Chapter 3 - Chapter 3

"Well isn't that quite obvious?" Colton retorted as he got himself settled in the chair. "I'm asking what happens now."

"Well if you'd be a little more patient, I was gonna get to that."

The angel typed on her keyboard, causing a sped up series of events of all of Colton's life from birth to death to appear on the wall.

"Quite a pathetic life this was." Colton sighed.

"Yes, but that's what you agreed to last time you were here." The angel explained as she stared at Colton. "You see, there is a record of all the places you have been and all the things you've brought with you. It's confidential of course, but you chose to be a filler of earth and live a pathetic life for a choice in where you go next."

"So how do I choose where I want to go?"

"Once you figure that out yourself we will send you to a place similar to where you wish to go. Just think about major details and we will send you there."

"It's that easy?" Colton wondered how that would even work. "So you're telling me if I think about my perfect world you'll send me there with anything of my choosing?"

"That's the gist."

"Alright, give me a minute." Colton then went into deep thought about it for a while before he finally finished. "I think I've come up with what I wish."

"Ahh, yes. I can see you drew inspiration from your last life." The angel said as she looked at her monitor. "Now, pick anything you wish to go with you. That could be something as grandiose as almighty power or any item you could think up to something simple like a good family or being wealthy without worry of losing it. You say it, you've got it, but remember, you can only have one thing."

Colton then pondered on it for a while then finally piped up, "My memories."

"Hmm? Interesting. I would have never thought of that." The angel looked at Colton interestingly. "I'll have it done. Go ahead and stand on that platform and we will get you to where you need to be."

Colton walked over to the platform and climbed the few steps to stand on top of it.

"We will also give you a bit of a headstart when it comes to age so you won't have to struggle through the early years of life where you can't really do much." The angel explained before looking over at Colton. "Good luck in your new life."

Just as she finished her sentence a bright beam of light enveloped Colton as his vision filled with white.
