Starting point is 00:00:01 Get the paddles! I remember falling. It was nice at first. The air rushing past me as the butterflies of my stomach multiplied with each passing second. Clear! And there was a screaming. Not from my mouth, but from the pedestrians below, scrambling to run away from the landing zone.
Starting point is 00:00:21 Some to get help, others to avoid blood splatters at all cost. Clear! It wasn't until the last second, just before hitting the pavement. But the shock wore off, and I realized what had happened. I was on the 12-floor balcony of a hotel in town, enjoying the view, and the rail gave way, crumbling beneath my grip. There was no chance of avoiding the descent. Clear! They say your life flashes before your eyes when you're about to die.
Starting point is 00:00:53 I wouldn't go that far, but I understand the sentiment. In my final moments, there on the operating table, I thought of them. The most important facets of my life. My wife and daughter. His pulse keeps dropping. I would never get to see Leslie grow up, never get the teacher how to drive
Starting point is 00:01:14 or walk her down the aisle had a wedding. And Charlotte? We had our issues. That's why I was staying at the hotel in the first place. But we knew it was a forever deal from the start. Now, that forever was over. Cut short by a building code violation. of all things.
Starting point is 00:01:33 One more, clear! As my vision wavered, I saw something in the corner of the room, not a something, but a someone. A man in turn to the century attire leaning against the wall with a cane at his side. No one paid him any mind.
Starting point is 00:01:53 He simply stood there and smiled. We're losing him. As I took my last breath, the man in the corner said something. In its battered state, my brain couldn't comprehend the message. Looking back, I now know what it was. See you on the other side, Jack. Some say, after kicking the bucket, there isn't anything.
Starting point is 00:02:21 Your brain dies and your soul along with it. With no further capacity for consciousness, your mind cannot carry on past the body's expiration. I can tell you from experience, this is not the case. Between the operating room and the hereafter, there wasn't so much as a second of nothingness, no lapse in thought whatsoever. One minute I was in the hospital, and next I was in the afterlife, as seamless as a pawn progress into his next square.
Starting point is 00:02:54 Hello, Jack. At first, I couldn't see anything. There was an overwhelming brightness, flooding my field of view. It's all right, your eyes will adjust. Give it a moment. After a few seconds, the scene came into focus. I was seated at a table in the centre of a plain, white room, with no windows or doors to speak of. Sitting across from me was a strange man from the hospital.
Starting point is 00:03:22 Where am I? I asked. Why, this is heaven, of course, he said proudly. Heaven? So I'm dead? He let out an apologetic sigh. Yes, you've ridden your train. in as far as you can go. End of the line, Jack.
Starting point is 00:03:45 He offered condolences in the form of a concerned look, complete with an awkward frown. Who are you supposed to be, then, an angel? He smiled. Not just any angel, Jack. I'm your angel, a sign to you since your birth. A sign to me? What does that mean exactly?
Starting point is 00:04:06 Were you watching over me? Protecting me? His boisterous laugh filled the room and echoed off the walls. Watching over you, sure. Protecting you. Quite the contrary. I'm the one who loosened that railing
Starting point is 00:04:21 and sent you spiraling to the ground. My heart sank. What? You killed me? Why? Honestly, Jack, to get it over with. My wife and daughter were now alone out there in the world. With that terrible thought in mind,
Starting point is 00:04:40 I stood up and slammed my fists into the table. What the hell are you talking about? His face turned sour. It wasn't likely that many people talked to him that way. Sit down, now. He raised and lowered his hand in one fluid motion, and I was seated again, against my will. He then stood up and leaned in as far as the table between us would allow. Here's how things work, Jack.
Starting point is 00:05:10 When you die, your angel takes over. They possess your meat. suit and get an equal share of time on earth. If you live for 30 years, the angel rides you for 30 more and experience his life outside of these white walls. The longer we wait, the more time we get. But some of us are impatient. Yours truly, for instance.
Starting point is 00:05:33 I tried to respond, but no words came out. It seemed that power pinning me in place was also keeping me quiet. Life here, it's insufferable. rules and order, the same miserable goings on day in and day out. I can't take another minute of it. That's why I pull the plug early. I can visit Earth whenever I want and even manipulate events to my liking, but it's not the same. With the vessel, I can finally be seen and touched.
Starting point is 00:06:04 I can experience human interaction and all the pleasures they're in. Love, hunger, ambition, things I've never felt before. I need this Jack, more than you know. He backed away and sat down. Whatever hold he had over me was then released, allowing me to speak again. So, this is it. My life's over and you take the wheel. I don't get a say in this at all.
Starting point is 00:06:34 He let out a sigh of disappointment. Actually, you do. Every soul is given two options. He snapped his finger and a pair of documents appeared on the table along with a silver pen. First option, authorize my claim of ownership over your body and join me on earth. You'll have no control over our actions, but we'll at least get to experience life again in some small way. My turn to play, your turn to watch. That didn't sound like an attractive option. What's my other choice? He scoffed. Second option, get thrown in the
Starting point is 00:07:17 fragmenter with all the other lost souls. You will be torn apart, reassembled and torn apart again. It'll take thousands of years before you are completely obliterated and allowed to rest. That wasn't exactly ideal either. If I choose the first option,
Starting point is 00:07:36 what happens after your time is up? I come back to heaven and get assigned a new case and you're thrown in the fragmenter anyway. It's a buffer really. A period of a time is up. time in which you can brace yourself for the inevitable. I couldn't believe it. Heaven.
Starting point is 00:07:55 It was supposed to be your final resting place. Somewhere you could exist in peace after death. At least, that's how it was always depicted in books and movies. In truth, it was a nightmare. I'm dreaming right. In a coma in the hospital? Dreaming about what comes after. None of this is real.
Starting point is 00:08:15 It can't be. The man chuggled. Oh, it's real, Jack. Here, let me show you. He reached across the table and placed the hand of my forehead. All at once, we were transported to the hospital, standing over my corpse as the doctor's left the room. What is this? What's happening? Calm down, Jack. It's called projected travel.
Starting point is 00:08:41 We're still up there. This is just a glimpse of what's happening down on earth. Charlotte walked in, tears streaming down her face. Charlotte? She can't hear you, Jack. One of the doctors put her hand on the shoulder. I'm so sorry, I can give you a minute, but we really need to clear the room. She ran to my side, now sobbing uncontrollably, and placed the head on me.
Starting point is 00:09:10 Why did you leave, Jack? Why? I reached out to touch her, but my hand went right through. It's all my fault We never should have thought You should have been home with us I wanted so badly to tell Charlotte She wasn't to blame for any of this To hold her and say it would all be okay
Starting point is 00:09:31 But I couldn't And that killed me inside We still need you Jack Come back to us I turned to the man Now crying myself I've seen enough Take us back now
Starting point is 00:09:48 Suit yourself He snapped his feet of fingers and we were back in heaven, seated across from one another at the table. So, what will it be, Jack? Endless torment. Or some more time on earth, and then endless torment. Personally, I'm partial to the latter. I didn't like either option, but it was now abundantly clear which one to choose.
Starting point is 00:10:18 I'll take the fragmenter. It's the only thing that will destroy the sorrow I'm feeling, even if it does take thousands of years. If I'm going there either way, I might as well get it over with. I grabbed the pen and began signing the appropriate contract. The man pulled my hand away. Don't be so impulsive, Jack. We have time. Think it over a bit.
Starting point is 00:10:39 Tell you what, I'll even let you see your family from time to time. We can check in on them if you want. That's even more of a reason to choose a fragmenter. I don't want them ever seeing you in my body. He looked absolutely devastated. I took my hand back and continued signing. No, I can't let you do this, Jack Before I could get to the last signature block
Starting point is 00:11:02 The man ripped the paper out from underneath the pen What are you doing? I made my choice I accept my fate No, I'm not staying here Jack I can't sit through another person's life You're going to let me in whether you like it or not His eyes turned black And his mouth opened up, revealing a set of razor-sharp teeth
Starting point is 00:11:22 Before I could react to the transformation I was pushed up against the wall by an unseen force. He leapt over the table, grabbed me by the neck, and ran his hand down my arm. His now dagger-like nails caressed my skin, just enough to reveal slivers of red beneath the surface. Sign the deal or I'll have fragment you myself, piece by piece. I think you'll find that I can be very creative when it comes to methods of torture. There are far worse face than death, and I can assure you I'm the worst one of all. His breath was toxic, putrid fumes spilling out of his mouth and climbing onto mine, creating
Starting point is 00:12:02 a cancerous taste in my tongue that made me want to vomit. If this was a preview of things to come, there was no doubt in my mind he was telling the truth. Regardless, I stood my ground. No, I choose this over letting you in. You can rot here with me. He growled and tossed me across the room. I felt to the floor like a rag doll.
Starting point is 00:12:25 Plan B, then. A snap of his fingers, and he was gone, replaced with an old film projector that now rested on the table. As I stood up, it powered on, projecting a scene onto the wall ahead. It was Charlotte and Leslie on the drive home from the hospital. Where's Daddy? Charlotte looked at Leslie through the rearview mirror, crying, but trying her best to hold it in. Daddy's not with us anymore, sweetie.
Starting point is 00:12:59 Leslie tilted ahead, confused. Where is he? Charlotte wiped some more of her tears away, though they were quickly replaced with more. He's in a better place now. If only she knew, when would he be home? Charlotte couldn't hold it back anymore.
Starting point is 00:13:21 She was now sobbing. What's wrong, Mommy? She couldn't answer right away, barely able to catch a breath while crying. Leslie, sweetie, Daddy's not with us anymore, okay? I'm so sorry, but he's gone. He's never coming back to us. She continued to sob while Leslie put the pieces together. No, he can't be gone.
Starting point is 00:13:47 No, not daddy. My little girl began crying and my heart shattered into a million pieces. Charlotte reached back and held her hand as tightly as she could. They were in so much pain and I couldn't lift a finger to help them. I turned away. It was too much. Is this your big plan? Emotional torture?
Starting point is 00:14:11 I'm still not saying yes to you. You hear me? It was a brief period of silence followed by a voice from behind. Look again, Jack. I turned back and saw him. Not in the room with me. No. He was in the projection, sitting in the passenger seat next to my wife, waving back at me.
Starting point is 00:14:35 She didn't seem to notice him at all. What the hell are you doing? His lips contorted into a wicked grin. Watch this, Jack. He grabbed his steering wheel and jostled it back and forth. Charlotte did her best to gain control, but the car was swerving all over the place. Oh, stop it! He released the wheel and looked back at me.
Starting point is 00:14:59 agree to my terms or they die. Which will it be? My heart was pounding. Fear nestled in the pit of my stomach. I didn't want to give in, but I no longer had a choice in the matter. Letting him take my flesh for a joyride was a small price to pay for my family's safety. Fine, I'll do it. Good choice, Jack.
Starting point is 00:15:25 Another snap of his fingers and he returned. The projector now gone. He held out the paper and pen to me, undoubtedly anxious to claim his prize. Sign. As I looked over the contract, I noticed the structure of the final signature block. In addition to my and the angel's signature, an overseer was required to sign. Who's the overseer? Is that your boss? I asked, nothing you need to worry about.
Starting point is 00:15:56 No sign. It was probably nothing. but I was curious Well it says here The overseer needs to witness the signing He flinched Every time I uttered that word He will
Starting point is 00:16:11 The moment the pen touches the page He sees what you see Now sign it already An idea came to mind It was a long shot But definitely worth trying Before handing over my body Once and for all
Starting point is 00:16:25 The moment the pen touches the page He nodded but snarled in the process, full to the brim with impatience and disdain. This would be my one and only chance. It was now or never. Sign now, Jack! I put the pen to the dotted line, but didn't shut down my signature. Instead, I scribbled out a message of three words.
Starting point is 00:16:53 Overseer, come help. The man grabbed the page and examined it. You son of her! He reached out to grab me. but his arm was pulled away. There was now another man standing at his table. Overseer, I'm sorry, I... save it. With a wave of his hand, the overseer brought the man to his knees
Starting point is 00:17:15 and raised his mouth altogether. He then fell flat on the floor and writhed in pain. Without any audible indication of discomfort, the sight was somehow even more disturbing. I swallowed the lump in my throat and took a step back, hoping I hadn't just submitted myself. to a similar fate. Okay, Jack, what is it you need?
Starting point is 00:17:39 I took a simple preparatory breath and made my plea. Are there any more options for me? No, fragmenter or vessel. All of his responses were sparse and final. Clearly, not the kind to mince words or beat around the bush. Okay, that brings me to my next question. Having no knowledge of your customs or laws, I was just wondering if this angel's behavior was, for all intents and purposes, sanctioned.
Starting point is 00:18:10 Behavior, he asked. Yes, you see, he killed me and then coerced me into signing over my body by threatening my family's lives. Is that the sort of thing that's allowed here? His brows curled and he turned to the man on the floor. Hardly, with another wave of his hand, he released him. Is what the human say is true? The man remained on the floor, not yet recovered from the pain. With no mouth, he simply shook his head to deny my claims.
Starting point is 00:18:44 Fine. I'll see for myself. The overseer's eyes glowed blue as he reached down and held a hand to the man's head. After a minute or so, the light in his eyes faded and he turned to me. It seems you were telling the truth. His eyes then glowed red And he placed his hand back on the man Who now looked terrified
Starting point is 00:19:10 Squirming in an attempt to flee He was no use In a fraction of a second His body was eviscerated Turned to a pile of ash before my eyes Your turn He walked over to me And I backed into the wall
Starting point is 00:19:28 No, no please He placed his hand over my heart Time to set things right, Jack. This might burn a little. He was right. It was a fiery sensation that soon permeated my whole body. Then, just as I couldn't take any more, a beam of light shot through the floor and enveloped me.
Starting point is 00:19:52 Soon after, I lost consciousness. As far as I could tell, I was done for. I sprung to life on the operating table, my lungs taking in as much air as they could in one moment. breath. Naudly was nearby, cleaning up. The ruddy startled, he nearly fell over onto the floor. Oh my God, you're alive! He ran to the door and called out for help. Soon enough, a slew of doctors entered the room, astonished to see me breathing again. One of them completely awestruck, pointed down on my chest. That mark, he wasn't there before. Everyone in the room was looking at it.
Starting point is 00:20:37 shaped, burned on my chest, right where the overseer touched me. One of the nurses chimed in. Well, I'll be damned. They all scrambled to change my fluids and check my vitals. Other than the burn, there was nothing wrong with me. My injuries had healed with no medical explanation. As such, I was released shortly after, with a remarkably clean bill of health and better shape than I was before the impact.
Starting point is 00:21:06 As far as the doctors were concerned, it was a miracle. I tried calling Charlotte from the hospital's landline a dozen times, but there was no answer. It was my guess that she was too grief-stricken to be bothered by a phone. With no car or anyone else to call for a ride, one of the doctors agreed to bring me home after his shift. I couldn't wait to see my family again. After all, we're said and done.
Starting point is 00:21:35 I arrived home around midnight. Thanks, Doc. I really appreciate this. He smirked. Don't think me. I'm not the one who saved your life. You must have an angel up there looking out for you. I got out of the car and looked back at him before closing the door. God, I sure hope not. The doctor drove off and I ran inside, excited to share the good news and take away all the tears shed in my name.
Starting point is 00:22:04 Charlotte, Leslie, I'm home. After turning the corner into the living room, I saw Charlotte sitting by herself on the sofa. Honey, I'm here. I'm still here. She remained motionless and silent. Honey? Are you okay? Where's Leslie? She turned to me and, with most stoic expression, offered me three words that cut my heart in two. Leslie's dead, Jack. The room started spinning.
Starting point is 00:22:42 anguish overcame me as I fell into the couch next to her. No, it can't be. How? As her tears wet my face, I noticed that Charlotte didn't appear to be sad. Charlotte, why aren't you crying? What happened? Her face liked any and all emotion.
Starting point is 00:23:05 There was a car accident and the way home from the hospital. Just then, Leslie came down the stairs and sat next to her mother. Leslie, my little girl, are you okay? I reached out for her, but Charlotte pushed my hand away. They didn't make it. We just wanted to see the man the overseer saved. Now that we have, we can leave.
Starting point is 00:23:32 He stood up and headed for the door. That's when it sank in. The dread, the heartache, the realisation. Charlotte turned around before leaving the room. Your wife signed a deal for the both of them. Their bodies belong to us now.
