White.

Every little object that my eyes can perceive was white.

I look around to find if there was something that could tell me where I was.

My soul must be colourblind.

My muscles were numb. The nervous system wasn't coordinating. I couldn't blink my eyes. I couldn't turn my head. I couldn't move my hand for it was chained. Chained to the bed I was laying on.

White. The surrounding was white. My eyes spotted many things this time. Many others around me were in the same condition as I was but much worse. Their legs were chained. Their hands were chained while only one of my hand was.

Why?

Everyone was struggling.

Is this a dream?

Or is this the actual reality?

Is the world that we lived in before an illusion?

Is this the hidden truth?

Why?

Why are we sent into a dream when this was the reality?

We are captives of the almighty.

Is there a place beyond this?

Parts of my memory were falling into place.

That's right.

I faced death.

My soul is tied now.

I can't escape.

A superior finding a host, a host for a dream.

A dream of reality.

A fake reality.

Facts don't sound right.

Were all the lives I lived until now a lie?

Six lives, eight children, many grandchildren, the professions I pursued.

It's a lie?

You want me to accept that?!

I remembered all of my lives.

As a singer, a detective, an officer,  a writer, a producer, a university student and a criminal.

Why?

What was to be learned from this?

That's when it hit my head, my soulmate.

My soulmate died with me.

Can a soul feel?

Because there are hundreds, thousands of emotions riling me up from the inside.

The images of my soulmate and I, from the six lives we have spent together are surfacing.

Where the hell is she?

Fear.

Fear of what she's feeling now.

Is she alone?

Has she figured out the truth about the After Life?

Is she crying?

Is she as frustrated as I am right now?

That was just the beginning of my thoughts.

More fear built inside me, as I wondered if she was tied up in chains just the others around me.

Chains.

No one dares to use chains on her.

No one.
