Where did everything go wrong? When was it that these lies started to pile up,and why was it so easy to end it all here? Trying to figure out these things now is pointless it seems,just because you can doesn't mean you should. Maybe in these last moments I just wanted to be heard or seen by someone....anyone...truth be told I was afraid facing the reality so painfully painted before me,that I would run away from it all.
A hours before....
So I turned on the paperwork already,and it's been filed into the computer system sir.
Boss: That's it then I guess.
The man before me is a boss of a famous software company that started up a few years back,it was small at first. Then suddenly it grew and so did the number of employees. I was hired on in order to do some basic programing and keeping track of software updates,while maintaining our own security network so no one could breach the system and try to steal anything. Today seemed different,the boss didn't look to happy? I tried to push the uneasy feeling aside,but it kept squeezing deep in my gut,the feeling just twisted deep inside. Looking back now I guess this is where everything finally hit a boiling point.
Boss: I have to ask you this one time and be truthful okay? You've been secretly stealing this company's information and selling it to our competitors haven't you?
??????:Huh what do you mean sir? I haven't done anything like that? I would never!
Boss: I'm going to have to stop you right there,we have been monitoring your computer activity over the past couple months. Something was off so I had couple of my people look into it,and it seems you have been emailing our conversations and information over to another company. Here take a look.
(The Boss turned his computer screen around to face the man,the evidence was damning for sure. Backlogs of data and emails to a mysterious address,they dated back five months ago.)
Boss: Judging by this I'm sure your aware of the situation?
??????:Wait no! That's impossible,how did you? I didn't do this I swear! I have no idea who could of done it but it wasn't me Sir!?
Boss: Look,no one could access your computer other than you, everything is locked by thumb print. That only means one thing,you were caught and now your lying about it!
??????:No! I swear it wasn't me! (A hurricane of thoughts ravaged his mind in the moment, who could have done this,and why? I can't think like this!)
Things only got worse,not only was I fired but my face was shown all over the news. They already had a press conference set up after I was forced out of the building. Later I returned home,cold sweat dripping from my brows as I walked through the door. No sign of anyone,I felt relieved in that moment mayby my wife hadn't heard yet? I know she would listen to me. Yeah why wouldn't this be a typical cliche,should of known.
The letter on the table my wife had written me...Hey Dear I'll be home a little late,I'm picking up the kid's from Mom's house and I'll be back a little late. I seen the news already and I know we'll make it through this, you're not the type of man to steal from a job you love so much. See you when I get home dear,XOXO.
I guess that's why she wasn't responding to my text messages,she usually does unless she knows I had a bad day. Guess it's my favorite takeout for dinner.
Thing's like that were all to normal,so as the time ticked on and I grew tired and hungry I could only imagine the love of my family when they returned. A knocking at the door was probably a sign her hands were full,or one of the kiddos was asleep and their good old dad here needed to carry them inside. Answering the door with a smile on my face was to show them it's going to be okay.
??????: Welcome.....home? Ummm is everything okay?
Sir I'm sorry to inform you,that your wife and kids were in a bad accident and they didn't make it.
That's what this feeling was,it wasn't about getting framed and fired. The twisting painful jab deep in my gut,this was the feeling I felt,I ignored it and even after I pushed it aside the nagging and whispers were still there.
Officer's: Sir? Sir?
Their words felt hollow and distant to my ears,a loud ringing echoed in my mind. Time was still,my heart forgot to beat and my life had just ended,the weight of my body gave out as I fell to the hard floor base of the door frame. I felt the officer's hands reach out to grab me before I completely collapsed.
After everything that was said about their passing from the officer's,I was left empty in the house. The once bright rooms seemed void of color and now life,rooms that once had laughter,no only whispered silence tears.
??????: I guess this is it? Life is short,and some are shorter. What's left now? Memories to painful to glimpse, pictures that are hard to look at, messages that will never be seen again? This world is a cruel,and crushing.
Present time....
What is this? Why are all these memories coming back to me now? There were no life long memories,no flashes of my long life playing out for me,just a cruel reminder even in death I can't escape the things that I've lost.
Name: ?????? Age:?? Born:????????
Cause of death: Train
Ruled as: Suicide
Female Voice: Oh dear what a cruel fate to endure,maybe this time around you will a happier life. Go now my sweet little soul,grow and be happy.
Hey Arisa! Hey Goddess Ariiiiiissa! You listening to me?
Shut up you idiot! Can't you see I'm trying to keep a air of mystery here!?
Oops...um sorry? But you know that guy you just reincarnated? Well ummm I think you should have a look at this.
(Arisa grabs a tablet like screen and looked over it,as she scrolled through it with her finger she noticed something)
Arisa: What! No! Oh no....this can't be right? I'm really going to get yelled at for this...but maybe no one will notice?
In fact someone did notice,and for the next twenty-four hours the Goddess Arisa was chewed out.
Maybe next time she will look before she reincarnates again,till next time
FIN
Just kidding,next chapter we explore the mysterious world of being reincarnated,will the cliches keep coming? Will our poor hero learn how to navigate this world? Is a sexy harem about to begin for this poor lost soul? Or will the fear of waking up and adventuring be too much? Find out on...Ouch! That hurt why you do that!?
Arisa: Shut up you idiot! If it wasn't for you I would of noticed this sooner! Also what on this celestial plain are you even talking about here and to who? I don't see anybody around? Forget it! You're coming with me idiot!
The poor girl was dragged by the ear and yelled at for at least a good forty-eight hours,minus the two times she completely fell asleep and then smacked awake.
