Fell To Hell

I was scared of death. One reason was I did not want to experience that moment when I won't be able to breathe, the second reason being I did not know what happens after death. If I did not know what was coming then how am I suppose to face it.
I did not know that the thing which I fear the most would be standing right in front of me and I like a fish would walk right into it.

It was the last day of school before the long-awaited summer vacation started. One part of me was feeling content as I could make up for my lost sleep, play as much as I want, in short freedom. Another part of me was downhearted as I won't be able to meet my friends anymore as most of them were leaving school.
That day being the last day of 10th grade we partied the whole day. Our seniors even planned a horror movie for us( popcorn and coke included). As the day was coming to an end we cried and hugged each other saying our final farewell.
Hana was my closest friend. We promised to keep each other company throughout our life. We lived in the same neighbourhood and therefore walked together to school and back home.
 That day Hana did not pay attention to the road. This casualty of her costed my life.
We were supposed to cross the main road which would further lead to a narrow bridge, across the narrow bridge is the apartment where and Hana and I lived. While crossing the main road Hana started running and at the same time, there was a huge truck coming towards her. I had an adrenaline rush and without thinking, I ran towards her. I pushed her towards a pillar and everything blacked out.

 After a few moments, I started having very familiar dreams. One dream showcased my mom and I hugging each other while eating ice cream, it was one of my most treasured moments as this was the last memory I created with my mom before she died in a car crash. After the series of dreams ended I slowly drifted towards unconsciousness.

Once I woke up I felt cold, I instantly thought that maybe I lost too much blood. After few seconds I realized I was being carried by someone. I could not feel any part of my body( it felt like I was kept in a freezer for 24 hours). I could not open my eyes so I tried to move my hand as a motion saying I was awake but I could not move it. The environment around was so quiet that I could have heard someone from a km. .After few mins, I was laid somewhere which felt like floating honestly. It was amusing. The amusement did not last for long as I felt a strong pain in my right shoulder and that pain was spreading throughout my body. the pain was unbearable, I wanted to scream but I could not I wanted them to stop hurting me. I thought I was in the hospital and probably going through surgery. but why was it so quiet?? no machine, no beep noise. The pain increased and I drifted towards unconsciousness.

When I came into my consciousness I was skydiving without any protection. I was scared of height why would I even do it ?? I started feeling dizzy, but I contained myself and opened my eyes to look around, it was then it hit me that the surrounding was so unfamiliar. Hana had showed me her pics of skydiving in Dubai last summer with her parents (illegally since she was underage). The surrounding around me was covered with red smoke and then I had to look down to confirm what was happening. Yep, I was right this does not look like the picture Hana showed me. Maybe I am dreaming. Then it hit me that this is it, this is my end this is how I am going to walk into the lap of death. The question which I asked myself is whether death going to embrace me? am I going to hell or heaven?? and then I slept again maybe exhaling air for the last time.

When I opened my eyes I was crowded by some weird looking people. They looked like normal humans the only difference being they had red horns and had worn Halloween costumes. The red horns looked so real, that I wanted to touch them so badly. It was very hard to describe the surrounding. did I get into some weird fancy dress competition dream?

someone said, "she doesn't look like she is from hell!!".

What were they blabbering, 'HELL'.I am dead aint I or maybe this too is a dreamlike the skydiving dream, but; this is too real to be called as a dream.
Someone came and moved my collar to expose a tattoo which was not there before. I detested tattoo, why would I carve it in my body.
" She is from heaven. I am sure she came to spy on our activities." someone from those weird looking people spoke.
hey, I did not come to spy on anyone.

One boy took a step towards me and everyone exclaimed and started chanting "don't". He had put on a brave face and exposed his shoulder which too had a tattoo but different than mine.
" what are you doing here?? open your mouth this instance, or I will have to call our king," he said in a hard tone.
I dint reply instead I got up and started examining myself, the first thing which I noticed was that hideous tattoo. who carved it on my shoulder?? my whole body felt sore. I lifted my hand and this when I saw; I can see right through me. I glanced at the furious faces in front of me and I could see right through them too. I reached for my head to check if I too was rewarded with horns- no thank god I was not. so is this a dream or is it real? I had so many questions I wanted to ask, as soon as I found my voice to ask a question a harsh voice cut me.
"answer us!!!" the same guy screeched.
my brain was not functioning and I was probably hallucinating. I mean people generally hallucinate when they lose a lot of blood don't they?
"My name is Simone. can you please tell me why the doctors are dressed in funny costumes? Also, is Hana ok? why do I look so odd?? is today Halloween?? am I dre......??" my questions were cut short by someones deep voice.
"your name! what is name??" the guy exclaimed.
ummmm ok what is this, I had to get up from this terrible dream !!!! I pinched myself really hard hoping I would wake up. nope, I did not. everyone was staring at me with bewildered eyes.

THIS IS REAL!!!
