1 Embarrassment

It happened so suddenly… I was walking with some friends on our way to get something to eat and in just a few moments I was gone.

The moment flashes in my mind… [my friend] took one wrong step and began stumbling into the road, as I leapt forward to try to desperately pull her out of the way of the incoming truck… she… suddenly changed stances, jumping back out of the road, essentially breaking my ankles, leaving me thrown off by her sudden quick movements to stumble into the incoming traffic.

As I tried to regain my footing to get out of the way, it all went black. I felt like facepalming myself out of embarrassment in the darkness… all of my plans for the future, all of my efforts until this point just to go out in such an embarrassing way… speaking of… "Where am I?" I thought to myself feeling nothing but darkness around me.

I hear a sharp inhale as I feel a light envelop my body and hear a voice say "Ehm… sorry you should be able to open your eyes now" I open my eyes to a bright misty landscape with a grandiose structure as I stand before a huge gate.

A tall, burly, man stands before me with a serious expression on his face and continues to say with a hearty voice "You are at the pearly gates, my friend. After your… er… unfortunate accident your time on Earth has come to an end." I cringe internally as he paused before saying accident. "But ah don't feel too embarrassed, that girl really juked you good!" he exclaimed after noticing my embarrassment. "Well I'm [name], and while this life has come to an end, this is the beginning of –" he was suddenly drop kicked out of my range of sight by the buffest woman I had ever laid eyes on.
