"BREAKING NEWS! The famous billionaire, the world's richest man , Michael was found dead in his house..."
A translucent apparition :"where am i?"
This apparition had just woken up , "it" felt confused about "its" situation. On seeing the apparition you couldn't tell if "it" was supposed to be a man or woman but "it's" voice sounded like voice of a man.
"It" couldn't even remember who or what "it" was or what "it" was supposed to be doing right now, "it" tried to look around "it" to understand the situation "it" was in right now, but all "it" could see was light an extremely bright light that should have blinded "it" but didn't and all "it" could hear were disorienting voices so loud that they should have made "it" deaf but didn't.
When "it" was about to give up any hope of figuring out what exactly was going on "it" heard something or more precisely "it" made out a word amongst the disorienting noises or atleast "it" thought "it" did. "It" couldn't understand what the word was exactly so "it" tried to hear the voices once again.
This time "it" was able to understand what was the word "it" heard ,it was a name ,the name Michael. As soon as "it" understood the word BOOM! A sudden influx of memories came into his mind, like the water that comes crashing down when the dam holding it breaks.
"It" remembered who "it" was, "it" no he remembered his name ,his name was Michael.
Michael:"What's going on here! Where am i! The last thing i remember....."
Michael remembered the most unexpected thing that he could imagine and that was the fact that he had been poisoned by his own wife..
SOME TIME IN THE PAST.
Inside a big villa.On the dining table , Michael and his wife were having dinner when all of a sudden .
Michael's wife:"So you have decided to donate more than half of your net worth, including 60 percent shares of your company for orphan well fare."
Michael was taken aback, and the glass of water that he was about to take a sip from almost slipped from his hand, because he had not told anyone about this ,other than the people that were handling the paperwork.
Michael:"Yes its true but who told..."
Michael's wife:"Who told me about this? Well finding out about this was actually quite easy, after all i am the wife of their boss."
She said while moving her spoon around in circles on the plate, it seemed like she was playing with her food, Michael started having a ominous feeling that something bad was about to happen.
Michael:"Well what about it...".
Michael was going to say something, when he started feeling dizzy all of a sudden. His eyes went to the food on his plate and that's when it hit him.
Michael:"Y...you! Put poison in my food!"
Said Michael with wide blood shot eyes, trying hard to stay awake,while looking at the beautiful women sitting in front of him finally eating her food instead of playing with it. She was smiling this was the same smile that he had fallen in love with once , but now he could feel nothing but dread and suddenly.
Michael's wife:"Hah!(she sighed) Yes dear yes i poisoned you."
She said with no strong emotion on her face.THUD! Michael fell from the chair, he tried to stand up but his bodies own weight had become too much for him. He tried to stay awake, but he knew it was only a matter of time before his eyes closed never to open again. He knew that his death was know a foregone conclusion.
Michael:"W...Why did you..."
Asked Michael while trying extremely hard to speak, he was genuinely confused about her reasoning for doing something like this .
Michael's wife:"Why? Oh come on do have any idea what so ever how hard it was to become your wife and keep that position far such a long time. I mean who has such a extreme case of trust issues..."
Michael couldn't make out the rest of whatever, she was speaking because he lost consciousness, and everything around him became dark. Michael was dead.
THE PRESENT TIME
Michael was shocked, he just couldn't believe what has happened.
Michael:"How the fuck that bitch can be so dumb! I mean what is she going to about the investigation. "
One would think, couldn't she just bribe the investigating team, after all she is going to inherit the wealth of the richest man in the history of the world. But she couldn't because she was going to get nothing .According to Michael's original will ,after his death every thing that he owned was going to be used for orphan well fare and nothing else.
They had even signed a prenuptial agreement, agreeing to this very fact. While Michael was thinking, he suddenly felt a suction force, sucking him somewhere, he tried to resist but the only thing he could do was scream.
Michael:"AAAAA!"
And with that the apparition that had been standing ,infront of the running televisions inside the electronics shop disappeared in thin air like it was never there in the first place, but nobody noticed because they couldn't see "it" or him in the first place. Only thing remaining there were the TVs and the news running on them.
"BREAKING NEWS! The famous billionaire and the world's richest man Michael's wife was arrested for his murder..."
SOMEWHERE IN THE VAST VOID.
Michael felt disoriented, after calming down and steading himself he started looking around, but all could see was nothing, all around him was dark space and no light . As Michael was beginning to lose his mind , the scenery around him changed to an out of the world garden,that was so beautiful that it seemed as if it was heaven.
Michael:"Am i in heaven!"
Said Michael mesmerized by the beauty. That's when he heard a voice "Well you can say that." Shocked Michael turned around and saw a being that seemed like it was made of like, it's voice couldn't be said if it was of a male or female, it's presence seemed like it was divine .
Michael:"Are you a God?"
The being :"Yes."
Michael on hearing this just couldn't keep it in anymore and said"Why! Why does this always happen to me? When i was a child my parents left me, my whole life i worked, i helped other's whenever i could all i wished was to have someone anyone that i could trust, but whenever i put my trust in someone they always betrayed me.
Even that women I couldn't trust her at first at all, but finally the moment I decided to take the leap and trust her she killed me .I was going to give 20 percent of my wealth to her ."
The being:"Well the reason for killing you is actually pretty simple, this whole time to win your trust she acted 24/7 which put enormous pressure on her mind, she held on with the belief you will eventually atleast give her 40 percent of your wealth , but when she found out about your plans she snapped and lost her mind".
.Michael:"....."
Michael:"So the reason for my death is trying unfortunate people like. You got to be kidding me...."
The being:"I know it is not fair, frankly speaking your whole life has been unfair ,you should not have been able to live as long as you did or gain any amount of success with the rotten luck you had, but you succeeded when frankly speaking the whole world was against you and still didn't lose the kindness of your heart.
That's why we gods have decided to grant any one wish for your next life as a reward."
Michael:"You mean anything to have in my reincarnation. "
The god:"Yes precisely, you can ask for anyone thing like your memories, some kind special powerd, the world you want to be reincarnated in , etc . Anything "
Michael after thinking for sometime said:"I want the power to tell what other's feel towards me so i can know who to trust and who to not."
The god:"Okay let me make it clear you only get this one ability that you wished for other than you will a completely normal baby of that world and of the species you will be born in.Are you really happy with your wish."
Michael:"Yes I am happy with my wish."
The god:"Think ca.....Oh shit ! Your body has been born without your soul ,go quickly your wish is granted."
And with that Michael disappeared.
The god:"Well for his own safety i will tweak his ability slightly, good luck Michael you will need it.Now i also have to look after other souls . Ah! So much work."
And with that everything disappeared from there leaving nothing but an empty void.
