Average Ore

"What am I doing with my life?"

I ask myself every morning the exact same question.

Couldn't remember most of my daily activities, except hanging out with friends and studying at school. Hobbies were a thing too.

"I, Ore, could've done anything I want! Yet here I am...in this white void...literally.....wait."

And that's when I realized: "WHERE I AAAAAAMMMMM?!"

Pure white space. That's all I could see. Floating in the air, hearing nothing except my own thoughts.

"Oh no oh no oh nooooo! I can't believe it's the end!"

I tend to press the panic button unconsciously.

"Man, it's like I'm dead or something!"

Apparently I was, or wasn't. There was no way to confirm it.

"I can't believe I'm dead....If I knew something like this would've happened, I should've prepared in advance! Like, writing something for my family or at least taking food for the afterlife!"

There's no food in the afterlife.

"Wait...there's no food in the afterlife."

Took me quite longer to realize that back then.

"Okay, so considering I'm dead, It would've been nicer if I had some company here!"

Putting my pride aside, I screamed to the white void.

"Helloooooooo?"

*Nothing but an echo. Sometimes I tend to get amused by these things*.

"I guess I'm alone, huh. Okay Ore, don't give up. Trust your guts. If you're gonna spend time alone here, do it in style!"

With even more pride to throw away, I started dancing to the music in my head.

Hip-Hop, Rock, Techno, There were memories of legends that I never managed to meet, but I always listened to their music.

"....Hmm, it's not the same as actually listening to music. If only I had my phone....wait, I DON'T HAVE MY PHOOOONE?!"

Sounds like I put my mind on silent mode. It was too late.

"Now it's gonna be soooooo boring in the afterlife! No internet, no funny videos of cats, no more communication!"

I was very attached to my phone.

"Oh well. Looks like there's nothing left to do about it. I'll pass the time by staring into the white space....maybe it'll stare back to me."

With nothing left to try, I kept my eyes over nothingness.

After a few moments, I had a thought.

"Thinking back, my life was pretty average, huh..I mean, maybe I could do something better! Like playing basketball in an official team!"

And suddenly, a strange but very convenient gate appeared.

"OH! This must be the very convenient way back home! SO I'M NOT DEAD! Thank the heavens...."

As I walked into the gate with a happy face, I've yet to realize that this was only the beginning of many opportunities to come...

"Whoever did this to me, I'll make sure they're gonna pay- .....Wait, I don't remember living in a basketball stadium."

...But ironically, realization escalated quickly.
