up ahead, there was a girl wearing white clothing.
It was 5 in the morning when It happened.
He got a hunch that something bad will happen so he immediately left the building and brought a taser with him.
But, when he got out there was no one in there.
..................................................................................
It never left his mind, he kept thinking about it making him unprepared for his upcoming interview.
When he got back to his room his phone had 3 missed calls, it was from his best friend. So, he called back.
"Hey, Sorry I was outside when you called."
"Oh I see"
"So What's up? Any news?"
"Dude sadly..."
"What? Did you fail the interview?"
"Hehehe"
"With that laugh, does it mean you???"
"Yapp!!"
"Congrats Dude!"
"Wanna come over to my place? Let's celebrate!! I'll finally have a job next week"
"Okay Dude, I'll be there shortly."
"I'll be expecting you okay? Oh wait, tell me about you first."
"About what?"
"Interviews tomorrow, right?"
"Yap, I'm nervous dude."
"Hehe Yeh, I was shaking when I enetered the office but Luckily the interviewer is nice."
"Lucky for you."
"Well let's talk later!"
"Okay!"
"See you later dude, bring some beer!"
"Jeez I rather not drink, I have an interview tomorrow."
"Ah hehe sorry. Well then Bye!"
After that call he went to take a bath.
Then He decided to go to the train station.
But near the train station he saw a familiar guy.
"Isn't that the guy from earlier?"
He was about to enter the train station but he noticed that the guy ran towards the highway when the cars are speeding up.
His Body moved without him thinking about it, and shouted words to stop the guy. But, he never did.
There was a truck moving and it was fast enough to hit the guy.
Thankfully, He has arrived at time to save him.
But....

Not in time to get out of there.
In a blink of an eye, his body stopped moving as the truck slowly head towards them.
