Today is April 29 20XX.

It is a sunny day and here I am finding a store to buy myself a lunch. Roaming around the town as slow as a turtle would crawl.

Nevertheless, I still have my umbrella open as it is really hot outside.

While walking around, I could see countless people staring at me like I was a some kind of clown.

They were looking at me and then laughing their hearts out and I think I know the reason...

That girl I saw earlier threw a cake on my head and then saying 'your get-up is complete' like some kind of fashion designer.

I sigh as I said to myself, "I should give up finding lunch and just go home. I need a seriously long shower to do."

"Roman."

I flinch as I just heard someone call me out of nowhere. I took a look at my sorroundings and the people stopped staring at me. The voice gave me the creeps like it was Grim Reaper.

"Behind you."

I stopped suddenly but I didn't look behind. Reason being that if someone told you to look behind then there is bound to be something behind.

"You won't even take a look?"

I replied, "Not even once."

"Then... prepare to die."

As soon as the word 'die' came out of its mouth, I somersault towards the front and look at my soon-to-be-murderer and I was surprised to see that it was my office mate.

I asked, "What in the world happened to you?"

He just answered in reply, "Something tragic that happened to me and the reason was you."

Curious enough I told him to continue and he just said, "Reason being I was rejected by the girl I like and she just told me that she likes you. So please just die."

I replied to him, "I wouldn't just succumb to death just because of the rejection you just had."

I then got my pen out but would the other party really just tell me to die if he didn't have a weapon? Of course not.

He then showed the knife he had and told me one last time, "Die Roman."

I just said, "I'll atleast take you down with me."

As I said that, he dashed to me and thrust his knife to me but I just happened to got out of the way.

Pissed, he tried to slash at me and he successfully sliced my suit.

Also pissed that my suit were damaged I told him, "Hey! This suit was the prize of my hard-work!"

And he seemed to forget my umbrella as I thrust it into his stomach.

"Look at me properly!" As I said that, I punched his face so hard a tooth flew off.

"Get off me!" And there goes his knife thrust into my heart.

As soon as the knife was inches from my heart, I remembered the phrase that my father told me.

'Listen here Roman, once someone is near death, their body capabilities increases by 50% and that is the reason why a man can take another man with him."

As I remembered that, "Hey you huge *******, you are coming with me!"

And as the knife penetrate to my clothes, phone, and heart. My pen also got through his Adam's apple.

"Like I told you, you are dying with me." As I smile and my body fell to the ground.

As I fell, the cops just happened to have arrived at the scene and calmed down the civilians around the vicinity and made a quick judgement to make it off-limits.

'My body feels cold... ' I told that to myself as soon as I relaxed.

Is this how it feels to die? I never experienced parental love at all in my life... I was only took care of my relatives... what a complete waste.

As I thought that, a warm bright light enveloped me and then I was gone from the scene-of-crime.
