Synopsis

Chapter 1 - Proffer

Man...My life can't get more shittier.

I thought to myself, As I realised I've been on my PSP for 5 hours now. I Threw it softly beside me as I laid down on the bed, staring at the fan.

Nothing feels important to me anymore. I don't want to study. Neither do I want to Go out. I can't even talk normally to people. I feel like I'm...A Disappointment to mom and dad. Heck, I can't even look them in the eye. The only good thing I have going on for me is my friend, Sarah.

I met her a few months ago but I feel like we've known each other for years. She's the only one who can lift my mood. But she can't be around 24/7.

If only, I could do something to make my life better...

'Ha! Even God must be laughing at me.' I thought to myself as I looked outside the window of my room.

~THUD~

I heard a noise from the opposite side of them room. But I'm alone in the house...

I suddenly rolled over to look at the source of the noise.

And there was a man. Dressed in Formal White. Just standing there with his hands behind his back.

"Hey, w-who are you?!" I shouted as I got up quickly,

And I was met with silence.

I hurriedly grabbed the empty coffee mug from the side of the bed.

The figure took a couple steps, coming out

of the shadows. A Middle-aged Man, With an Expressionless face.

Something about him was Uncanny.

I was shaken a little, because...

His face..was Almost recognisable. Like I've known him for years but still can't figure out who he was.

"I Am God."

He said.

I released a sigh I didn't know I was holding, and said, "So....Where are the came-?"

"There Are NO Cameras.", he said in an authoritative tone.

"Listen, man. You're already crazy enough to claim yourself as 'God'. Moreover, You're expecting me to believe it." I said.

He gave no reply.

The thing that erked me the most was, I was Calm in this situation. I mean...There's an unknown crazy man inside my house who claims himself as God. But...I still don't Feel any danger. It's like...He isn't there at all.

"I don't have any time for you-" I swallowed my words back as I looked down on the floor.

The Man had no shadow.

My eyes widened as I looked him in the face and realised, He hasn't blinked even once.

Could he really be God?

Am I dreaming?

I didn't do any drugs, did I?

It has to be a dream, right?

Who is he?

Why did he come here?

Thoughts started flooding my mind.

"Do You Want To Become God, For A Day?"

He said calmly.

"Huh? Me??" I asked. He nodded his head.

"Switching Places." he said.

After an awkward minute, I broke the silence.

"H- How do I know you're God..?" I stuttered while asking.

The man simply stood there. And then snapped his fingers. There was a sudden shift in my environment. The sound of traffic outside stopped. I couldn't feel the cooling of the A.C anymore. So much silence that I could hear my heart pumping blood in my body. Noise of every breath I took became significant. The sudden shift made me light-headed.

I looked out the window. Even the birds were frozen. Then I looked at the man who claimed to be God, standing calmly.

I fell to my knees, overwhelmed by the feeling.

"MAKE IT STOP!" I shouted.

He snapped his fingers again and everything returned to normal. I regained composure as my breathing became normal.

I was Convinced that this man is indeed, God.

"Is That Enough To Convince You?", he said.

I looked up to him and said, "Y-Yes...but..What do you want? What is the meaning of all th-?"

"I Asked You A Question, I Expect You To Answer."

'Do I want to become God for a day?' was the question he asked.

"B- But why me? Am I someone special?"

"I Just Chose You Randomly." He said in an emotionless voice.

I guess I watch too much anime.

But the big question is...Do I want it?

I mean... Become God for a Day is something I've dreamt of since I was little. And God himself is here before my eyes. But.. Something feels wrong.

I looked at the man's Unbothered face.

I guess it's because I've fantasized it for so long that I can't believe that it's actually happening.

"...Yes, I would like to become God." I said Hesitatingly.

The Man Extended his hand towards me. I got up slowly, looking at him in the eyes. And held his hand. I felt a sudden sensation and started blacking out.

I remember looking at his face catching a hint of a smile set upon his lips...

Now here I am, sitting on this throne with angels singing choirs around me.

But I have to say, I was surprised when God offered me switching places with him for a day. Yet, I still agreed.

I still don't understand, though why the first thing he did as a Man, was Killing Himself.
