I felt like all my hard work, years upon years of struggles and all was for not. My own life story, my own life itself… was nothing more than just a game for this God character, or whatever IT was is using people for. Most likely it, God, is using its creations as entertainment to fulfill his self desiring mentality of group worship of the lesser beings he creates.
"Now my children, I will bring you two to the world of Averna, we will meet again before your respective ends. I know you can and will change this world for the better. I love you my children." Is what God told us before a weird sensation fell over me.
It all felt like a dream, my life was akin to that of royalty compared to what I started out with on Earth. My family situation was… horrible. My father when I was younger, was the man I looked up too, but after the 2008 financial crisis, he changed… he drank a lot, almost always buying a 18 pack of beer every 2 days. After that, in around 2010 he started developing the habit of beating me up for no reason… worse then that was my mother. She constantly sexually assaulted me and… did worse things to me when I was a young adult. She took pleasure in my suffering and sold it online for everyone to see. At some point my mind became blank and I accepted life. In 2012 by some stroke of luck, whether by some higher being or the universe correcting a mistake, or even someone else just messing up, both of them died simultaneously in a car wreck on interstate 5, letting me become free from the suffering I've been enduring for a very long time.
After that, I inherited their belongings, which wasn't much, but I used it to rent a small place in San Francisco and go to therapy. I went there daily, to vent and figure out my problems, one thing my therapist suggested was to go to college to help my carrier path, seeing as in high school I was pretty smart. So, I decided that that's where I met my assistant and business partner. Those times were probably the start of when I also developed my… unique tastes in people. By then also my business partner, assistant and I created a business out of an old warehouse, named "Re:Do-Life", to try and give the human race a better change, and more opportunity for things we weren't able to do. 20 years of hard work, over 14 years of barely sleeping, and 8 years of lobbying congress. We finally approve mass testing of our companies' products on the public. I was about to celebrate by taking a back seat to the progress, allowing my partner in the business to step up to CEO. But it was all for not… the leader of the aptly named "The Organization" ruined my life's work, my goals I worked so hard to achieve… and it sunk me into the depths of despair.
Worse than dying by him was the fact, by the twisted hate of God, I am seemingly now bonded to him in this new world of Averna. I hear all his thoughts and emotions, and I can tell he feels mine…. It's been give or take five days but I've had enough finally… "You've gotta be shitting me!" I said for probably the hundredth time in pure disgust, "You, you of all people? This God individual, whatever that thing was that transported, transmigrated, reincarnated, or whatever'd me into a baby… and you're the person who I am connected with? This has to be a sick joke, I feel violated that I am even talking to you" I finished in disgust and dejection, attempting to glare at him.
The person who I was speaking is supposedly my new brother, named Siegfried, is also the man who was the leader of "The Organization" that terrorized my company Re:Do-Life and KILLED me in his very own suicide, "Trust me Amaranthine, I don't enjoy this either." he said whilst mentally projecting to me him rolling his eyes "Forced to be trapped in the body of an infant no older then 1 month old, and you being the ONLY one to talk to is…"
"Yes, yes, you've been stating that for the last few days Sigfried." I said oozing sarcasm, interrupting his speech I've heard over a dozen times, "We've been able to read our own minds and thoughts through these interactions, gaping at our own individual pasts for a while now. I don't get why the hell you're using these names, my real name is…"
"We are no longer who we were Amaranthine, do you see cell phones or modern medical equipment around us?! We're in this world so get used to the new names." He mentally yelled at me, which caused me to mentally flinch back. I was taken aback, in the five or so days we've been in these infant bodies he hasn't yet snapped. It was quite… scary. "And trust me knowing who you are doesn't make this easier for me too. We aren't who we were on Earth, we are in a world completely different then what we are used to, do you not understand? This little spat between us has been going on mentally for over five days, and I haven't been able to figure out a mute button on this… telepathy thing yet. I feel this is the point at which you and I need to get over it and figure out what the hell to do." he said, sensing his hope to finalize this almost five day back and forth between us.
"I get what you're saying… "Siegfried", but you cannot just expect the woman you JUST killed to be okay with this whole situation, and to realize there is a God to some effect is deeply disturbing… This is just a sick joke, and I hope to wake up from a coma soon…" I said, trying to hold back the tears I knew where coming. I can tell he's attempting to understand my feelings and can empathize with me, but that's all poppycock. He cannot understand where I am coming from. My past, my goal was all designed for me to win, not to lose. My past traumas… they were for nothing… nothing… noth…
"Waaaaaa, Waaaaaaaa" I started to cry on the outside now, from all these bullshit emotions pilling up within me. It was too much. I knew he was right; I knew it but… why… I could feel his piercing gaze fall upon me, but at this point I couldn't care, nothing mattered. I just want to crawl and jump off a building.
"Will you please shut the fuck up now Amaranthine; we need to plan and think of what to do next. We aren't in a position to do anything, and your crying is annoying as shit. What was it that God said that is different to this world to our previous one? Do you remember? What happened to the woman who created something so large as Re:Do-Life, that took an organization like mine to slightly damage it." He said, bringing back again his seemingly out of character mood, it snapped me out of my crying fit, and I attempted to calm myself down.
"I.. *hic* I think it was something to the effect of we are now in a world of new world consisting of magic, swords and sorcery and that we are do to something here." I said, slowly steadying myself mentally. I truly hate agreeing with him but he's right, I need to steel my mind like I did when I was CEO of Re:Do-Life. I have to be stronger now more than ever.
"Okay great, glad you remember. We are here on a mission, but I doubt that means we are something of a God… or heaven forbid Demon in this world. But we were given a purpose and from all the stories like Samson and David in the bible, we both should've been given something to help us out. We were born as twins for a reason, right? We need to figure out what we can and cannot do and figure out our surroundings." He stated in a semi-unsure tone, but his little monologue got me to my mental feet.
I don't need to like this man to work with him for a while to get to my goals. If I can't do what I want on Earth, and my struggles aren't here… I need to embrace this new life and figure out how to do better… I can tell he's already thinking of strategies, I need to join him even if its until I can walk out of this place.
