Other side

Ch 2// Is it dream in the car?

Death. Some of us are afraid of death. Others believe they will see light at the end of tunnel. Also someone maybe hope to see their family, friends or get to paradise. 

But Kerry saw nothing but complete darkness and silence. Probably it wasn't death. Perhaps the experience of corse death. "But maybe I wasn't close enough to death to get near death experience," thought Kerry but immediately forgot the idea because it caused a strange feeling. After everything was taken over by the white light, Kerry doesn't remember anything - everything was dark as black pitch. She didn't remember how she fell back to the ground or even the pain of falling. What happened? The birds had become quiet, the wind had stopped raging and the green forest behind the ditch and meadows had stopped breathing the fresh breath of autumn. Everything around was silent. Kerry felt a little sick around here. The girl took a breath sitting next to the cemetery on the wet ground. By breathing slowly in the fresh air she get better. After sitting for a moment like this the girl decided to go inside the house. Along the way wind had begun to blow again, shaking the girl's red hair. 

A few hours later Kerry and her parents were on their way to the city for a gift. There was music in the car. The girl leaned her head against the car seat and looked outside the window. People of the city hurried through the daily work. 

Kerry's gaze blurred as she looked in an indefinite direction for a long time, the image blurred leaving only thin, colored streaks from the cars. Over time they disappeared as did the music. Only the low bass beat reached the young woman's ears like slow, heavy heartbeats. Until they were no longer audible as well. The girl's voice had broken, she couldn't make a sound. The girl.. I mean the girl's body was in the car, but the mind ... it flew away. It was no longer related to the body but was now free. Kerry, no matter how hard she tried couldn't keep it (the mind) and it just disappeared. It went against the one who called it. Kerry, now only a part of her mental matter, the spiritual soul came to a different place... a different reality. 

Everything started to get depressing. There was chaos between the body and the place where the mind wanted to go. Sounds in different amplitudes, in different pitch frequencies tried to tell the girl something. The speed of sound also varied, it was impossible to separate and understand anything. Sounds, voices and also flashes of light all around intensified the chaos. Bright lights, distracting noises, low bass, high pressures, colourful flashes - all of them as one attacked Kerry and didn't even think to stop. They just needed the girl's fear, anxiety, ignorance, all the emotions. The noise grew louder and louder around the girl's spirit which looked the same as the original look. She closed her eyes. The girl suddenly heard nothing more. There was complete silence. Kerry didn't even think to open her eyes again, she was afraid that if she opens her eyes, the noises will return. 

Although the spirit felt that there was no danger, the young girl still had her legs close to her. At last, Kerry forced herself to open her eyes. Everything around was white. The girl stood up. Kerry was almost transparent, her spirit weakened by the chaos that threatened to kill Kerry just two minutes ago. The girl was not in a certain place, I mean... it seemed that this place did not exist at all.

Suddenly a tall, slender guy appeared in front of the young girl. He could be a couple of years older than Kerry. The boy's features were firm and serious. The boy could be about eighteen, nineteen years old. The guy was taller than Kerry. Despite the guy's sharp cheekbones, he seemed quite attractive. But he didn't look like an ordinary guy, he had something different. There was a clear restraint in the dark brown eyes, peace, someone might even say trust. She didn't know why, but Kerry was not afraid of him. They stood like that for a while, in complete silence. The guy was perfectly normal unlike Kerry's transparent body. The girl was a little uncomfortable asking something because she did not know the guy in front of her and saw him for the first time in her life. Although she felt as if she had known him all her life. It seemed strange to her that the young man did not react at all to the fact that she was transparent. He showed no emotion but just looked deep in  Kerry's eyes and she looked at him. Looking at him she found peace and security, quenching her fears and anxieties that had just taken over the girl's mind. Kerry had no idea who this mysterious guy was, but she thought he could be her soulmate.

"Well, I am not exactly your soulmate," the guy said calmly.

Surprised that the guy suddenly spoke Kerry jumped back a little . The girl was also stunned that the young man was talking about exactly what she had just imagined. The girl suddenly thought of the strange place she was. "What's really going on and how is this possible?" Kerry thought.

"You are in my mind. Let me be brief... I am your guardian angel, I can read your thoughts and the thoughts of others. I have been by your side since childhood, rescued from accidents, I watch over you so that you do not get into trouble. Unfortunately, I was away for a while. What happened to you is my fault," said the guy.

The girl tried to grasp what she had just heard. All the inexplicable, supernatural successes seemed to be explained now. But how could she know that all this was not her fantasy, maybe it was hallucinations, a dream? But what about the last time she flew? How to explain that? If that wasn't the most unnatural thing that has happened to the girl, then how can it not be possible that this guy was telling the truth? Is there a possibility that what the guy mentioned was the incident in the countryside?

"Don't worry, I'll explain everything to you, but now you have to go, Kerry. The parents are already waiting for you," saying this the guy and everything else faded away.

The girl was in the car again, her mother encouraged the girl to get up and get out of the car.
