The End (#3)

I woke up in a white room. It was quiet, something I wasn’t used to hearing anymore. I looked around, but everywhere, in every direction, was blinding white. I noticed my ankle wasn’t hurting and my body was at a comfortable temperature. When I looked down at my body, I noticed I was free of cuts and my clothes were clean and warm, as if they had just been through the washer and dryer. The bed I was lying on was comfortable and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t feel unhappy, or worried, or sad. But I was confused. What had happened? Was I dreaming? As I was trying to piece things together I saw a blurry figure walk up to me from the whiteness.

“Sh-Shane?” I muttered as the figure came into focus, “Where are we? I… I thought you were dead…”

“Shhhhh… shhh shhh shhh…” he put his hand up to my cheek, “Don’t worry, it’s all over. I’m here now.” His voice was clear and had a pleasant ring to it that warmed me up inside.

Even though I was talking to Shane, a man I thought was dead, I was sure this was just a dream. A dream I was sure to wake up from and go back to the real world. Then I recalled the loud bang that had rung through my ears and I suddenly remembered. I had put a gun to my head. I had pulled the trigger. I was somewhere else. I was away from the horror I had once lived.

I drew a steady breath and studied Shane’s face. I hadn’t seen him like this in so long. He was clean. His face was free of bruises and cuts. There wasn’t any blood or dirt on his clothing or his face. He didn’t have a stab wound or a bullet wound or a broken nose. His eyes were soft, unlike anything I had remembered. And he was wearing something I hadn’t seen him wear in weeks; a smile.
