Hello everyone!

Thank you!
What...
Where am I...?
What happened?
why can't I see anything?
oh...
I remember I was trying to save a little girl from getting hit by that truck...but I got hit instead...
I hope that little girl is ok....
wait... AM I DEAD!!!
{Flashback.....
It's night time, and everyone was going home to their family's. All except one...
Me... I'm James, James Boone. I'm 46 and still don't have a girlfriend... or boyfriend. I have average looks, average job, everything about me is normal.
I wear flannels, hoodies, jeans, stretchy pants, basically the first thing I see in my closet. I have a cat named butters, he's a yellow tabby with a black mustache. He's the closet thing I have to friends right now, or family. I have done nothing important in my life, that's one of the things I would regret along with many other things if I died.
Oh boy...
The street lights are Beautiful right now, it's like a thousand fireflies. I live in New York, yes, The big apple. It's a good life compared to some other peoples lives but not so much when trying to get home after a long day at work.
Everyone is all out trying to get home so its kinda hard to walk on the sidewalk without getting bumped into another person.
While I was walking through the herd of people bumping into someone on occasion. I would say a subtle sorry and keep walking. I was suddenly startled when I heard the cry of someone in the distance. "EMILY GET OUT OF THE ROAD!"
What? My eyes darted around but I finally looked up to see a little girl about 6 or 7 about to get run over by a snicker doodles truck!
She obviously didn't see the truck coming since she was to busy trying to get her scarf, which had drifted into the road. My wide, fearful eyes looked around at all the startled faces waiting for someone to try and help her. They never move one step but rather just stood still and watched.
What! Why is NO ONE trying to help! My eyes turned back to the little girl. I couldn't let her die... not on my watch. I clenched my teeth and took off running.
'I HAVE TO SAVE HER!'
That was all that was flashing repeatedly through my mind!
I pushed and shoved people out of the way, until I was was right across the road from her. The truck was to close so I jumped... and as I jumped in between the little girl and the truck. I could see the head lights of the truck coming right at us but before it hit us.
I reached the little girl and I wrapped my arms around her as the truck came crashing into us... I could hear a sickening crack within my chest and I could tell it pierced something vital. As the little girl and I tumbled to the ground I hit my head onto the hard concrete causing gasp of air to leave my body. We traveled a few feet until we finally stoped sliding.
I could feel the cool liquid fall down my face with a metallic scent to it. I spit up the blood in my mouth, as I grimaced at the pain flowing through my body. A painful chuckle escaped my bleeding mouth.
it quickly turned into a groaned of pain as my entire body was pulsing and throbbing. As my fuzzy head looked around. I could see blurry figures lined up along the road with their phones up... taking photos.
It made me realize... that this world is... blind... and heartless. I averted my eyes to the little girl next to me. I couldn't help but smile at the little girl, she had a couple bruises and bumps, but I knew she would be okay.
"OH, EMILY!"
I heard the voice of a female come closer as sobs escaped from the woman's mouth. Once the lady reached my sight I could see a tender hearted woman with brown wavy hair and nice chocolate eyes full of tears. she leaned down and scoped the child up in her arms. She looked over at me in shock but I could see she was grateful. She frowned with tears streaming down her face.
"Thank you.."
As I looked at her I smiled.
"take c-care of her.."
The pain in my body soon began to fade as I seen bright red and blue lights in the distance coming closer. Everything after that is a blur but I could feel the blood dripping down my side as I finally drew my last breath.
{End of flashback...}
So I'm really dead
I don't want to be dead though..
My cat needs me.... Nevermind butters would probably be happy I'm gone along with everyone else.
I looked around but all I could see was nothing... it was empty and dark.
so this is the after life
I looked down and squeezed my hands shut and opened them. well my hands work, with a bored look I looked around taking in my surroundings. I deadpanned, this is a terrible after life... there's nothing even here.
I sighed then tried to move.
"ouch..." wow I can still feel pain. I could feel my body throbbing from the pain and and its was killing me.... hehe pun intended
I tried to ignore the pain as I stood on my wobbly feet.
That's stupid, why do I still feel pain if I'm dead? Why am I dead? Why did god want me to die anyways, or want that little girl to die?! Is that all part of his big master plan!
As I felt my fury flow through my veins as I thought of what happened. I opened my mouth and screamed.
"YOU STUPID GO-"
Before I could finish I got interrupt by a loud and power full voice..
"YOU DARE SPEAK OF ME THAT WAY YOU INSECT!"
The voice was very deep and echoed around me in the dark void. it sent shivers down my spine causing me to freeze and look around hastily.
"W-who are you" The stutter in my voice made the person give out a chuckle... even his chuckle was send shivers down my spine.
"I AM A GOD... THE ONE THAT BROUGHT YOU HERE... THE ONE THAT IS GOING TO GIVE YOU ANOTHER CHANCE"
"What...." my fear disappeared and was replaced with confusion, I relaxed a bit. my head tilled at what the god had said, I pointed my finger to my chest in confusion. "Me?" I could hear the god sigh harshly.
"YOU HEARD ME... ANOTHER CHANCE, ANOTHER LIFE, A GIFT IF YOU WILL"
after that my brain was over heating from shock and the gears turning in my head was that of a huge machine.
"wait you mean like when human get reincarnated...right? Oh my god...or well you.. this is amazing so your saying people get reincarnated, like in the fanfics and books I used to read when I was alive! Am I going to get turned into a human, or an animal." I continued on babbling, my words were non English and just gibberish causing the god to sweat slightly.
"UHHH YEAH...LETS JUST GO WITH THAT"
My eyes lit up so much that they looked like stars as my smile spread from ear to ear, "THIS IS SO COOL! What are you the god of? Are you sending me back to earth or to another world? Wait do you have a form.. like a human form? I always wondered what a god looked like.."
"HAHAH YES IT IS SO MAJESTIC I JUST WONDER IF YOUR EYES CAN TAKE IT!!"
The god was sweating as it tried to avoid the other questions. While I was practically jumping up and down like a fan girl but I quickly composed myself. no, I can't act like this. I'm 46 years old, I'm not a child.. stay calm James.
After a few hours of talking to the god I found out many things. Like this god was very obnoxious, self centered, among other things... but they did tell me a lot of things about what happens when someone dies! Many actually get reincarnated!
Depending on how they lived their life before they will get reincarnated by a god into something else besides a human. I found out hitler got turned into a worm.
It was insightful learning more about the world and different ones. But even thought learning about everything was thrilling I decided that it was best to look around and try to get out of here. I decided just to follow my instincts and go in a random direction.
As I was looking around I seen light up ahead in the direction I was going toward. "What's that" as I got closer I came upon a garden. In the middle of the garden was a pavilion with rose bushes growing around it.
it was a beautiful garden so many flowers it looked as if the entire garden was a rainbow. "Wow this.. this is AMAZING!" as I was walking my walk turned into a full on sprint. When I got to the top, I fell down on the rainbow flowers. My body melted into the soft flowers as I took in all the fragrant smells.
"These flowers are so soft."
as I laidback in the softness of the flowers a voice interrupted me.
"SO YOU FOUND MY HOME! MEOW! CONGRATULATIONS.... SO YOU NOW CAN FEST YOUR EYES UPON MY AMAZING FORM! MEOW!"
I shot strait up upon hearing that Familiar voice. As I looked around I seen nothing but a beautiful garden.
until I seen it...
a creature...
It had pointed ears... paws... and a face like a cats with a cute little nose... it was so cute!
As the cat got up and was now standing on two legs, it was half the size of me.. it did a dramatic pose...
"Now you see my beautiful self gaze upon my body, Meow! for you may not touch but you may look, Meow!"
His voice was very squeaky and high pitched.
The so called god... was a cat a white cat to be exact. It had a little pink nose that was almost the color of a strawberry. The in side of its ears where almost the same color as well. Besides that it was a white cat with really oddly blue eyes. It kind of reminded me of the ocean.
"Your a c-"
before I could say anything I was cut off by Mr cat god.
"Yes yes, meow! I know my form is to breath taking... the curses of being beautiful, meow!"
I sweated slightly as I felt my hand twitch.
Wow can you be that full of yourself.
Before the cat could say anymore I beat him to it.
"So your a cat... like in a cat god"
As the cat looked at Me it's eye twitches.
"Yes yes, meow! I'm a cat god, meow!" Mr cat god said that in a agitated voice as if he was going to claw someone's eyes out.
As he glared a me with a killer aura.
I couldn't hold myself back anymore and My hand reached out before I could stop it. it landed on the top of the cat gods head. "You just so adorable." I whispered as I looked at the cat with sparkles in my eyes.
It was like the killer aura disappeared, The cat froze but then I could feel the cat shake under my hand.
"TAKE YOUR HA-"
My hand started to gently scratch the top of his head cutting the cat off. Before I knew it I was crouching on the ground petting the cats belly, "yes right there, meow. Be grateful you get to touch me, meow. I will deal with you later, meow." I sighed softly as I listened to the cats threats.
He was very rude and self centered but his cuteness made up for that. I continued to pet the cat where it told me but I could only pray that things could go well.
Please anyone save me from this obnoxious cat!
