Justice is served?

In what seemed to be the middle of the universe a man stands alone when a vivacious, piercing, white

light passes swiftly through his chest.  Bewildered he drops to his knees, and clenches his chest tightly;

he then reaches for his phone and inputs 911. “911 what’s your emergency” says the operator.  “Help”

screams the man; he clenches his stomach to fend off the overwhelming pain. With one final act of

desperation he fashioned himself into a ball shape squeezing as tight as humanly possible, but then as

suddenly as it happened the same blinding light that impaled through him just moments ago appeared

again this time exploding out of his heart, ripping him into zillions of pieces; cluttering the sky with the

tattered remains of his obliterated body.

I open up my eyes to see a vast array of nothingness, a sensation of pure darkness and despair. I try

to move, but there is no way. Looking around is not an option for I cannot move any part of my body.

I close my eyes but it is just as dark as if they were open. What is happening: am I still alive? Is this

what death is like? After what appears to be an eternity I feel a force taking control, guiding me along a

strange path, finally I am stopped looking into a long, narrow tunnel glistening with light. I try to move

into it, but still cannot budge. I fell asleep shortly not being able to do anything more. When I opened

my eyes I was looking over a large spherical structure; which I believed to be earth.

The structure was magnificent glowing with every tint and shade of color. I think I could get used to this.

No worry’s not a care in the world just to sit back and enjoy. Suddenly I started moving forward at light

speed shooting straight into some kind of vortex in the heavens. Spiraling out of control, disoriented

beyond comprehension I held on. Alas I came to a stop; now able to move my body I looked down in

horror to see what I had become. What I saw was a Reincarnation of myself a manifestation, some kind

of beast larger than the galaxy itself. No arms no legs only a gigantic body and tail fused as one. Tusks,

fangs, and piercing red eyes burning more vigorously than the sun, what have I become? Now being

hurtled back through space I am stopped back at the peaceful scene I was once next to. A voice came

down from the stars “you have been taken unfairly from the world you once knew; now it is time that

something imbalanced is dispensed back so there may be justice”. Without having any control I sped

forward engulfing the entire planet; entropy everywhere people screaming the planet crumbling in

pieces a sight of pure dismay and dreadfulness. The place I once knew had now been annihilated. All the

people I cared about now gone. Justice; however was served, fairness delivered at the cost of everything

I held near and dear to me.
