Levi Jadi Mayat Novels & Stories

October cold made the surface ripple like a warning. People chanted: “JUMP! JUMP! JUMP!” “It’s literally thirty-eight degrees,” I muttered. “He’s going to die.” Jackson folded his arms. “Natural selection.” Levi cannonballed, screaming before he even hit the water, and resurfaced with a sound that could only be described as pure regret. “WHAT THE—MY ORGANS JUST SHUT DOWN—” People cheered like it was the greatest thing they’d ever seen. Someone handed Levi a beer as he crawled out shivering, and he chugged it like it was a medical necessity.

“That is why I am telling you. Do I look like a moron to you? If I can’t tell anyone then my life is doomed. Even though you and I don’t get along much. I know you love me and wouldn’t want me dead.” “Truth is, I don’t mind you dying by my hands. It would be a waste of energy to have someone else do it. I might burn the kingdom down if that happens.” She grinned sheepishly, “You do love me after all.” Levi hissed, “Don’t think like that. I don’t like nor love you. You look like Mother too much, it bothers me. Almost like it is her way of haunting me for being a coward.” “You don’t have to feel bad….”

I yelled at him and tackled him back into his own realm. Levi turned to look at me and he gave me a smile. “My time is done, Jericho. I’ve had a long life, a good life. I only had one regret and now I can be with her again. My suffering is finally over.” “No,” I said and shook my head as Death went to stand next to Levi. “Yes, Jericho. Go be great,” he said and they both disappeared and I was back in my own realm, looking at his body once more.

LEVI’S POV "I know right," I replied as I grabbed both of our school bags, then paid our drinks. “I can’t walk properly, right? What happened, Levi? Did I d-damaged my b-brain already?” he asked as I helped him walked outside the bar. He was struggling from walking so I had to help him. His white uniform was stained already, his hair was greasy, and his actions were slow and clumsy. “Let me see,” I uttered. “Difficulty in walking, blurred vision, red cheeks, impaired memory... yes, I guess.”
