A Chance
After my university classes completed. I made my way towards the bus stop.
In head, I think of a family completely different from my own. I think of a world set in a novel I read yesterday.
I think of parents, who are in love. As stand on the edge of the crosswalk.
The buzz of the light brought me out of my fantasy.
It was the middle of the day, but it wasn't crowded like usual.
I walked as I laugh thinking of a fun scenario in my head.
Then, I could call process what happened.
I found myself on the ground, it took me moments to understand I felt pain gut wrenching pain.
I taste a metallic flavour in my head, it took me a moment to find out my body was hurting and all I felt was pain and blood.

I opened my out to whisper in a small painful voice, "M...Mom it hurts."
And as if someone switched off the light, I felt darkness as my consciousness faded.
When I opened my eyes I wasn't in a hospital bed.
But I was floating in air, I thought it should be hurting, but my body felt light.
I was wearing a white dress, I looked around. I was standing on water but I felt nothing.
I didn't feel the wetness of water nor I heard a sound.

I spoke out loud in a confused voice, "Hello anyone here."
But nothing happened, I expected my voice to echo, but I heard no echo-
Then a blinding light made me shut my eyes.
Then I heard a voice loud and authoritative.
"OPEN YOUR EYES, AND THROUGH THE PORTAL HUMAN."
As of my body moved on its own I opened my eyes to see the surrounding changed it beautiful hues.
I couldn't help but marvel at the beauty, but remembering what the voice said I moved and let the portal engulf me.
I opened my eyes to see what screams money, power and luxury.
Not only that, but I couldn't help but think, have I transmigrated into a rich person.
I screamed in my head but then-

"No you didn't transmigrate."
Engel (Author)
"But if you want I can do that."

Huh....??
Cynthia Hawkins (Mc)
Huh.....?!
Cynthia Hawkins (Mc)
Huh....!!
Cynthia Hawkins (Mc)
What the hell... did she just appear out of nowhere and is this a talking chocolate girl.
Cynthia Hawkins (Mc)
Mortified
Engel (Author)
"Stop making that face, you look like dead fish on its expiry date."
Cynthia Hawkins (Mc)
"WHAT THE HELL."
Cynthia Hawkins (Mc)
"You are speaking, did I go crazy from having an accident. Is this some prank from my brain to console the dying me."
Engel (Author)
"Hahaha(sarcastic laugh) you are so dumb... if you are done pretending let's get down to business."
Cynthia Hawkins (Mc)
"What business."
Engel (Author)
"I am CFO of fictional reality. My name is Engel."
Cynthia Hawkins (Mc)
"CFO of what."
Engel (Author)
"Impolite human. And your question is irrelevant. You should ask me. Why you are here."
Cynthia Hawkins (Mc)
"Well, why should I ask you that (wiggle her eyebrows) because dude seriously I don't mind staying here in this luxury."
Engel (Author)
"Damn either you are dumb or you are sick in the head."
Cynthia Hawkins (Mc)
"Well it's not everyday you have this, whatever the CFO thing happening to you happen."
Cynthia Hawkins (Mc)
"Let me enjoy my fantasy."
Engel (Author)
I ignored the dumb human. And with a cool and composed attitude said, "So congratulations (with a fake cheery voice) you are given a chance. You can be reborn in another world or can go back to your world in the past."
Engel (Author)
"If you want, we will send you to the past, so you can change your mother's destiny."
Cynthia Hawkins (Mc)
"Ohh... so cool but what's the catch."
Engel (Author)
"I looked at her with questioning eyes pretending I didn't understand what she means.
Cynthia Hawkins (Mc)
"I mean why giving me this chance. You don’t expect me to believe its free."
Engel (Author)
"Oh.. ok I hear you. Alright you can go back in past and help your mom. Best of luck."
Cynthia Hawkins (Mc)
"Wait-
Engel (Author)
"Now off you go."
