In Another Life Novels & Stories

Bethany lowered her head and cried for a long time. I sent her the studio's address and contact information, then stood. "Work hard. Stop thinking about things you shouldn't. Life is long. Don't waste your time on someone else's man." I turned and left. Outside the cafe, the sunlight was bright. The comments exploded. [The villainess repaid resentment with kindness???] [I'm crying. She helped Bethany.] ["You don't even count as a supporting character in my life" is so fierce.]

Test the year after. Two years would be enough. I closed the computer and lay on the bed. Outside the window, insects chirped. It was very quiet. I closed my eyes and thought of the last night before my rebirth. The lights in the detention center were harsh and white. I pulled the shoelace from my shoe and tied it to the door handle. Then I looped it around my neck and dropped. At that instant, I thought-- If there's another life, I'll never be a good person again.

there are two of me to think about now. I must be careful with my choices and think about this little being before myself. Even before Theo and Khai too. I let my eyes flicker open, and they instantly meet his, and for a brief moment, whilst he kisses me, we stare into one another eyes. The weirdest thought comes to the forefront of my mind before I can squash it. In another life... what could have been. I don't know where it comes from or why because I hate Damian for everything he's put me and the others through.

Matilda Sutton, my wife, and I are on our tenth wedding anniversary trip when the plane suddenly crashes. I hand her the last remaining parachute, only for her to scoff and ask, "What are you up to this time, Tyler?" I feel a sudden ache in my chest, knowing that Matilda has never loved me in our ten years of marriage. She has also seen me play the hero enough times that it doesn't even register anymore. But this time, it's a genuine matter of life and death. I push her out of the door right as flames engulf the cabin. "If there's a next life, I'll leave you alone, Matilda." Consciousness returns. I find that I've returned to the exact moment I'm about to propose to Matilda. I try to st

"Okay, and??" "And you owe me your lives." "But I don't even know why!" Kara kicked a heap of dust in front of her. She was so angry. This was supposed to be the life she's never lived, the life she's always wanted, now unbridled at her fingertips...but then something weirder comes along, and now she's stuck with the school loser in another dimension. "If you really want to know," Mary said exasperatedly, "You're an anomaly, just like the rest of us. You weren't supposed to live again, and yet, here you are."

I blurted out, revealing something I shouldn't have told. Lilith's brows furrowed, and her eyes narrowed to seek more truth. "What do you mean by before?" A sigh escaped my lips, knowing it was time to reveal everything. "There's something I haven't told you. I know you might not believe this, but this life is my second life. The first one, I guess, failed because I died, and then I traveled back in this year." Her mouth opened, eyes rounding as shock plastered on her expression. "You mean you were reborn?"

"Though as entertaining this is, the affairs of the still living are none of my concern. You'll have to speak to my opposite; Life." "So how do I find Life?" I asked, and Death shrugged, twirling his scythe as if it were a baton. "No clue. I deal with matters of death." "...you're of no help, you know that?" "I've upheld my deal, so I think I've helped way more than necessary. I'm just glad I didn't go fishing for your soul. Otherwise, I would've declined." My jaw drops at his comment, and he shrugs, fading away.

The wind blew gently caressing our face with the warmth of the late afternoon breeze, a familiar fragrance enters my nostrils it’s been six years since then I haven't heard anything from her but her billion dollar company remains the same and became even more powerful Lu took over it that's what I know after I flew back home to make my dreams come true. "Don't worry, my gramps told me that when two people did not end up together in this timeline, another life will be granted for them," She gave me her toothy grin. "Maybe in some other lifetimes, you will meet her again," I hope so darling, I will be waiting for her, again. **********

I shared the photos from all the countries I'd visited over the years with my mother, hoping that in some way, in that other world, she could feel the joy we shared. Douglas and I settled in Crannellie. Six months later, my beloved daughter was born. Around the same time, I received a message from a friend. After Ross recovered, he sold his company and disappeared to Effucca. No one knew where he had gone. Laurel was sentenced to prison, and it seemed she would spend the rest of her life behind bars. The day Laurel was incarcerated, my phone buzzed with a message. It was a picture of the vast Effucca plains, with wild buffaloes galloping across the grasslands.

In fact, it has been our lifestyle for quite a time. Everyone has their own little world, and people enter and exit that world like a grocery store. Throughout our lives, we've been handpicking people that will live in our atmosphere. And anything outside of it is a threat. It's like an expansionist intelligent alien race trying to obliterate your planet because why the hell not. Alright, that should be enough inner crisis to queerly entertain myself. Let's continue my solemn life. I stood up from my seat and said, "I have work to do... I'll head somewhere."
