I'm currently walking along a long and barren road approaching a small forest. Of course, no one would recognize where I am.
Of course not
I'm obviously somewhere where even I wouldn't recognize, thrown into a place against my own will. I guess I can blame my own hubris for this one.
“HEY I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE FUCKING FUN, don't be a condescending asshole.”
I said to myself. Since no one was around to hear my complaints, I have no reason to feel embarrassed about my nonsensical, idiotic outbursts to no one in particular. Since no one would hear.
I swear, this guy, this fucking guy- or thing? Hey what are you?
I thought to no one in particular. Of course I might want to explain whats going on, but that thought would never

I died, I think? Maybe. Fuck if I know, or care.
Huh pretty morbid thought. I guess I really didn't care about where I'd end up
I thought as I was floating in nothingness. A clear slate of nothing. A “void” of white, devoid of life and color.
So this is death? Purgatory? The fuck?
I know I didn't necessarily believe in heaven, hell, or an afterlife, but I thought to myself
This better not be where I spend my life, or afterlife, or eternity.
“No, mortal, this is not your afterlife, nor your end.”
A deep, male voice rings out from the nothingness.
Huh? Who?
“I am here to guide you, mortal”
I fucking knew it! I died! I don't know how I did, but-
My thoughts were halted abruptly by a burly, two meter tall, HAIRLESS, naked man. I refused all thought processes in response to prevent the image of this imprinting in my mind.
Do I even have a mind anymore? Wouldn't this be classified as 'consciousness'? Why was hairless emphasized?
“Yes mortal. How perceptive of you to realize. Your consciousness is here so you retain your memories and sense of self. You have left your mortal body. Your 'soul' was ripped from

That voice is our Fate or in your case, your inner dialogue”
Wait, isn't it speaking for us both? I mean, it's more on my wavelength and thought process, but it feels like its more important than just myself.
I said to the naked god, understanding the importance of the inner dialogue.
So like a narrator?
“*Sigh* yes, mortal, a narrator. His thoughts. Without him you wouldn't exist. More so, I wouldn't exist.. He chose you as a manifestation. You will carry on as his thoughts. Who you are and who you will be is his influence. He chose to be the inner dialogue. To guide you for his amusement. He will forever be a tumor in your mind.”
The ignorant 'God' relayed to myself in a less-than-optimal yet irrefutable term.
Oi, did he just accept his reality?
“Yeah, he's kind of a bastard”
Haha yeah
This guy is in charge of my fate?
“Yeah, and mine as well. Even I can't resist his influence. My personality is skewed and my habits are, in some ways, immoral. HOWEVER, I will say that he will not completely bastardize the dimension you will be in as it stands. He may be fate, he may be creation, but his influence is limited. Imagine a backseat driver, with your life as the
“I kept asking myself if I felt different, if I was different. The answer was always yes. I was no longer nothing…” (Avi 221) This is a famous quote from the historical fiction book Crispin The Cross of Lead, written by Avi. This book is about a boy named Crispin, who goes through many trials and meets many people who help him find his true identity. Through the story Crispin has three “fathers” in his life, Lord Furnival, Bear, and God the Father and he learns several important things from them.

... peculiar power also resides in his tendency to continue forcing choices to the very end. At the moment of his death, both he and his creators would finally be unable elide the tensions. Spirit or flesh, one or the other must ultimately prevail.
Are you little disturb yet? If hearing that the narrator is Death himself wasn't bad enough, he also
Christians ultimately believe in two places to go after death, Heaven where eternity is spent in a state that is beautiful beyond our ability to conceive, or Hell, where eternity is spent with Satan and his demons. All are tormented and tortured, in isolation from God, without any hope of mercy or relief (Robinson).

“Our spirit is not dependent on the brain or body. It is eternal, and no one has one sentence worth of hard evidence that it isn’t.” In this quote Dr. Eben Alexander briefly describes the logistics of the theory of the afterlife; no real evidence against it exists while countless forms of support circulate. Not only has Dr. Alexander provided evidence, but many others with near death experiences have shared their testimonies in support of the afterlife. Current scientific explanations have also shown dramatic support for the afterlife, along with the history of the afterlife.
(2) Raskolnikov also conducts an endless dialogue with himself (frequently addressing himself in the second person); the voice of his shrewd intellect alternates with the voice of conscience, and a lucid understanding of his situation coexists with unaccountable (even contradictory) emotional reactions.
That monster sliced me into bits and then used me for whatever he needed me for. And now I am here. Hopefully on my way to Feng-Tu by now, on my way to heaven.
The light, so brilliant and beautiful, everywhere always everywhere, filling every corner and creves. Shining around me, through me, from me. I feel delishesly warm, the heat spreading though out my entire body. All my nerves and senses completely aware of all life, even the smallest miniscule particles. Then the voices, they are always next, as much as I relish hearing them, I also dread it because I know what is coming after. “You are complete” they whisper in a warm, kind tone, one that puts me right at ease. “You must do it, for all life to continue” the voices getting louder, clearer with each word spoken. By this time I can normally define certain voices from the rest. They starts out sounding as one, as if a million voices all speaking in unison, but as the conversation goes on I can start to tell them apart, today I’m looking for one in pictular. I never why I’m looking for the one voice slightly different or even who they are, I just know that I’m looking for them. A feeling that if I find them everything will be explained. But I never do, oh sometime I feel like I’m close, ...
