My name is Andrew, I'm 17 years old, and I don't have parents. I've always been in an orphanage because nobody wanted to adopt me due to my defects, such as weak health and an unattractive appearance. Everyone else had beautiful looks, and I had nothing special except for my black eyes. I had no friends, and I didn't know how to make them.
I always loved reading about interesting topics, like stars in space, which are a hundred times bigger than our sun, and about black holes. I was always curious about what's inside black holes. I wanted to know more, but nobody else seemed to care.
One day, when I was attending a public school, I started coughing up blood. The teacher noticed and came over to me.
Teacher: "Are you okay, buddy?"
Me: "I don't think so."
Then I lost consciousness and woke up in the hospital. I saw a caregiver and a doctor. The doctor said:
Doctor: "Hmm, he's awake."
He looked at me and said:
Doctor: "Do you know what's happening to you?"
Me: "No, I don't."
I replied weakly, and the doctor announced:
Doctor: "You have an incurable disease, and you will soon die in agony. You have a choice; I can make it so you die without pain. What do you want?"
I looked at the caregiver, who was crying, and asked:
Me: "Doctor, is there any way to save me?"
Doctor: "I'm afraid not. So, you better tell me what you want to do."
I looked at the doctor and the caregiver and said:
Me: "I want to die without pain."
The doctor agreed, took a syringe, and injected something into my arm. Soon, I felt drowsiness, and everything faded into emptiness. I remembered everything, saw everything, and realized that if there's another world after death, I would like my parents to be there and some wealth so I never go hungry.
