Chapter 2: That’s how it is

It feels like a very long time has passed. The presence I’ve felt moving around me before was now gone.

I still can’t move as usual but I can think.

I am in deep trouble. Maybe due to being dead, I do not feel sleepy. When I was alive, I am able to sleep but currently, I don’t even feel tired. I gave up trying to sleep after counting up to 10,000 sheeps.

Now then, what should I do?

****

Oh, I can feel that presence moving nearby again.

Yup, it’s probably someone preparing a coffin for my burial. However, I can’t feel my body being transported so it may not be a burial at all.

****

It has been around 100 times the presence disappeared and reappeared again, but still there haven’t been any changes since then.

What the hell is this? Evidently, I am helpless in this kind of situation.

Because I can’t really do anything, I decided to do something like meditating and unified my mind into a single point. If I did this long enough, I will reach enlightenment.

****

Finally, that presence faded away. There is no other thing to do than meditation. I can’t get mad. And because I already died, I can’t be killed anymore.
