Imagine waking up one day and realizing life’s giving you a second run, a chance to redo it all. Crazy, right? Sebastian Falk didn’t just imagine it. He’d already lived a whole life, one that wasn’t anything to write home about. He had worked, struggled, and ultimately died of a heart attack at 49, leaving behind a life filled with missed opportunities and lingering regrets. But fate wasn’t done with him yet. When he opened his eyes again, he wasn’t in a hospital or the afterlife—he was in a whole new body, decades in the past, trapped in the form of a one-year-old child. And this time, he had something special. He wasn’t about to let this shot slip through his fingers. Screw the doubts that held him back before, the hesitation that kept him up at night, the endless spiral of “what if I’d done things differently?” Nope, not this time. He decided right then and there: he was going after his dream of being a pro footballer. No half-measures this time—just pure, stubborn hustle, a fire that wouldn’t quit, and whatever weird edge he’d been handed in this new life. Who knows? He might just end up one of the best to ever step on the pitch.

Her fingers itched to tear it apart, to make this nightmare disappear. But deep down, she knew that wouldn’t change anything. “I don’t remember,” she whispered, more to herself than to him. “I don’t remember any of it.” Blake nodded as if he had expected this reaction. “That is expected. You had a lot to drink last night.” he fished out a phone from the back pocket of his trousers, opened it. “Here, this is us celebrating, after we got married last night,” he said, showing her a picture. Delilah’s breath caught in her throat as she stared at the photo. It was indeed her. “How?” she whispered, her voice barely audible. “I don’t remember any of this.” “It was a wild night,” he said softly. Perhaps she had married Blake because he was wealthy. That would be the only logical reason for her to make such a blunder. There was hope, she thought, as she clung to the possibility of salvaging something from this disaster. Turning to him, she forced a smile, “Is this your house? Are we in your house?” She asked, looking around the bedroom. Blake shook his head, “No. This is a hotel,” he said, and she nodded. “I see. It looks like quite an expensive hotel,” she observed, “What do you do for a living?” she asked, trying to keep her voice steady as she searched his eyes for any hint of affluence. Blake hesitated, his confident demeanor faltering for the first time. He looked away, rubbing the back of his neck. “I’m... in between jobs,” he stuttered, avoiding her gaze. Delilah’s heart sank, disappointment crashing over her like a wave. “In between jobs?” she echoed, her voice tinged with disbelief. Blake seemed to sense her dismay. “I know it doesn’t sound great,” he said quickly, trying to reassure her. “But I’m working on a few things. I just need a little more time.” “You’re jobless,” she muttered to herself as reality sunk in. “How did you pay for this room? For the wedding bands?” She asked, and he winced. “I didn’t. You did,” he said, and she collapsed on the bed. (PS: Cover photo isn’t mine. Credit to the real owner)
