It's the year 2099.
My name is Ezie Soprano and I am 98 years old.
Currently I am hooked up to a machine that is prolonging my life.
This procedure usually costs millions of dollars but for veterans that fought in WW3, it's free.
I have been here for as long as I can remember, staring at these four white walls.
I'm sick of it. Very much so.
I regret signing up for this treatment, I no longer have that fire burning in my chest..I wish to rest.
I want this to end.
As if the universe was listening to my thoughts, I feel my breath become less and less frequent. My heart began to de-accelerate. My eyelids grew heavier and the room tempature dropped to freezing.
If you stumble upon this tale on Amazon, it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.
The previous illuminated room was getting more dim by the second until it was completely dark, I could hear multiple voices of women and men which I assumed were doctors and nurses.
Finally, some inner peace.
I saw the white light like how the bible described. I was confused because as a soldier that fought in the war against the terrorist forces, I took many lives of men, women, and children. Innocent or not. I spared none.
However, I was already prepared for Hell.
This white light...If i traverse it...
I fear what lies in wait for me.
Floating in this endless void suits someone like me better than whatever the Gods have in store for me. I pull away from the light.
I'm scared to face my judgement.
A force attempts to push me towards the light but I resist with all my willpower.
I do not wish to be forced to do anything anymore. I want to remain non-existent forever, no worries, no responsibilities, nothing.
Just me, and me alone. I've had enough.
However, the force had other plans. It pushes me out despite my protests and I was met with more bright lights.\
My chances of a care-free existence were thrown out the window and I was instantly filled with dread when I heard a husky voice say,
"Congratulations, It's a boy!"
