A Usual Day For You, But Not For Me…… (Part 1)

“Ahh…” Kepler thought as he got off his bed.

He had a headache since he didn’t dry his hair before he slept last night.

While his head hurt like someone was punching his head, he slowly walked out of his bedroom, holding the railing of the staircase, and walked down into the kitchen and took some medicine for headache.

“Now it feels better!”, he thought in his mind as his headache started to get better, “I should’ve dried my hair last night!”

Kepler stepped into the living room and sat on the couch then rest of a bit. He closed his eyes and started to think of the weird day he had yesterday.

“Yesterday was messed up!” Kepler thought as he closed his eyes, “I rather have a normal day!”

After a while, he sat up straight on his couch, then turn on his television. The channel was still on the news Kepler and Christine were watching last night.

“A shocking news just arrived!” said the reporter.

“I wonder what’s going on”, Kepler thought as he listened to the reporter closely.

“The lottery number announced yesterday wasn’t accurate, the system glitched, the number announced and the number recorded down in the computer was different!” said the reporter.

“I wonder who was the lucky person who won the lottery,” thought Kepler again in his head.

“The number announced was 60, but the number got recorded down was 36!” said the reporter.

“How funny!” said Kepler, “Why did the system fail!”

Right after that, Kepler closed his television and walked to the kitchen, as he was going to have breakfast, he thought about the number 36 again.

“How come this number sounds so familiar?” He thought in his mind, “I’m sure that I’ve heard of it before”

As he had his breakfast, he was thinking about the number during the entire time; and because he was thinking too hard, his breakfast tasted pretty plain.

“I better go to the supermarket and get some supplies!” He thought as he stood up from his stool and starting to get prepared to go out.

Half an hour later, at 10 AM, he went out of his house, locked the door, and head toward the garage where he parked his car.

He didn’t think of anything too much, in fact, he was just being a safe driver.

A couple of minutes after he departed from his house, he had to stop since the traffic light turned red.

Another few minutes after, as he drove past the junction, no one knows what had happened, nor Kepler; but Kepler can’t remember anything after that.

…

Suddenly, Kepler opened his eyes, he was lying on his bed nice and clean.

“Was that just a dream, that something possibly bad happened to me?” Kepler thought in his mind.

Although Kepler was thinking in his mind, his voice sounds like he spoke it loud into his room.

“If that was a dream, that would be the roughest dream I’ve ever had,” thought Kepler again. And again, it sounds like he had spoken it out loud.

As he got off his bed, he felt like he lost 100 pounds.

“Whoa, I feel so light today!” thought Kepler as he walked along the hallway on the second story.

As he walked down the staircase, he heard something moving at the first story. He got scared for a second, then he looked down quietly, but no one was there.

Suddenly, he felt that someone was in the back of him, and looking at him. He was really scared, but he decided to turn his head back.

As soon as he turned his head back, a person with a black cloak covering his entire body, and a large sickle looking tool in his hand standing right in back of him.

Kepler tried to run down the staircase but he tripped himself, he rolled off the stairs and stopped in the kitchen.

Fortunately, Kepler wasn’t injured, adding up to that, he didn’t even feel the pain.

“I must be really lucky that I didn’t get hurt!” Kepler thought in his mind, again, his voice went around the house.

“Unfortunately, you are wrong!” said the person with a black cloak standing in front of him.

“Who are you? What are you doing in my house? And what do you mean I’m wrong?” Asked Kepler with fear.

“Can you not ask that much question at once, I didn’t catch them!” said the person.

“Give me a second”, said the person with a black cloak, “Let me take off my cloak!”

Like what he said, he took off his cloak and began to talk to Kepler in a completely different way, in a polite, and sincere way.

“Sorry for that!” said the person, “Did you got scared? And are you alright? I was just messing around with you!”

“Who are you?” asked Kepler as he tried to stand up.

“Sorry for that, my name is Reagan, I am a worker of the Heaven And Hell Association,” Reagon explained.

“The what association?” Kepler asked Reagon surprisingly.

“The Heaven And Hell Association,” Reagan repeated.

“What a weird name!” thought Kepler, “Are all the new companies named themselves like that?”

“No,” said Reagan, “It’s the Heaven and Hell where dead people belong to!”

“I am the worker that brings all the dead people’s soul to Heaven or Hell, depends on which one they belong to, I am the Soul Director, or Reaper as you humans living on the Earth know,” Reagan added up to what he said.

“So you’re here to kill me?” Asked Kepler as he sat back down on the ground.

Reagan smiled, as he helped Kepler stand up from the floor.

“Don’t you feel the difference of your body today?” Reagan asked.

“Yeah?" said Kepler, "I feel lighter and what I'm thinking is always loud."

"Wait!" Kepler shouted after analyzing, "Does that mean that I'm……?"

"You're dead" Reagan claimed, "You were dead yesterday".

"This can't be true!" shouted Kepler. "I must be dreaming!".

"Yes I'm dreaming", thought Kepler in his mind.

"You can squeeze your face if you want to!" said Reagan.

"I will prove that I am", Kepler said as he squeezed his face.

So Kepler squeezed his face.
