I am Eureka Bourduex, not your typical girl I must say. Since I was a kid I seem to differ myself from others, I was always fascinated and curious about life. I’ve been asking questions to myself, questions such as "where does life really came from", "why does life end at some point" and "where do our consciousness go when we die?". I am now 20 years old, at current state I am travelling with my closest friends and we are heading to some place just to find fun. I mean working all the time is really boring and this trip was supposed to feel fun, but why do I feel like something unexpected is going to happen.
Then there it goes, suddenly-- I heard screams of terror and agony, I smell smoke coming from I don’t even know where, the world is upside down from my perspective, I also see fire. It was a total chaos, then I blocked out. Moments after, I regained my consciousness. Just then was I able to realize that we were in a car crash by the countryside, but where am I now?. I see nothing but total darkness. Why does my body feel numb? I don’t even feel hurt. Where am I now?
Puzzled by what is happening to me, I tend to search the place where I was at the moment. I kept walking and walking and walked even farther, but all I can see was just darkness itself. Am I dead? For some reasons this thought came across my mind. Just as I was about to lose hope in search for help, I found someone in the darkness, she was alone and there was something creepy about her, but despite that fact, I approached her. At first, I introduced myself to her in a casual manner and we had a bit of a conversation. I knew that her name was Claire.
Everything between us seemed fine until I came to the part of telling her what was really my intention of talking to her. I simply asked her where in the world are we and I also asked if she could give me directions for the nearest town which I could go to. She laughed at me and said “You really have no idea of what is going on. We are in the abyss, where spirits wait for another vessel to open up so that we would be able to penetrate it and treat it as our new body. You are one of us now, you are nothing but another spirit in this abyss waiting for a new vessel as a gateway for you to see the world outside this darkness.”
Astonished by what I heard, I felt scared and creeped out by what I knew, but somehow I felt the urge to believe everything she uttered, because this made sense to me. At the same moment that I knew all of what she had said, flashbacks of memory from my past life played through my mind as if I was watching my movie collections at home. I came to my senses and begged for her to help me, she told me that because she sees kindness in me she would help me. We walked to find a new vessel for me, farther than where I went, after what seems to be an hour of walking we saw a gleam of light not far from what we are standing.
“Eureka run, that is your gate way out of the abyss. Do not let other spirits to reach that light before you.” Claire screamed as she pulled me towards the light. Upon reaching the light she hurriedly told me to take care of my next life and pushed me into the light.
I remembered Claire pushing me into the light, but what is this? I have no control over my body as if I was a new-born baby. As I opened my eyes, I saw unfamiliar faces around me, and it feels like someone is cradling me in his arms. Looking up I saw a man, and a woman beside him lying in what seems to be a hospital bed. Something struck my mind. I felt like any seconds from now my consciousness would fade away, and I won’t be able to remember any of what had happened. After which I heard this words from the man as he says “Welcome Baby Lucile” and I fell asleep.
