1 Chapter 1: Awakening in the Unknown

"I feel nothing. How much time has passed? I don't know. The only thing I know is that I died. I don't know how I died, but I am sure that I died peacefully, lonely, and most importantly, I died as a normal Joe. Even my name is Joe, how funny is that? How I died and why I died are not important. The first important thing is where the heck am I? I tried to move my hand, but it, damn it, doesn't move."

After about twelve minutes, I finally managed to move my finger, but not my whole hand. Then, after about an hour, I could move my hand and body. I stood up and looked around, but unfortunately, I couldn't find anything. There was a faint light source, and eventually, I found something. It looked like a bag, no, a body - a dead body, but I wasn't sure. I moved closer to it, attempting to walk, but my body felt heavy. Slowly and steadily, I managed to move closer to the body and touch it. I felt nothing, but I knew I touched it because I saw my hand touching the body. The darkness blinded my eyes, so I couldn't see his face clearly, but I know he is about thirty or forty. I need a light source; I need to see clearly. So, I stand up and move around in the room. Finally, I found a lamp beside a bed. I open the switch, and finally, I can see where I am.
