19th May 2021

My alarm was ringing it was 5 am, I waked up early as always to go out for some roadwork. While I was running the only thing that came to my mind was my lover Talia Rosary. Today I was gonna visit her at the hospital.

Today was the last day I visit her then its all over. It was 6 am, I went inside Talia's room she was asleep I sat next to her and hold her soft hand, and stared at her beautiful sleeping face.

"Talia are you asleep?" I asked she didn't respond.

"Good cause I wanna say something to you and it's better if you listen."

I pulled out my phone and recorded a voice message that I would send her later.

"Talia you always knew what kind of man I was; arrogant, ignorant, selfish, and worst of all, violent. despite all that you were kind to me and stuck by my side at the worse of times. All this time I was alone and I always hated myself but you made me feel better about myself. I don't wanna be alone again cause I can't imagine living in a world without you so just this once let me be selfish for you. Even after I'm gone please continue to live your life, find a job, get married, have kids and grandkids, and live a complete life. You deserved to live your life cause you're my savior" I said that while crying, then I stood up and kissed her gently.

"This is goodbye," I said as I left the room.

My name is Niam Borne. I am a 21-year-old college studying Fine arts. I was born and raised in Silver City the biggest city in the world. My parents died in a car crash when I was 8 years old, me and my twin brother Mian survived the accident. After the loss of our parents, our grandfather James Borne who was the most wealthiest man in Silver City, he raised us.

I always had a rebellious nature while my brother was obedient and cause of that I was distant from them. Sure my grandfather took responsibility for providing me all the necessities I needed like food, clothing, and education, also an allowance of rich kid and in return, I behaved.

He was always proud of my brother since he was a genius scholar who was obedient to him. However, when it came to me there was only one thing that my grandfather was proud of. When there was something doing done wrong I always stood up for others cause of that I always made heaps of trouble which my grandfather always overlooked.

For e.g, during middle school, I crippled a great number of delinquents who acted like thugs around school, in high school I killed a few assholes who were responsible for the suicide of an innocent student, and in college not only did I crippled a rich ass bastard but also destroyed his wealthy family exposing all their corrupted activities, screwed enough to go bankrupt and swarmed in debt life completely destroyed.

For things like those, my grandfather was proud of me. I spent most of my life playing games cause I never got along with people cause after those incidents they became afraid of me.

Talia used to be friends with me in middle school she was a bright student with good grades, beautiful enough to make the guys fall for her but physically she was always very weak due to her weak heart. She was an orphan and she was adopted by a rich family who put under lots of pressure who only kept her as a doll. She became friends only because I acted differently with her. Everyone saw her as the perfect woman but only I saw her differently by making her stop acting like everything was okay with her life and made her express her true feelings. I was there for her and made her act out of her true feelings and cause of that she was truly happy around me. After middle graduation, she moved away.

We met again in college her family abandoned her after she refused to obey them, she was tired of living as a doll. We became friends again and then we started dating knowing what kind of a person I was, she still loved me and tolerated me. I was a sad and lonely man who was always alone and distant from everyone I created boundaries, she went past them and saved me. On my 20th birthday, we shared a true night of passion and vowed to always be together.

We were happy together and I was going to propose to her after graduation but our happy days came to an end. During our date, she felt a pain in her chest and passed out, I took her to the hospital, and turned out her heart had gotten weaker and she needs her heart to be replaced but her blood group was special, ab negative a blood group only 0.6 percent people had in the world and it would cost millions of dollars to find her donor. I could ask my grandfather for the money and he would give me the money but it was too late. She knew about her symptoms and she pretended like everything was okay so that she could keep me happy. She only had a week to live and she was running out of time.

Luckily I found a way to save her, it turns out I had the same blood group as her. The only way for Talia to live was for me to die. In order to save her, I was ready to die. Why wouldn't I? she was there for me when I needed her and it's time that I should be there for her.

Today was my last day to live, my operation was on the next day until then I played some games at the arcade and at home, had my last meal, for meal KFC mighty zinger, Mcdonald's big mac, Burger king whopper, Hardee's triple beef burger, large grilled chicken cheese pizza from Pizza hut, Jubilee and popeye fried chicken also buffalo wings, ramen, Korean beef Garlic, and chili fries, chow mein, spaghetti with meatball, chicken cheese pasta, fried rice, and sweet and sour chicken, as for drink sodas and milkshakes I was not into alcohol, and for dessert ice cream, pie, ice cream shake, custard, and cakes. I felt like doing a Matt Stonie challenge as a professional eater.

It took me a whole day to finish my last meal and I destroyed my stomach.

Before my operation, I went to see my parent's graves and thanked them for the life they gave me. I also recorded my last messages for my grandfather and Mian my brother.

Finally, it was time I send my messages and went inside from there everything was over.

I opened my eyes everything was dark around me and I was naked, I walked around and found a man. I ran towards him and said.

"Hey excuse me?" I said to him

"Looks like you finally arrived," said the man. The man was very tall around 6'11 his hair was long and white, his eyes were red and his skin was pale. He was beautiful the most good-looking man I have ever seen.

"Huh? what do you mean?" I asked him.

"I was waiting for you," said the man.

"Waiting for me, wait a minute, aren't I suppose to be dead? there is no way I would survive the operation " I said as I was confused and panicking.

"No, you are dead? This place is the above where the fate of human souls is decided" said the man.

"What? What are you saying? Who are you?" I asked him.

"Forgive me for the late introduction my name is Azrael also known as the Angel of Death and I will help you decide your fate, Niam Borne," said the man.

"What the ?" I said.
