1 Chapter 1: The story of Liam

"Hi, I'm Liam. I draw comics for a living. It gets frustrating at times, but I love my job. I should really hire an assistant. I could get some help."

I posted an ad all around the town, and I headed back home. While I was waiting for a call, "BRIIIIIIIIIIIING!!!" the phone screamed.

"Hello?"

"Hello, I'm calling to find out more information about the assistant spot."

"Oh yes, if you want, we can meet somewhere to discuss. Is there anywhere you would like to meet?"

"There's a cafe near my place. How about there?"

"Sure. Text me the address."

"Would 4 be a good time for you?"

"Of course, see you there." I'm about to go see this person for the interview! I'm not sure how it's going to go, so let's just hope for the best!

I grabbed my keys and walked out the door. I got in my car and headed for the cafe. But all of a sudden, I started hearing honking. Not like a small car's honk, but a huge 8 wheeler's honks. I glanced in my rearview mirror, and I saw small cars. But right then and there, an 8 wheeler charged.

I held my breath and everything went white.

*************************************************************************************

I woke up and I saw bright lights. It got harder and harder to breathe. I felt a sharp sting to my left. I looked to my left and saw an EMT injecting anesthesia in me.

"Come on, stay with me, buddy."

"I... where...-"

"He's losing a lot of blood." I'm guessing that was the EMT that injected me.

"Hurry and drive faster!" Every minute that passed made me feel faint. I was light-headed and was going in and out of blackouts. After what seemed like forever, I felt them taking me out into the hospital on a stretcher. I saw a doctor and heard him jabber to the EMT's and nurses.

"He...undergo...major surgery..." I couldn't hear him, because my neck was killing me from whiplash. Wait! How was I losing a lot of blood? I was panicking, but when they put a mask on me, I quickly fell asleep.

It was all black. I felt really light, so I checked myself. I was perfectly fine! Then I saw it. My ribs were broken, and my right leg was twisted at an odd angle.

"Hey! Am I dead? How am I seeing my own body? Hey! Doctor! Where are you going? CAN YOU EVEN HEAR ME?!?!"

"Liam's time of death- 4:07 Pm. Cause of death- Hypovolemic shock." I put two and two together and found out that I am dead.

I was in shock now knowing I am dead. I saw a light and like a cat chasing a laser, I followed the light for who knows how long. I finally saw a building about 6 stories tall, but the light kept on leading me. I saw a lot of gloomy people working, typing on computers almost simultaneously! On the 6th floor, I went into an office and the light disappeared.

"Ah, Liam! I've been expecting you."

"Who?"

"Ah yes, forgive me for I am Alexandre, Allen Alexandre."

"Where?"

"You are in my office apparently"

"Why?"

"Because you're dead, monsieur. Now enough with the foolish questions. Come sit and tell me your story."

"Is there sometimes you'd like to do before you move on to your next life?"

"What? Ummmm yeah, I guess, I've spent my whole life working and I want to spend my life enjoying my life doing something else."

"Okay." Allen snaps his fingers, and like magic, a contract appears out of thin air.

"By signing this contract, you agree to have three more months of life-"

"Three months of more life? That's not enough!"

"Are you complaining, Monsieur? Please do not interrupt. After your three months are up, you must follow me to your next life."

"So are these 3 months just to clean up my last life?!"

"Yes, and that's that."

I scribbled on the paper and handed him the contract. And yet again, he snaps his fingers, but at the last second, I thought I saw him smirk.
