1 Rebirth??

A young man in his mid-20s enters a bar wearing a formal black suit with a small bag on his back. He had a sad expression while entering the bar. He went to a corner seat at the bar table and slammed his bag onto a seat next to him.

The bartender looks at him but didn't say anything like he was already used to this kind of behavior, he was an old man with long white hair complementary to his kind and gentle look. He looks at the young man and sighs, "Did you get rejected again?" to which he only gets a frustrated nod. He shakes his head at the young man's ethics "So regular or anything new?"

"Just get me regular with extra vodka and ice," the young man said.

"God, tell me when will I get a proper job it was 3rd rejection this week"

The bartender looks at the drunk young man babbling about his interview rejections again and again, it was a regular thing for this young man to come here and babble about his rejection, it was going on for the last 6 months. he comes here gets drunk and cries.

"Dont worry young man you still have a job, and will get a proper job soon plus if you drink like this your sister will worry even more" His sister used to take him home after he got way too much drunk so that's why the bartender knows her, She had told him to inform her if he gets drunks.

Currently, the young man was working as a waiter in a hotel although it's not that bad still he wants a proper job for his sisters and himself.

While they were talking about his sister, his phone rang. It was his big sister calling him, "Evans, where are you now? Why didn't you go to Ava's graduation ceremony? You know she wanted you to attend it with her so much." Her angry voice came from the phone startling the young man. He checks the calendar on his phone and sees it was his little sister's graduation ceremony today which he missed. He got sober hearing his sister's angry voice.

"I am so sorry, I had 2 interviews today and I got rejected so it slipped through my mind, I will come home right away and will ask for her forgiveness myself." he cut the call and paid for his drinks, looking at the old man "thanks for the drinks man, "said with a nod while picking up his back and rush out of the bar.

He went to a bakery and brought a cake with 'I am so sorry' written on it. When he left the bakery it start raining "Damn my rotten luck first I forget Ava's important day then I failed my interview and now it's raining and I don't have an umbrella "He cursed his luck and then rush to a gift shop to buy present for his sister on graduation.

He run out of the Shop with the bag in his hand and used his free hand to call Ava, after 2 rings it was received "What do you want?" she said furious voice but sadness can be heard in it." you already missed my important date, you didn't come I was all alone because you told big sis that you will come, and you still didn't. Did you know everyone's parents were there?" Her voice started to crack at the end and she started to cry on the phone and cut the call before he can even say anything.

we don't have parents as mom and dad both passed away, Mom was three years ago and dad passed away when we were kids so only me and my sisters are left. I and Ava were actually very close so I promised that we will go to her ceremony together but I messed up.

On the way home, a man ran towards him. Catching up from behind that man was a middle-aged woman screaming 'thief' at the top of her lungs. He was able to tell that the man running away was a thief.

He wanted to step aside and let the guy pass through to save himself some trouble than he already have but the thief swiftly took out a knife from his pocket. He wanted to use the knife to threaten people so they won't stop him but Evans's legs slipped on the wet street and soon he was in the middle of the path of the thief. As soon as he appeared in front of the thief, the knife was fiercely thrust into his chest. The pain made him tremble and made it difficult for him to breathe. In a few seconds collapsed on the ground, blood flowing out of him endlessly. He was experiencing an extreme amount of pain, and he knew he wouldn't survive long.

'What will they do now that I am going to die?'

'Will they be able to live happy lives now that I am dead?

He could feel his soul leaving his body as he thought about his two sisters, he can imagine their crying faces. he looks at the cake on the floor,' I wasn't able to even ask for Ava's forgiveness nor able to thank big sis Jane properly' He really loved both of them but he can't even do anything for them since their mom passed away jane took care of both of them, doing 2 jobs she even drops her plan of becoming fashion designer for them.

Before he even noticed it, his vision suddenly started to darken slowly until he couldn't see anything but pitch black.

He wondered if he had already died, for he could feel nothing. He felt like he was in that state for eons before even being able to barely feel something.

[After Some Time]

He could also feel his body, smell, and hear the sound of air flowing in the room. He was lying on something soft, probably a bed. He wondered if he was in the hospital and was somehow saved by a doctor.

He carefully tried opening his eyes, and they opened. He could see things around him. He then tried looking at his body but found no wound, nor a scar on his chest. he look at his hands but they were a little different than before they are a little small not much just a little.

He looked around the room he saw it was his room but he could see it was a little different, it contain his old books and manga, and he can his study table in the corner which should be in Ava's room.

He put his hand under his pillow and took out a phone, it was his old phone which he used while he was in high school. he unlock it as his eyes fixed on the date to be more specific the year it was showing. it says today was 19 February 2020.

His thoughts start to run wild.
