Lying on the hospital bed, I am thinking about whether my decision to not marry was really a good choice because I can feel how lonely I am right now.
This was the thought going through the head of an elder of about 80 years old person with a head full of silver hair and a face full of wrinkles, well he is what else is expected.
Perhaps this was the last thought he had because darkness overcame him and he died.
The end, but was it really the end? Well, let's see.
Suddenly the darkness was lifted and he saw that he was in a white world more like a monotonous world and he was standing instead of lying.
"Hmm, I am sure I was lying on the hospital bed and then everything went dark for some time. Then what is this? I can say with 80% certainty I died, but then it is either heaven or the afterlife. Damn, it seems like my religion said the right thing there is life after death. *Whew* Thankfully I did the right thing of not marrying and helping others maybe I can have the fruits of those actions from here. Let's see!!"
With that in mind, he examined himself like with whatever he can see and he noticed he does not have any arms or legs he thinks he can manifest a pair of arms completely but nothing manifested when he thought about his legs.
"Hmm, maybe I am a wisp-like thing that can manifest an arm when necessary."
He noticed some people around him but he noticed a difference, everyone had a different hue in their wisp form, some had small specks of grey in their hue but others had a good amount of dark hue. Something to be noted is that he only saw 1 person with the former hue complex most have the later hue composition and he also noticed many people are looking at him with some kind of attention and it's weird because no one has a face! But somehow he can still detect that some are paying attention to him.
"Weird extremely weird I think I need to find some management guy and talk about what this is about. And what happening and what's this place, how I am here, and what's the purpose and future? Man so many questions and I am thinking will they answer my questions? Well, let's see. I can see stairs in front of me maybe I am not in heaven and that is the staircase of heaven because I see some wisps climbing that with no legs. Wait how can they climb it like there is no support to support the core wisp body? Man, this is weird well let's try at least."
With that said he thought of going ahead and VOILA! He went ahead with no problem.
"This makes no sense. Wait it makes sense if I have some sort of levitation power or something. Hmm, let's try to fly."
FLY. FLY!!!
"What the?!! Maybe the anti-levitation power has a weak intensity and I can float above the floor for some distance. Man what a waste of my imaginative power."
And with that thought, he went ahead and went ahead to climb the staircase which was a short distance in front of him.
"Hmm, this is awkward. Why are the stairsteps so HIGH!! AH!! How are they climbing? I need to observe other wisps, I mean people I think."
So he waited for other people and there they are. One wisp waited for like 10 seconds then jumped like from nowhere and landed on the first step.
"What? How? How do you jump? Hey!! the person on the first step HEY!!*Moving arms over his head and yelling* What the?"
"Ok let's calm down and think he waited like 10 seconds or so to gain that altitude where he can step on that step. So maybe if I concentrate maybe, maybe I can jump like that as well."
So let's think of flying. No no, let's think I am accumulating energy in my non-existing legs and *RELEASE!!*.
"Wow, I almost reached the height necessary for this step. So the next step thinks of accumulating energy a little bit more and let's think of going forward while thinking."
"And here goes nothing!"
The pure white wisp went high above the height of the first step and while reaching that height he almost has a step on the step. And he stepped on the first step of the staircase.
"Whew almost didn't make it, so now I have to rinse and repeat for god knows how many times. It will be tiring"
With that thought in mind, the pure wisp started climbing but he was not fast if anything he was super slow.
"Slow and steady wins the race. Slow and steady wins the race. Slow and steady ..."
That's what the pure white wisp was thinking while climbing the stairs as time went on. But there was one change to the environment, and that was there was no wisp other than the pure white wisp on the staircase. He was alone in his own world of Mario, hmm sorry, in his own world of wisp and the staircase.
After almost who knows how much time. He realized there were no steps in from of him and he was alone facing a light source that was emitting a calming and soothing white light.
"Wow, this is my prize for completing the staircase? Like in games where it shines when I drop a loot? Hmm I think that might be the case"
With that thought in mind, he went ahead and started to get close to the shining light source.
"Hmm, I don't see anything inside this shining thing. Like ordinarily I see the details of my loot after being this close to the loot drop. Interesting maybe I need to pluck it from there and then I will see the details of my loot."
And so he formed his arms and started groping the light source [yes, groping, you will know why I said groping].
"AH!!!" - no one knows the source of this scream
"AH!!!" - our pure white wisp
