How death became death

A Long time ago there was a little boy, his name was Victor. Victor was around 5 years old, he lived in a little village. He lived in a little house with his mom, 2 sisters and his only big brother. He knew everyone in the little village.

 It was winter in the village at the time and most people couldn’t afford warm clothes so they stayed inside, Victor's family did so as well. 

Victor sat by the window with his sisters and brother. They all wanted to play outside and make snowmen with their friends. In the afternoon one of his sisters had an idea that all of them would sneak out of the house while their mom cooked dinner.

They put on their boots and the warmest jacket they could find even if it wasn't enough to keep them warm for long. They sneaked out through the front door and hid behind a snow covered bush. His brother got an idea and wanted to ice skate on the frozen lake by the woods, they didn’t have ice skates but went anyway.  They walked through the icy and empty village, it was almost hard to believe there were people living there.  Snowflakes were falling from the sky as they wandered into the woods, the trees were white and not green as it used to be. 

They soon saw the frozen lake that used to be a popular spot by the summer. Victor’s brother grabbed a stick and began hitting the ice to see if they could stand on it. He stood on the edge and Victor got hyped and got on the ice right after. He slowly slid out to the center of the ice as his sisters also got on the edge of the ice. They shouted.

• You can’t stand in the center, the ice is not as thick there as it could break! His sister called out.

• Come back to the edge now! Yelled his brother

Victor looked down at the clear ice and began sliding back with his feet unwillingly. And then slipped, he fell on his knees and he heard a crack. He looked down and a big  crack was underneath him, his heart began to race. His sisters yelled at him to come to the edge and back to the ground but he was frozen. He couldn’t move he was too scared. He hears a crack again, he feels water on his hands. Cold water on his knees and hands. He tries to stand and the ice completely breaks under him. His brother screams as Victor splashes into the ice cold water. His body goes alert and starts panicking, he feels the clothes on his body pulling him down in the ice cold hurting water. His lungs hurt his whole body hurts as he tries to swim upwards. He couldn’t he heard the dove screams of his siblings that began to fade. He couldn’t feel his body anymore just the burning in his chest like he got set on fire. He gave up and he tried to breathe and took in water instead and soon died looking up at the ice he will never return to. 

He wakes up on the bottom of the lake in the icy cold water he sees his own body, it is limb just lying there. There is no life in the eyes like it always used to be when he looked in the mirror. He got scared and flew up through the ice and back on the ground, he met his mom crying on the side of the lake. He ran to her and hugged her but she didn’t move or react. He tried to call out to her but he got no response, just tears dripping down like the water from his wet hair down on his small legs. He sat there next to her till she walked home after the long afternoon, Victor stayed confused and lonely by the lake he just died in, with no one to tell him how to go from there or what to do. 

He spent the rest of the night looking at the snow covered forest and the snow that glittered when the moon shone on them. He went to climb an old tree and sat down and slowly fell asleep on one of the big branches.

When he woke up he got hit in the eyes by sunshine. He looked away and sat up. He rubbed the sleep out of his eyes and stretched. The climb back down to the grounds and looking around he watches the lake for a while and the big hole in the center. He knows his body is down there he thought it was scary as he maybe didn’t really understand all of what had happened last night. He walks around in the forest that is still covered in white. He walks around rocks,  branches and small old sheds that he used to play in with his siblings in the summer. They used to play bakery with moss and mud. He played by himself for a long time thinking that his brother and sisters were there too. He made a big cookie with mud from the ground and he topped it with some old leaves from fall. 

Soon he looks up and decided to walk again. After a little while he sees a blue light. It is on top of a rock and as Victor moves closer through the snow the little blue light forms it expands. It moved around on the rock and soon it had a figure of a girl. She was curled up in a ball, she wore a suit, a dirty suit and a long skirt also pretty dirty covered in mud at the edge. She wore no shoes, no hat, no gloves but still she had a warm aura coming from her. Victor tried to communicate.

• Hello? Who are you? He asked

Still no respond. She couldn’t hear him but he heard her. AS he looked up from the girl he meets hundreds of blue lights all of them a human or animal being.  They are all looking lost trying to find a way back to their lives. They walked through each other like the other didn’t exist. 

The whole forest was lit up by lost souls who couldn’t have peace. Noone told them what had happened or what they were supposed to do. Some were quiet just walking around others screamed and cried.  Everyone had different reactions, everyone had their own story before this. He reached out to the girl and she fell into a sleep he could hear her thoughts and communicate that way. 

• Oh god what happened, the girl thought and Victor responded.

• You're dead.

She had apparently been living with other homeless children at a train station and tripped down on the thrall and there it ended. She couldn’t get up on time.  He helped her understand the situation, she got sad but calm but accepting it and she found peace. She disappeared from him. He didn’t understand why but left it there he did the same thing on another soul. This time it was an old man. He wore nice clothes and a weird hat. He was yelling for help but nothing came out of his mouth. Victor touched the man's hand and he fell asleep. He panicked in his thoughts too. Apparently this man by the age of around 75 had been chopped off his head by his wife that was jealous. That explains why he couldn’t scream or talk.  His souls was mad at his wife and couldn’t find peace so he let him go but he didn’t turn in to a blue light like before he turned gray, he was a ghost or ghoul. 

After trying on multiple people lost in the woods and most of them finding peace and went to rest. Some could not and turned grey like the man and got trapped between dead and alive probably until they accepted that they are dead. 

But still Victor didn’t know how to find peace himself  and just continued to help other souls. It found him peace, happiness, sorrow, excitement and sadness.  He wanted to be free too.  

He went to bed. Next day he wakes up. He is still him, but bigger and he couldn’t see himself. He had a long cape that was torn. A voice in his head told him this. 

“You will find peace by giving it”  So that he listened and he helped lost souls with no peace. These souls did not fear his scary appearance as they only saw the five year old boy in him. He helped lost souls all over the woods and began walking to where he knew/ feelt there were lost souls waiting. He learned that all souls had something kind in them more or less, but sometimes not even the soul could find it and that way stopped them from peace. 

He is still collecting souls and hopefully will always do but one of his favorite souls was Liesel.
