The Day Everything Ended

“I can’t continue this relationship anymore, Eliana, I’m tired.” Mike’s voice was flat. No anger, no hesitation, he was just done.For a moment, I thought I didn’t hear him well. “Tired?” I repeated, my voice shaking. Tired of what? Mike, what are you saying?He didn’t look at me. That hurt more than his words. His eyes stayed fixed on the floor like I wasn’t worth facing.“I’m done, Eliana.” Done? Are you done with four years just like that. No, I said quickly, stepping closer to him. No, you don’t mean that. We can fix this.Whatever it is, we’ll fix it. Please—just talk to me. My hands reached for him, but he pulled away like my touch burned. That was when panic set in.Mike, please, I whispered, my voice breaking. Don’t do this, dont end us this way, at least not like this. Not without even telling me why.You haven't even given me reasons why you want to break up with me and you want me to accept this? No, no, Mike i can't accept this please.Tears blurred my vision, but I refus

The Place Between Worlds

She’s in a coma, the doctor said, turning to the stranger. I didn’t know him—the man who had helped me. I had no idea who he was, but he was the one who had brought me here.He looked at me for a moment and shook his head. Then, he and the doctor walked out of the room.Come back! I called after them, standing up from my bed and running to the door before it slammed shut. "I'm not in a coma, i'm awake," I whispered.How can I be in a coma when I’m right here, perfectly fine? I asked, touching my cheeks. Would someone be in a coma and still be breathing like I was?Even when I called to them again, they didn't seem to hear me. Either I was invisible, or they were just that good at ignoring me. They didn’t stop walking until they reached the end of the hallway.Then they turned to face each other. It’s a good thing you brought her here when you did, the doctor said. “She lost a lot of blood and would’ve died if you hadn't rushed her in.” The man, who had a grave expression on his face,

Lost Soul

“Hey, sir!” I hurried after him, refusing to give up. “Just a minute of your time, please!” He kept walking. People passed by us—nurses, patients, visitors—but no one looked at me.Not one person.“Just tell me how I got here, I begged, my voice cracking. I won’t bother you again. I promise.Tears slipped down my cheeks. Please….. But he kept going straight through the sliding doors. I followed him without thinking.The moment I stepped out— A blinding light hit me. I gasped, stumbling back as I threw my hands over my face. What—?The brightness was overwhelming. It burned through my eyes, forcing them shut. I stood there, frozen, my heart racing.Slowly… carefully… the light began to fade. The air changed, it grew colder and quieter.I lowered my hands, opened my eyes, and instantly wished I hadn’t left the hospital.This… this isn’t… my world. My voice trailed off.Everything was different. I couldn't find the man anymore, i turned my back to look for the hospital, but that space wa

The Realm That Decides

The moment the voice finished speaking, the entire bus erupted into applause. I flinched, my eyes darting around the space.“What’s going on?” I asked, my voice sharp with confusion. No one answered, they just kept clapping like something exciting had just happened.“You will be assigned a spirit guide shortly,” the voice continued, calm and steady, completely ignoring me. “But for now… sit.”Before I could react— I was already seated. My breath caught in my throat.I couldn’t move.“Now that we have the final addition to this dimension,” the voice went on, “we will begin the journey. I implore all souls to remain seated throughout. If you have questions, discuss them with your guides.”“You cannot die any longer, as you are already on your way to death in the spirit world.” My heart skipped.“…But take note,” the voice continued, “there are consequences if this ride becomes troublesome.”Everyone kept silent, even the breathing around me felt controlled.“This realm is your only chanc

Thrown Into the Game

I sat in the bus quietly, because i felt the world has abandoned me and my family has also abandoned me. “There is no need to hate your family my dear. This is not a prank.”His voice was calm. Too calm.I frowned, my lips pressing together as I turned slightly toward him.How did he—“Your emotions show outwardly, Eliana,” he added. “I suggest you learn to suppress them.”Of course he heard that part. I exhaled slowly, trying to keep my thoughts steady.“I am your spirit guide, Eliana,” he continued, his tone flat. “Though reluctantly.” I blinked. Reluctantly?“That part wasn’t necessary,” I muttered. “It was accurate.”I rolled my eyes. “Great. So I got assigned a guide who doesn’t even like me.”“You were assigned,” he corrected. “Not chosen. “Wow. That makes me feel so much better.”He ignored the sarcasm.“As your guide,” he went on, “I am required to maintain a functional connection with you… until you eventually die.” I froze.My chest tightened slightly, i turned to face him f

The First Test

My stomach twisted painfully. Survival games?The words echoed in my head, heavier now than when I first heard them. Before, it sounded strange, but now… it sounded terrifying.“I’m as scared as you look.” The voice came from beside me—a female.I turned to see whose voice was that.Then I saw a tall, beautiful woman standing there, her expression gentle, her smile warm despite the fear in her eyes. Something about her presence eased the tightness in my chest. At least… I wasn’t alone in this.She stretched out her hand. “Hi, I’m also a new soul,” she said, then quickly added with a small laugh, “Or you can call me Ruth. Please call me Ruth.” I almost smiled.I reached out to shake her hand— But my fingers passed straight through hers, i blinked.“Oh!” she laughed lightly, pulling her hand back. “I forgot. We haven’t learned to control it yet.”My brows drew together. “Control what?”“Our states,” she said, frowning slightly. “Wait… didn’t your spirit guide explain that?”The silence th

The Illusion That Broke Me

I sat there, staring at my paper, my heart slowly calming. If this was just a test… Then I didn’t need to panic.“This is your first challenge, Eliana.” The familiar voice cut through my thoughts.I froze.Then slowly lowered my gaze.He was there.Sitting on my desk like he had always been there.My breath caught in my throat.“Seriously?” I whispered, jerking back so suddenly my chair screeched loudly against the floor.A sharp chorus followed.“Sshhh!”Almost everyone in the room turned to glare at me.“And that’s enough, Ms. Light,” my professor snapped from the front. “One more disruption and you’re out.”I ignored him completely, my eyes locked on the figure sitting casually on my desk.“So you’re saying…” I leaned forward slightly, lowering my voice, “this is the test?”“Of course it is,” a voice hissed beside me.I turned.My best friend shot me an annoyed look.“And you’d better start writing if you plan on graduating this year.”“I will,” I said quickly, just to calm her dow

The Shadows That Follow

You've failed your test Eliana, you will now die a permanent death.“No…” I whispered, the word barely escaping my lips as a cold wave of dread swept through me.It felt like my blood had turned to ice, draining from my body as fear settled deep in my chest.“No.”The realization hit harder than anything else I had faced so far.I didn’t want to die, not now, and not like this.I had never truly understood how much I wanted to live—how tightly I had been holding onto my life—until this very moment, when it was slipping away from me.I was so close.Just two months away from graduation.Two months away from finally stepping into the life I had worked so hard for… the life I had dreamed about for years.I couldn’t lose that, icouldn’t let everything end here. Not after everything.Desperation clawed its way up my throat, choking me as I forced the words out.“Please…” My voice trembled, breaking under the weight of my fear. “Give me a second chance. I promise—I won’t fail again. I’ll do

The Price Of Another Choice

“You have to retake that test.”The voice came without warning.Eliana didn’t flinch this time.She didn’t scream, didn’t jump—didn’t even turn immediately. That alone felt like progress. Or maybe she was just too tired to react anymore.Slowly, she lifted her head.Her spirit guide stood beside her, as calm and unreadable as ever.“You will remain stuck in this realm,” he continued, “until you finish.”Eliana let out a quiet breath, dragging her gaze away from him.“Isn’t that… better?” she asked, her voice low but steady.It's better than dying, better than disappearing and better than whatever waited beyond this place.In her mind, it made sense.But her guide’s silence stretched too long.Then—“Your mortal body will remain in a coma,” he said. “For as long as it takes you to transition.”Her chest tightened slightly.“If you fail…” he added, his tone colder now, “your body will eventually be removed from life support.”Eliana froze.“And when that happens,” he continued, “you wil

Begging for Life

Cautiously, I stepped into the office.The air inside felt heavier than it should have been, like something unseen was pressing down on my chest. My fingers twitched at my sides as I forced myself to move forward.Ms. Light sat behind her desk, still waiting.Her eyes were fixed on the door—on me—as though she had been expecting my arrival.“I’ve been waiting for you, Ms Light.”The words settled into the room slowly, confirming what I already felt.This wasn’t normal, nothing here was.A chill crept up my spine, but I swallowed it down and glanced over my shoulder.My spirit guide stood just outside the door watching.His arms were folded, his posture relaxed, but his gaze was anything but. There was something in his eyes—sharp, expectant… demanding.Beg. He didn’t say it out loud this time, he didn’t need to. I could feel it.My throat tightened.Slowly, I turned back to Ms. Light.“I… want a second chance,” I said, my voice quieter than I intended. “I want to retake the test.”She
