"Hey, look at me"

A strange voice in the distance seems to talk to me, who is that? What does it want from me?

"Look at me. I'm here...Lift your head, Michael."

I did just as I was told to, but I only saw a purple horizon stretching as far as I could see, and my body was somehow sinking into the infinite emptiness.

"What do you want from me?"

All I got out of it was a simple giggle.

"Nothing."

"Who are you?"

"I'm the nothingness."

"This doesn't make sense"

"Nothing makes sense. Your life is simply meaningless, but that's about to change."

"It's not meaningless, I got a beautiful family, my own house, and a job that I love."

"That is only what you think. I see only a life devoid of unicity in you, a repeated cycle where the only thing that changes are the people performing. As if it were a spectacle."

"What do you mean? I don't get it."

"Your life is identical to the others'. "

"You're wrong. My life is different."

"No, it's not."

"I will ask you again, what do you want from me?"

This time, the only answer I got was an empty silence, dissipating in the endless cold world that I found myself in. But that silence was interrupted by the voice.

"We'll meet again young man."

"HEY! COME BACK!" My shouting was meaningless since it did not bring back the voice.

Slowly, the purple horizon was beginning to disappear, and I could finally begin to see the light, even though it was very unclear.

"The patient is mumbling something. He's waking up."

"Put him to sleep, for now, we can't treat him if he's awake."

Just as he said that I could feel a tremendous fatigue setting upon me.

I could not resist.

I felt as if my body was falling under the vast, cold, empty sea.

Where am I going to?

"Am I even alive? Just what could've happened?"

"What is this..?"

I suddenly began to see some of my memories, almost as if it was some sort of movie. I saw a baby in the hands of a young blonde woman standing in a bed, then I realized it was me. That's my mother, holding me in the first days of my life.

The next image brought up so many memories, I saw myself again but on the ground, dirty and full of mud, both on my face and clothes, yet ... I was smiling; then another picture comes in, I and my wife were sitting at a white round table surrounded by our beautiful children, but this time the image keeps zooming in to my wife's face...

"I don't get it"

The image is slowly fading away, leaving an empty dark screen; something keeps slowly appearing on the screen; some random letters that are changing so fast that I can't read them, however, one by one they keep appearing

"A..r..e..y..o"

"Are you rea..d..y"

"Are you ready?" I asked, "For what exactly?"

"M..e..a"

"Meaningfu..l"

"Meaningful li..f..e"

"Meaningful life? What?"

"G..e..t..."

"Get ready..."

I simply couldn't understand, just what does that thing want from me. First, it's that damn voice with its "meaningful" life, and now I find myself in this place, sinking into the eternal abyss as if I were dead. Just how did I end up here anyway? I can remember clearly I was in some surgery room, but what brought me there?

"Voice Acquired. Initiating procedure" my train of thought was interrupted by another voice. Just how many voices will I keep hearing today?

"Am I crazy or what..." I said muttering to myself

"My assessment finds no mental illnesses."

"What?.."

"..."

"Who are you?"

"I'm Keppy, your assistant."

"What? Where'd you come from?"

"I've been assigned to help you for the rest of your life"

"Keppy, where am I right now?"

"In a point where space and time separate from each other"

"Impossible. Just what happened before all of this?"

"You died."

"...- WHAT?!"

"..."

"I'm dead... haha. This explains everything... My children are now fatherless, my wife is now a widow... hahaha, such a cruel fate"

"Warning, unusual sadness levels detected. Proceeding with aura magic"

"Wha-" and suddenly I feel as if nothing happened "Basically I can't even have emotions now... Well... Keppy, how did I die?"

"Answer:" suddenly a video appears on the same screen as before, I see myself but from an outside perspective... I was outside a mansion, alongside three dozen men or so, we were all wearing dark helmets with our faces covered by a balaclava alongside a sturdy yet lightweight bulletproof vest; I could see many figures in the shadows who were firing upon us; we were raiding them, advancing at every possibility. I suddenly saw myself alongside four other men going up to a staircase , one of them was holding a shield in front of him almost as if he was the spearhead of our formation ; a bunch masked figures , shooting at us from the front behind the furniture ; the video then changes the scene to another room , it was a beautiful one to say the least since it had a large fireplace , a few dark wood tables and so much more , then I saw on the floor two of our team members were on the floor motionless in a pool of blood whilst the remaining including me kept pushing forward into the next room ; the video cuts to another scene where I was hit in the right side of my body from a place which I could not see and fell on my back ; one of my mates tried saving me but he was killed before he could do anything ; then a well dressed man with gray hair and round glasses came out of the shadows and pointed a pistol to my head- but then he was shot by someone who was behind me and then he fell to the ground thus filling the white curtains with his blood , yet I couldn't see who shot him ; then the video changes scene once again and I find myself in an ambulance before finally cutting off with one last scene , me standing on the surgery table.

"I finally remember now... Such a heroic death, all in the name of justice"

"Procedure finished. Initiating transfer."

"What are y-"
