A Reset to life

It was a usual day where I grab a cup of coffee and head out to work. I worked at the company for more that 4 years as soon as I graduated from university. As usual I had to bear with director Kang's workaholic nature as he kept assigning me more reports to write and I ended up working overtime unpaid.

(Sara's phone rings as she was walking to a restaurant at 11 pm)

Sara: Hello, deputy director of marketing team speaking...

Unknown: Yes, good evening I deeply regret to inform you that we will no longer need your services and you can collect your paycheck tomorrow at 10 o'clock....chatter..chatter

I couldn't believe what I was hearing,' it possibly couldn't be..' but I couldn't bring myself to accept this. I had worked day and night at this company and even had to sacrifice my relationship because of the work load...

As I walked, I had no idea where I was heading to and walked to the crossroad.

As I crossed the road, I paid no attention to the traffic light...

(Car honking and lights flashed)

Bang....thud!

Sara: uh.. (bleeding continuously)

Unknown: hey! Hey! Are you okay?!... Someone call the ambulance... Hurry!!!

--------------------------------------------------------- * * * * ----------------------------------------------------------

I guess it was too late as by the time help arrived, I closed my eyes for the last time... This time for an eternal journey. I guess it was late for me to realise how much I missed out on life and I regretted many of my life choices...

In my last moments I didn't see my family nor did I see any of my friends... But I saw Chris, the only person who ever loved me for being myself...

I never realised I would regret dying this young as I thought I had given up on life 7 years ago..I guess I was wrong because as I faced death, I missed Chris so much that even as a soul I wanted to cry...

(In a white and black dimension)

Black reaper: Hello! oh you broken soul... I hope I don't have to explain what happened as you might have already guessed... You died in a car accident.

Sara: Yeah... I kinda regret not being able to enjoy this life..ya know....

Black reaper: I figured that much... Anyways, the reason I summoned you here is because I was quite surprised by the appearance of your soul in my realm of death as your kindling candle suggests otherwise.

Sara: (uninterested) yeah how astonishing.... So I'm guessing that whatever crap that is your talking about shouldn't concern me as I am supposed to live a happy eternal life?!

Black reaper: I think you are mistaken. The kindling candle is supposed to show your life line, which in human terms means it tells us your lifespan...

Sara: So I'm supposed to live a longer life but you took my soul to early?

Black reaper: Yes... However I cannot send you back to earth to the current timeline as your burial ceremony is already done, which means your corpse already started to decompose...

Sara: (disheartened) oh.. so I won't get to see Mylie(Sara's little sister) and Chris anymore...

Black reaper: However I could assign you a reincarnation or you could go back in time... But I highly doubt you would want relive that awful life as yours....

Sara: excited... Really?! How could I go back then??
