I blink a few times before my eyes land on the man sitting behind the desk with a pile of paperwork on the table.

"Excuse me?"

He looks at me for a few seconds and tries to say something, but the phone on the table starts to ring. He gives me an apologetic expression and answers the phone.

What an unlucky guy. He needs some vacation. As a former office zombie myself, I know the struggle. Yup, former. I am not quitting or anything, but rather I'm dead. I know about it because I can see the roof fall on top of me.

While typing something, I can hear thunder, and the next thing I know, the roof of my house falls on top of me.

"Oh no. You are dead. You did not survive the accident. The reason why you are here is that it was not your time to die. The system did not know where to put you and sent you here."

"Really?"

"Yes. You are supposed to die at eighty-seven from a heart attack if you did not do anything terrible and get a lot of sin points. You have four grandchildren, and another one is on the way. You finally have your dream job. It was hard work but you like it. You also married your fiance and she is willing to work with you. You have a happy married life."

"I see."

I release a sigh as I know I cannot have that life any longer. I want to scream and ask him to send me back, but I know it will not work. …
