stuck in between

afterlife there are so many theories about what awaits us after our lives end. Some pleasant ,sone grim, some logical and some religious. nobody knows which one to believe because no one has been there with a chance to return and tell the tale. you never believed in ghosts with unfinished businesses or purgatory. but your starting to have second thoughs as you look at the silhouette of a body in front of you. its black like a shadow but somehow you know its you. how can you see yourself while outside of your own body?your at a shore. you see a rocky cliff from afar. you were there, you remember. did you fall off? jump yourself? or did someone push you? what was your name? did you have people waiting for you? WhY cAn'T yOu ReMeMbEr? your attention snaps to moving figures from afar. you rush over in a paniced state hoping to find some helpbut you come to a stop as you look at the odd creatures before you." not human" your mind screamed. they float around aimlessly,muttering words that are hard to understand. while creepy, they don't seem hostile. one figure, however, approaches you.you had to blink several times to make sure your seeing right. a floating skull. a floating horse skull with crocked horns approaches you. their voice screechy,like dragging something sharp on a chalkboard as they laugh. "oh oh another one so soon? how delightful" it says with glee. "do not fret child i am a friend!". it cackles like a maniac."Welcome to the purgatory,or limbo ...or whichever you wish to call it. you have 10 days to remember who you are and how you got to my realm. if you stay here for too long ,you will forget who you were and will forever roam my realm aimlessly like the rest of these husks. retract your steps and avoid getting cought by the soul eaters. i suggest you start now or another "aware" might take over your body and scape instead of you" yeah your officially screwed (boys,girls and non-binary pals are all welcome) (ignore the voice please 🥲)
