Instant Death Novels & Stories

The golden beam crossed the universe in an instant. There was no time to dodge. There was no time to think, no time to breathe, no time for the electrical signals in a human nervous system to register that the end had arrived. One moment, the First Hunger was staring down at Luca with cosmic finality. The next—death was racing toward him. Across New York, Luca looked up.

Pain hit instantly, immediately the poison started reacting, it was sharp, burning through all her flesh. Her body trembled, with her hands shook. Suddenly her breathing became uneven. Her lips parted slightly. “Damian…” she whispered. A si ngle tear fell down her cheek. Then She died instantly, the poison was too strong for her to hold for long. Luna Prese stood up. “It’s done,” she said.

“But I'm grateful. Elena was an important part of my life, and I will always respect the memories we shared.” Vivian's expression slowly softened. She understood what he was doing. One of the guests who knew me looked at Vivian. “I remember when Elena use to come for shopping. What actually happened to her?” The room became quiet again. Adrian's hand tightened slightly around Vivian's shoulder. “She died,” he answered. The words struck me harder than I expected. Not because I didn't know he believed I was dead. But because he said it so easily. “She died in an accident,” he continued. “It was a painful period for me. I eventually had to move forward.”

Just then, amidst the laughter and camaraderie, my name was suddenly yelled from behind, "MIRA!" I turned to see who it was, and in an instant, the world around me exploded into chaos. BANG* BANG* BANG, the sudden sounds echoed, and the next moment, everything went dark. I found myself on the floor, blood everywhere, a lifeless body on top of me. For a second, I lost consciousness, the world slipping away into a terrifying void. Am I dead? The question lingered within my consciousness.

He took a deep breath and said, “Did you notice the car that just passed by? When our two cars passed by, I was hit by something and it hit my temple. I almost died, do you understand?” “F*ck! It must be the Death Inquisitor!” “F*ck. It’s too scary. Fortunately, we avoided death this time!” “Yeah, the Death Inquisitor probably didn’t expect it. We won’t die so easily. As long as we can hold on for 24 hours, we’ll win!” Zellman took a few puffs of smoke. His heart was still beating wildly, and cold sweat soaked his back. He was still afraid of what had happened just now.

Crystal countered back. I pursed my lips and shrugged. "I think the worst way to die is when you do not know about it. Like dying in one's sleep. You know when they're stabbed, butchered, jump off a plane, or are involved in an accident, they have that whole my-life-is-flashing-in-front-of-my-eyes moment but when they die of no cause at all, it's worse." They all stared at me like another head had sprouted out of the side of my neck like a blooming rose. "Damn," Crystal said. "That's kind of deep-ish."

Crash! It was too late when he realized what he’d done. The tricks and manipulation that's been implanted to him accompanied him as he tried to remember why he tried to escape his building from the 20th floor. But as the ground rapidly came closer to Alana to welcome him to a new realm of fire he’s never seen before, it only then clicked. For a split second, he was almost sure that Caine’s face was down on the ground like a summer waiting for the cold fall. The moment he flatlined was the moment his entire body met the ground flat. No last expressions in his face, no rigor mortis, just his red and white painted in the streets.

The blood had nearly stopped flowing. The position of his right hand was strange; his fingers curled as if trying to grasp something. I crouched down. In his open left hand, written crookedly in blood, was a single word: "Run". 02:14. One minute left. 02:15 came. Nothing happened. I was still alive. "Substitute death successful. Eric Dawson was killed at 2:14 in Parking Lot C. Remaining loop time: 48 hours. "Go to Parking Lot C. There’s something for you."

"Avelina, I trust you. We'll leave Nina in your hands." I was restrained by two bodyguards, so no matter how hard I struggled, I couldn't move. I could only watch helplessly as Avelina returned to the OR. I remembered that in my past life, less than half an hour later, Avelina came running out in a panic to announce Nina's death. The consent form, which included the organ donation clause, had allowed her to freely harvest all of Nina's organs. And now, she had already re-entered the operating room with the form in hand.

Doctor Wilks paused again looking at straight at Stella and continued “We can’t confirm if it was instant or if it was afterwards” Stella continued to stare at the doctor willing her to just hurry up. Tears began to fall. “Your Husband was pronounced dead at the scene”. Stella closed her eyes as her sobs began to rock her body.
