Episode 1

Blinking the sleep out of my tired eyes, I turn to face the cold side of my pillow. The rays of golden sun infiltrating my humble room lit up the dark surroundings, drawing patterns on the floor and walls. Once again I had spent the day sleeping, eating, and doing nothing in particular. Sure, there have been days where I'd attempt to do something productive like cooking, cleaning, taking a walk... well that's about it. Why should I make an effort to do something when I have no particular need?

I have a nice family. They care for me and love me more than what I ask for. Of course, that includes sending me an allowance every week or so. Currently, they're away on a romantic wedding anniversary getaway, so that leaves me here alone to do whatever I feel like doing, even if that's lying in bed until it gets dark.

I'm completely happy with the way I do things. Getting a job and being a functioning member of society is something I have yet to do in all 23 years of my life. If anything, I prefer staying at home and leading a peaceful life full of absolutely nothing. I don't really bother anyone and barely go outside of my room. I bet if I mysteriously died no-one would notice I was ever missing.

I take a look around my small room. As always, piles of dirty clothes are scattered on the floor in an orderly mess. Taking a long yawn, I slowly get to my feet and stumble across the floor to the bathroom. Staring at myself in the mirror, I'm almost taken aback by my unruly reflection. Messy mouse-brown hair framed my face, sticking to the dried drool on my cheek. Large dark circles lined my bloodshot eyes. I bend down to the faucet and wash my face with cold water.

Walking slowly back to my bed, I flop down onto the mattress, closing my eyes for just another moment before hearing my stomach grumble in protest against my newly discovered hunger. Not bothering to get up and grab myself a snack, I try to stifle my hunger with some more sleep. Curling up into a small ball I begin to drift back off to dreamland.

Suddenly my calm sleep is interrupted by another growl originating from my stomach. Was I really that hungry? Opening my eyes again my face twists into a grimace as an instant pang of gut-wrenching pain spreads throughout my body.

"AHH!"

A burning sensation was quickly filling me, tearing me from the inside out. What was this feeling? This uncontrollable pain was something I had never experienced before. Wracking my brain for an explanation, the pain was only growing worse. As far as I knew, I had never had any medical problems, so this must be something normal right? Something common right? Then it came to me. While spending my time in my room, my only hobby was browsing the internet for entertainment. During my journey for entertainment, I had watched a number of medical dramas. A common pain, that originates from the stomach area. Could this be appendicitis?

With my limited medical knowledge, this is the only explanation I could think of.

It must be... "ARG"...

The pain was becoming more and more impossible to manage. No way, am I going to die? Here? Now?

This is not how I pictured it. I thought I was going to live a long, uneventful life. Even though I didn't have anything I wanted to do in particular, this is still not how I wanted it to end!

Black stars were beginning to cloud my vision. The pain was the only thing I could focus on, how long has it been since the pain started? An hour. It seemed to be much faster with all my senses being dulled. I was slowly starting to lose consciousness.

This is it... this is how I die. After accepting it, it seems so much easier to let go. What happens after death? Will I be reincarnated? That might not be so bad. No matter how much I think about it, I can't see myself doing anything other than nothing. Maybe I'll be a rock in my next life, that way, I can do nothing professionally.

If there's anything I could wish for...

"I wish I could have a simple next life. I wish my next life would be spent doing exactly the same thing as I have all this time, nothing!!"
