Drystan took the dead-drunk guy to the realm of souls. The downtown soul realm had more buildings than Toronto downtown. Still, both of them had one old gothic-looking building, if I didn't lose my phone,I would have shown you the picture, but I deleted all those memories, anyways story is not about that, so let me describe the building, pointed arches, old detailed flowery design, the four or five tower reaching to the sky and looks dull and aged, aged like fine wine. The dead-drunk guy, whose name is Arnon knew the test very well. Drystan took Arnon to the very next building of that old one. It was busy like a law firm. Everyone was running around with papers, phone ringing, keyboard pressing, and coffee smell.
One Receptionist welcomed Drystan. He was the lazy one; Drystan knew her mistake would go unnoticed now as this guy won't ask for details of a dead guy.

The receptionist asked, "hey, Drystan, how are you?" And started to type on his computer. "What's the number?"
Here is how the death realm works. A soul with repairs enters the building. The Receptionist asks for a number; every soul is a number, repears give the number and souls are checked in. After that, they go to technicians who examine the souls and ask them questions about their life. If they need more testing, they proceed further. Otherwise, they right away go to clean their memories and are born again.179Please respect copyright.PENANAwU8MoADhUm

"36889", Drystan replies with a poker face. The Receptionist entered the number and sighed. One more Receptionist came near and said, "yours is down too?" The system stopped working, which happens every Tuesday! The busiest day of all. Everyone started to get panicky. The technicians don't know which souls have arrived. Some souls were sitting there for hours and getting frustrated. Drystan shook his head," how long will it take?"
"20 minutes", Tam came, the IT guy who knows nothing. "Trust me"
As everyone was panicked and trying to finish work, Neda came. The boss, the owner, the queen of the realm. She wore a white fur coat over her black jeans and long-sleeve velvety top. "Meanwhile, we can start to take some souls manually." She sat at the front chair with day sheets and files while wearing her glasses with chains. "Hey, Drystan…can you tell me the number again?"
Drystan had one Color-black- but it also left his face when Neda came and asked for a number. "36889", the receptionist replied on his behalf. Drystan let out a sigh; the trouble begins now.
Neda is a perfectionist; of course, she is the boss; the receptionist is her husband, Erbus, he is relaxed and calm. Neda is a control freak, and Erbus is carefree. Neda looks at everyone with piercing eyes in the buildings if they have hidden guns in their heart. Erbus brings coffee and treats. No one liked Neda. Everyone enjoyed Erebus's company. No one likes Neda except Drystan. Drystan brings souls and leave. Helps the technicians when it is rushed and leaves. Check-in checkout- done. No, how were your days? No replies of how are you? But today was different.179Please respect copyright.PENANAkZn5LNMhRy

Neda's glasses scan the drunk guy And look at Drystan, "You were supposed to bring someone who is female, not male…the data says so. Where is she?"179Please respect copyright.PENANA3T19S5USOy
Arnon looks at the accountant and says, "I took him. He was drunk anyway"179Please respect copyright.PENANAS6WyVBNiqX
"You repair not a punisher, sweetie" Neda smiled, showing not to play with her and tell the truth. Drystan is no weak nut; he looked with the same piercing eyes. Neda shook her head, "He has another 70 years to live"
"What???????? That's awesome, dude….wait…why am I here early?"
Both Neda and death say in unison with scowls on their face," humans"
Humans love to live; death can never understand it. Death brings eternal order, and they are still in love with chaos.179Please respect copyright.PENANAYI6x9d5WZ2
179Please respect copyright.PENANAwQ3F0mj8jm
And even for a moment, At some point in their life, if they want to die, when the moment he arrives, they suddenly want to live, see the world, and try again.179Please respect copyright.PENANAEE55wcTuFR
179Please respect copyright.PENANAQE3hDM5o1i
What do you want to see now? The sunsets? It's going to be there even if you aren't Dead.
"Listen, take this one, this is my last case, and I'm retiring anyway. Why are you even bothered? No one knows which soul is here and which is not. Everything is chaos"179Please respect copyright.PENANATS8FPqSUoI
Neda glared, "yes, but we are trying to solve that chaos, making balance; we can't replace one's energy with another. That girl has to come here"179Please respect copyright.PENANA0YL8bd6c7D
Death opens his mouth to say something, But the drunk guy interrupts, "can I also see how long my girlfriend's gonna live?"
Both "no"
"My friends? I hate Jeremy. Can he die early? Am I able to change it? "
179Please respect copyright.PENANAp8a64Ch0Yb
"NO, AND SHUT UP"179Please respect copyright.PENANA7fdBd2npGQ
179Please respect copyright.PENANAJQxfxbaGs9
Death: listen...
Neda: no, go back and change it. Don't make me reverse the time again, or I'll send another death this time.179Please respect copyright.PENANAzwD0IXzvJ2
179Please respect copyright.PENANAe5RPFjhSi6
A drunk guy with eyes wide open "how many of you are here?"
Both, Neda and Drystan,just shook their head.
"but you can enter into ...-" death tries to continue, but the drunk guy again cuts him off.179Please respect copyright.PENANAPZjOwqJ9pK

"Holy crap, how is that girl still alive? I knew I was going to crash her with my car"
Drystan and Arnon were standing at the same crossroad. Arnon's car was wracked, and She was there with police and paramedics. She was wearing a white coat this time, and a pair of gloves on her hands, which were a little big. She was wearing big glasses too...too bad, he couldn't see her eyes clearly, but he was sure that the sunlight was making those eyes golden.
"she's so innocently beautiful," a drunk guy said179Please respect copyright.PENANAUZ07jZHoNn
179Please respect copyright.PENANAx7qaBN3Lmp
"Yeah, she is, "death said without a thought.179Please respect copyright.PENANAsgBN8Xb2Lk
"I wish I could date her man," the drunk guy said, which made death growl... "you have a girlfriend?!" Drystan said
"hey...so what? Anyways I can see why you took me instead of her…True beauty, how can you not fall in love" Arnon was saying things swinging his hands with a sly smile.
"Do you want her as a girlfriend?" Drystan stay quiet...drunk guy Arnon continues, "I mean, you are too old for her"179Please respect copyright.PENANAfVaCIMA5TY
"Don't you think that?"179Please respect copyright.PENANArDF9K3Gdrd
"She's in her early 20s maybe"179Please respect copyright.PENANAbuPEpp8a2b
"You are what? 200 years old?"179Please respect copyright.PENANAqKihqYtsiu
Drystan turned around and looked at Arnon.179Please respect copyright.PENANAc40yIjd8ep
This time his eyes turn black with a hint of red, and he looks right into the drunk guy's eyes while fetching his shirt.179Please respect copyright.PENANAPw9gbqUYEU
"Do. Not. Say. Anything."179Please respect copyright.PENANAcRNdPtwfbN
Anger, he hasn't felt this for thousands of years.179Please respect copyright.PENANAVa0qVoxMMr
179Please respect copyright.PENANAHaKaYNPthy
He takes souls, leaves them to the realm and goes home. Again, another day another soul, and another situation to create.
Neda sent them both, Arnon to live his life and Drystan to take her soul. Arnon needs to find his body and Drystan needs to find the courage to take the light off of those eyes.

I should have uploaded it earlier, but one book was interesting and I forgot to write. Merry Christmas, I hope you have enjoyed today. I am not feeling particularly good today. But I have my own plans for the new year. I will go to my favourite place in Canada.
As you might know, I have travelled a lot, but I have lived in those places, and I have seen day-to-day lives. I find many secret corners in those cities, which become a peaceful escape. I have been to four cities in Canada, and I love only one place; I hope I can stay there till midnight..come what may...I am going there to start my new year.
