Epilogue
In every story, I read there are two endings. It's either happy or sad. Half of my life was revolving around thinking how a fairy tales book, novel, short story or parable would end. But this time I was thinking about how would my story end. Is it true there is a happy ending? Is it true that everything has an ending? Or is dead the end of everyone? Because while thinking deeply my story started when I died. So if death is the ending of everyone, it seems very impossible. Yet in life, I know everyone has a role to play before they passed away and that thing God has shown me that many times in different ways.
"Class dismissed!" I quickly stood up when I heard that word from our last professor today. I quickly put my things in the bag before standing up to leave. But Stephen suddenly approached me.
"Hey!" he greeted me still hesitant. Yet to get rid of his hesitation I smiled back at him.
Death ContractThey say that reincarnation may be true because no one in the world can tell what there is in the afterlife. Nor can anyone prove that fictional things are not true. So I, I believe that in this world we have things we don't know but it's better that we just don't know."I'll borrow this book," I uttered while reaching the book to the Librarian. The book is entitled Death Contract. When I read its description earlier the book already caught my attention. So I took it."You're just reading novels again, how old are you? What course are you in? You should be studying!" I couldn't help but wince when the librarian reprimanded me. Yet I laughed and scratched my head before I answered."Ma'am Rita, my course is journalism. Let me go, my brain is sharpened when I read." I explain. Something that made the librarian shook her head and laughed at later."You're not gettin
Saint Archangel In this world, there are many things you cannot explain. Things that only believers can know and understand. Things that a person who lives only in this world to die cannot comprehend. Human life is short, that is the biggest difference between them and other creatures that quietly and secretly live with them. Creatures with a single duty, that is to keep the balance of the world. World shrouded in so much mystery. Mysteries only a few know and will remain to know. While walking down the hallway of the school now called Adelaide Academy that when I last visited was a forest. A forest that creatures like me call a paradise. That place is sacred and unholy souls are not admitted. A paradise where I remember my siblings and I playing and happily visiting the world with Dad. But many things have happened, as fast as the weather in this world is changing. I was punished for a sin I don't remember. Fallen angels like me and pun

Chapter 1As I scanned the fairy tale section while slowly touching every book on it, I suddenly stopped when my hand reached the book entitled, She Who Can See Monster. I deeply sighed before I decided to pull it out of the shelves.Ever since I was a child, I always enjoyed reading children's stories. Because for me, they were more than just a story for the kids. Beneath those fantasies was a hidden meaning that the writer wanted to give to every child so when they grow up, they would know how to deal with reality even without fantasies.I sighed again before approaching the librarian to borrow the book."And it's you again? You always read books like that. How old are you
Chapter 2I woke up with a loud knock from our door. I couldn't help but get irritated. However, I still tried to stand up just to make sure what time it was and when I saw that it's 1 in the morning. My forehead immediately frowned.Who it was? Is this Dad?I sighed before I decided to go to the living room. Thinking that maybe it was my father, I opened the door. But I was shocked to see it was not Dad who knocked but Uncle Henry.He's one of my Dad close friends. He was anxious and seemed to run from somewhere up to here. Uncle Henry was panting and it made me wonder why.
Chapter 3"Oh my god!""Mom, she's awake!"I was wakened up by the noise of the strange people who are talking out loud near me and by the sound of a machine. I can vividly hear how loud it was.Slowly, I opened my eyes. At first, the image was blurred. I couldn't say clearly what was happening around me. Not until I began to saw the person in front. It was a man who wear a white lab gown and was named Dr Charles from the tag attached to him. He was saying something I couldn't hear nor understand. The Doctor stared into my eyes with a flashlight, dazzling but I could not close my eyes.Where am I? What happened? Why does it seem like there were so many people around? There seems to be something wrong.The last thing I remember was ...Oh, no! What is the last thing I remember?I closed my eyes to think careful
Chapter 4Once upon a time, in a faraway land, there was a zombie who woke up from his hundred years of sleeping. Looking back why he chooses to sleep for that long, he remembers that it is because of the cruelty of the world. I immediately flipped the book to read the next page.A long time ago his wife was killed by humans, for the zombies are monsters. But, they didn't know that it is their cruelty and their fear for something that they did not know is much more monstrous. I moved to the next page, again.With that, the Zombie Man chooses to live a simple life away from other people. Day
Chapter 5“I am Saint and I'm here to hunt you down, but then because I am sure that you can't get off to that body. Death ministry assigns you to be a living reaper, no buts or anything you suicidal. You want your death, right? So then, accept our offer. For you to die peacefully, Mary Sean Ivanovich. Did I answer your question?” With what he said, I gradually loosened my grip on the bedsheet until I finally let go.At that point, I suddenly remembered the children's book I had just read last night. It was entitled, The Fox and the Princess.“W-what are you saying? You're a Grim Reaper, aren't you? If you want to take me, take me now too. Don't prolong it! I don't want to live anymore and why am I here in this body? I'm dead, right? Mary Sean
