The Afterlife Was Better

Episode 3

"Oh sorry I should probably introduce myself." the boy said noticing Ellios's confused face. "My names Tyler I'm sixteen and I died a year ago, but don't worry you're not dead. I just got lonely and summoned you here I guess I'm not really sure. Anyway what's your name and age?

For some reason Ellios felt safe even though Tyler talked alot. This was the first time he experienced such a feeling. He was used to a constant panic unable to be relived until now. "E-e-ellios se-seventeen." He replied struggling with each word. Even if he did feel safe he wasn't use to talking.

"cool name!" Tyler said reaching his hand out offering a smile as well. Ellios hesitantly took his hand and used it too get up.

Tyler noticed Ellios picking at the sides of his fingers, pulling at his skin. "Is everything ok?" he asked concerned. Ellios answered with a slight nod of his head.

Tyler then intertwined there fingers and began to walk. " Ok so I'm gonna take you to a place I built when I first came here." Ellios blushed at Tyler's words and actions. Nobody had ever shown him such kindness. He was happy to know that even he could be cared for even if it was just for a second or in a dream.
