1 Chp1 : What Awaits After Death (Part 1)
*vrr...vrr...vrr...*
The sound of Siun's phone alarm rang in his 1 bedroom apartment, the walls of his apartment were painted pure white and his "bed" was an old crusty mattress placed in the corner of the room. Countless cardboard boxes piled up and were used as shelves, tables and chairs... Siun was dirt poor. Most of his furniture was carboard boxes, I bet if cardboard was waterproof Siun would have carboard cups.
Not only did the apartment scream poor, there were also no family photos or any personal decorations you would usually keep in your room. No childhood mementos...there was just dust and cobwebs.
The phone alarm rang for about 4 more minutes, until a scrawny hand reached out of the "blanket" ( newspapers stuck together with glue ) His hand reached up to his slim face and rubbed his eyes slowly. The thin figure stumbled to get out of bed and slowly walked to the bathroom to wash his face.
In the mirror you could guess that Siun was about the age of 32....
WRONG
Siun was at the ripe age of 20!
his dark eyebags and his disheveled beard..... his disheveled everything added a whopping 12 years to his age!
Siun got changed out of his pajamas and got dressed to go to work
"I dont want to go to work, I wish I could die and be reborn with a golden spoon in my mouth..." Siun sighed.
Siun worked at a convenience store located near a shady alley, it was the only place that would hire someone like him. His worn down appearance would scare away all the customers and leave the convenience store barren.
At the convenience store it was like every other day... sometimes the occasional customer would stop by and look at Siun's disheveled self and try to continue their shopping without making any sort of eye contact with him... Siun was truly pitiful
As Siun was about to to ask the customer for payment, a robber crashed through the window holding 2 guns.
"HEY CASHIER! HAND OVER ALL THAT MONEY IN THE CASH REGISTER"
"AHHH PLEASE DONT SHOOT, STORE CLERK DO SOMETHING!" the customer who refused to make eye contact with Siun cried out, how ironic.
Siun was enraged...not because the customer treated him like air and only acknowledged his existence because of the robber, but because this wasn't his damn job!
Siun's job as a minimum wage worker was to look after the store and stock items!
Not to risk getting shot for a shitty customer! Not being a meat shield! He wasn't paid to do this!
"KAHAHA THAT STORE CLERK IS TOO SCARED OF ME TO EVEN REPLY!"
"FINE IF YOU WONT DO ANYTHING I WILL!" The customer yelled as they rushed towards the robber in attempt to tackle him and take his guns from him
And surprisingly the customer was so damn fast, what was he doing wasting his time buying groceries he should be in the Olympics placing considerably well.
The customer succeeded in taking one of the guns but the robber still held another in his other hand. The other gun slid across the floor and stopped right in front of Siun, and Siun picked it up.
The customer looked towards Siun signaling to him to shoot the robber. The robber took advantage of this to grab the customer's neck and managed to choke hold him.
"YOU CLERK, DONT YOU DARE SHOOT OR THIS GUY GETS IT!"
Siun didn't know what to do, he was in quite a bind.
He couldn't alert the police because the robber would instantly shoot him. He couldn't shoot the robber because Siun didn't know how to use a gun, if he tried to shoot the robber from this distance he would probably miss, and in the worst case scenario it would hit the customer.
Basically whatever Siun did it would end up with someone dying to a gun. So Siun stood there and put his hands up.
"GOOD GOOD HAHA, NOW GIVE ME THE MONEY!"
"Sir, there is no money in the cash register the man you are choke holding is the first customer of the day" Siun replied calmly.
The robber looked dumbfounded, he quickly pulled out his phone and looked at the time.
15:30pm
The robber looked backed up at Siun, he couldn't believe that he was almost tricked by this store clerk. It was 15:30 and he said they have had no customers?!
BLASPHEMY!
"YOU STORE CLERK DO YOU THINK IM AN IDIOT GO GET ME THE CASH FROM THE REGISTER NOW!"
Siun didn't know what to do anymore, he was actually telling the truth. He slowly walked to the cash register trying to come up with a plan. Siun's mind was a mess, the only thing that came to mind was to shoot himself with the gun he had in his hand, Siun thought killing himself was surely a better option than being killed by a complete stranger.
[ Siun : Now that I think about it even if I do make it out alive, the money that's going to pay for all of this damage to the store will come out of my paycheck... ]
Siun opened the cash register, then all of the sudden…
*BANG*
…
The robber and the customer stood in shock, Siun has shot himself right in between his eyes.
Siun has died…
