salvation

Down in a spiral my thoughts went till the last thing I could hear was nothing.

Opening my eyes to see I wasn't in a room…I wasn't outside either. It was foggy and white.

A cold chill ran from my head to my toes. It was as if someone else was here with me..or watching my every move.

I stood up, my hair grazed my skin as I looked around.

Is this death?...Am I dead?.....I looked down, finally noticing my clothes had been closed.

I felt something ruffle in my pants pocket…that picture…of the night sky…how did it?-

I suddenly heard footsteps, my head shot up and looked around. I couldn't tell where they were coming from but they were getting louder. And louder and-

Until they stopped.. good evening young man.

Who are you!??!???....hava..the voice replied. Where are you?...I'm everywhere, everything, everyone, and every being. Now you young man are a sinner not on purpose at least. For your beliefs and the ones you love, you felt guilt and regret for those you have passed. Though for a sin there comes a wish and you wish to be forgiven, I shall Grant this wish but with one need, you shall set this world free.

Rid this world from all evil, my dear sinner.

My clothes turned fully black and my skin was a little pale. I looked up to see a book which the cover read "Dystheism". The book opened to the first page with only one line and one word. Name _______.

I looked at hava a bit confused because I didn't have a pencil.

He then took out a knife and handed it over to me. Cut your finger tip off.

I looked at the god with wide eyes and then back at the book…why does this have to be me…I whispered under my breath.

I got onto the floor and placed the knife over my right index finger…I breathed in for a second then screamed.

The blood from my hand was gushing out. I had tears in my eyes from the pain of rubbing the big cut against the dry paper, it stung every time I moved it…but I managed to put the final letter of my name.

NAME s͟h͟i͟n͟i͟g͟a͟m͟i͟.

The book then flipped to the next page, showing a bunch of places and names.

Sato, Natsuki. HOME *******. JOB, MAFIA assistant/assassin.

Yamada, Nami. HOME *******. JOB, BURGLARY.

Vince, Hina. HOME *******. JOB, BOMBER.

Kimura, Kanata. HOME*******. JOB, identity theft.

And the list went on and on till the bottom of the page said, salvation list of sinner's.

Your new job young man is to salvage the souls of all the people in this very book. Once the very last person in this book is brought to peace, you will be forgiven. Though for each individual person you will have 6 weeks to save them or your last resort will be to end their suffering. And remember, every sin comes with its wish.

The man then handed me a calendar. This shall be how you keep track of how much time you have left to save their soul for salvation.

The man touched my head and a cold feeling rushed through my veins, I heard the screaming and cries of souls then for a second I felt the not so sweet release of death. But then I opened my eyes again realizing I'm in a giant field. The Grass looked almost dead, the sky was filled with clouds and thunder, echoing voices screamed into the Misty air and I was standing in the middle of it all.

Looking around I see the only bright colored flowers in the field.

I bright yellow colored flower bloomed in the only spot light made it around the dark clouds.

I walked over to the flower touching one of its golden pelts before the flower dropped dead out of nowhere to the touch of my pale skin.

I jumped back in surprise then touched the little spot of green grass the flower used to live on.

The grass died at my cold touch turning dark then disappearing just like the golden flower.

My eyes widened. Did I just- whatever you shall touch that breaths shall die at your cold touch.

I looked back at the god once then at the missing spot of grass where a beautiful flower used to grow and shut my eyes.

And then I woke up outside my parents house. There were police and paramedics rushing in and out of the broken wooden door.

There were a lot of scared people watching on the side…and I was now one of them.

I looked as they took my sister's body out of the house into an ambulance, then my father,then that woman, then my old body.

I turned around to see a mirror shop and from the window I saw the new identity I now had.

A hooded man with pale skin black hair and dark cold eyes.

I looked back at my old house then at my hands. "Every sin comes with its wish" ran through my head.

I started to think about the meaning of that frase.

The book from earlier appeared in my hands with the first person's name underlined.

Sato Natsuki. Salvation starts now.
