Dying Changes Everything Novels & Stories

I stood there for hours, praying to die. Until my neighbor, Mr. Collins, came in the morning to look for Jack. I don't remember exactly what happened. I remember waking up the next day in the hospital. I hated the fact that I was still alive and Jack didn't. I wanted to die more than anything. They had killed my whole life. One shot changed everything. One night changed my life completely. It took more than 6 months before I was able to shake off the incident. I had nightmares every night.

maybe. I opened my eyes and inched even closer to him, I didn't understand the other voices around me, I didn't know whose hands were those trying to hold me, soothe me maybe. I didn't know, I didn't want to know. Everyone else faded as I stared at the man in front of me, the one responsible for the huge, gaping crack in my foundation. Yet that didn't matter because he is also the one I loved so much, the one I love so much; the one I couldn't hate no matter what because he is also the one ready to die just for me.

And it had cost him his life. Pain ripped through me, violent and merciless—like claws tearing through my chest from the inside out. My muscles tensed, contracting as if my body itself were sobbing. My soul felt—split. Broken clean in half. For a moment, I was sure my heart would just… stop. Refuse to exist in a world where he didn’t. But it didn’t. And that was worse. The longer I lay there, the quieter I became. The sobbing faded. The despair didn’t. It changed. Hardened. Curdled into something colder. Darker. Hatred. Not for them. For me. Everything that mattered had died on that concrete floor with him. What was left of me felt hollow. Empty. Breathing only because my body didn’t know ho

> “Darius—” He exhaled, frustrated, angry at the world. > “You’re crying because of him,” he said. “Don’t pretend otherwise.” The tears started again, silent and stubborn. > “It won’t matter,” I whispered. “Nothing changes. Nothing ever changes.” Darius leaned against the wall, running a hand through his hair. > “That’s not true,” he said, voice harsher than before. “Things change when people stop being afraid.” I looked at him then.

Who watched the world take everything from me and still stayed. “I know,” I say softly. That’s what makes it unbearable. Another horn. Closer this time. The ground trembles. Not from marching feet—but from magic being pulled too hard, too fast, from too many graves at once. I straighten. Every instinct I have—old, new, reborn—locks into place. This is it. The moment before banners rise. Before blood soaks the soil deep enough to change it forever. Before names stop mattering and only survival does.

Her breathing grew sharp, eyes darting. "What happened to me? Why…why do I feel like I died?" Darius stayed kneeling by the bed, his hand hovering just above hers, not daring to touch unless she reached first. His heart thudded painfully in his chest. “You didn’t die,” he said quietly. “But you went deep. Too deep.” Her brows furrowed in pain. “It was like I was falling and burning… and remembering… and then nothing.” She placed a hand against her forehead, her fingers trembling. Her breath caught in her throat, and her eyes squeezed shut as if trying to hold something back, something powerful, something terrifying.

After I switched bodies with my driver, I ended up trapped in the body of an overweight, unattractive man everyone looked down on. My sister Joanne Harper and my fiancée, Serena Lane, did everything they could to find a way to switch us back. Joanne hired an exorcist and even gave her own blood for the ritual. Serena climbed three thousand icy steps to a remote mountaintop chapel in the middle of a blizzard, dropping to her knees in prayer every few steps. But Julian Brown, now living in my body, looked at them pitifully. “My romance system says we can only switch back if both of you truly fall in love with me.” From that day on, Joanne appeared to indulge his every whim, buying him sp

She's going to a place where she'll be happier and not treated cruelly. Her blood pooled around her figure, soaking the yellow dress she had worn. A bitter smile on her face. She wanted to be selfish this once, her parents would grief, Pamala knew how painful it'll be for them and her best friend but they wouldn't understand. Dying was better than living like this. It was suddenly too bright, her head was light, she wanted to sleep and never wake up, so she closed her eyes, but as she did, she heard distant familiar voices, speaking in hushed tones. That was all she heard, followed by the sound of things falling and a loud cry.

Okay… so… dying hurts. A lot. Would not recommend. Two stars, maybe three if you like drama. One minute, I was in my tiny apartment, living my glamorous life (read: eating instant noodles, wearing fuzzy socks with holes, and binge-reading my favorite fantasy romance), and the next… everything went dark. Not the normal “I closed my eyes for a nap” dark. I’m talking cold, endless, suffocating nothing. Like the universe itself pulled a blanket over me and whispered, “Shh. Time to be done.”

The air was thick with a foul odor. A plaster cast of me stood in the middle of the living room; the face looked anguished and painful;the features were disturbingly lifelike. The cast stood next to a trophy. As I took in the scene, it finally dawned on me that I was dead. I had died from the moment they sealed me into the plaster.
