《Transient Fire Works》Chapter 2: Resurrection
Advertisement
*BANG*FWAP*BANG*
"Ow!!!" Jin held his fore head as he could feel it swell a bit. "Who the hell hit so hard like that!?"
In reality, his body spasmed because his heart began to pump life back into his body. It was also due to the fact that he died to a heart failure that his chest should've hurt first but it didn't. So why did the back of his head hurt first? Answers? Neck muscles and nerves. He died while standing up, which should have made him collapse. Now that the muscles are working again the first thing he felt was the extreme nerve pain and thus canceling out all other pain.
*crack*
"Eh? Did I just hear-"
*boom*
The casket cracked under pressure on the spot where he hit his head and dirt came flooding in the casket.
It was unfortunate that inside the casket was dark. Because if it wasn't dark, his face wouldn't be buried by dirt. It was also raining hard so the dirt was slowly flooding the casket.
He tried his best to sweep away all the dirt. But the more he sweep, the more dirt that comes down on him. The casket itself also started to show more and more signs of cracks until finally the entire casket shattered into pieces.
Using every bone, muscle, arteries, vein and cells; He furiously carve his way out of ground.
Slowly, little by little, he was able to crawl out of his grave. First came his hands, then his head then his full body. Exhausted a bit, he lay down on the cold wet ground under the moonlit night.
'I'm out? I'm alive again? Ha ha... ah ha ha ha... I can't believe this. I'm really alive!' I really wanted to scream out. But that might attract attention.
'Hmmm? Why is it so airy and cold? It's also raining?'
When Jin look down on his body, he notices that he did not have a single piece of cloth on his body.
"What? Why did my family buried me naked?" I softly murmured. Was it because we were that broke? I mean the casket just crumbled. But they could've at least buried me with some clothes when I die. Now my body is just plain old smelly and my proud family treasures is just dangling in the cold like winter ornaments.
*woosh* woosh*woosh*
While I was lost in my thoughts, I heard a familiar sound.
*Boom*Boom*Boom*
'Ah... so today is also a festive day as well? No wonder I heard it even though I was four feet under.' I chuckled as I reminisce my childhood.

But a cold breeze blew and hit my body ruining the moment.
I really didn't want to stay in the cemetery for long anyhow because it was too cold.
Carefully, I tried not to expose myself to anyone. One can only imagine the shame of flashing himself at someone else. So I moved as carefully as possible.
Under the cover of night, I move from place to place and often hide behind objects hoping that no one would discover me.
'Alright. Seems like I wasn't buried far from home. Just a few more blocks'
But as luck would have it, the police have eyes in the back of their heads. It wasn't really the police that saw me but their dogs. The moment they caught my scent, they barked and chase right after me. Instinctively, I ran regardless of how I looked. I just hope that the police didn't see me or else I might be caught as a pervert. Perverts weren't really treated well in these areas.
-10 minutes later-
I was finally able to escape those bloody hounds.
How you ask?
.....
Would you believe me if I said I jumped right into an empty garbage can and hoped for the best? I rather not describe the situation I was in at that moment as of now.
My first priority right now was to find some clothes to wear before I get back home.
Luckily, right around the corner of where the garbage can was, there was a set of clothes hanging on the railings and hangers. One seems to be big enough for a male my size and the lights were out. Not a single house was lit! A perfect chance!
“Heavens please do not forsake me right now. I just want to get home” I prayed.
I check to my left and glance to my right. Not a soul in sight. Once I confirmed that I was safe, I went to grab the clothes as fast as I could.
“Shirt and pants. Check. Alright” I said to myself. So I began to dress myself in those clothes. “Ah perfect fit! Ha ha” I was somewhat satisfied because the clothes fit so perfectly.
But when I turned around, I saw a figure under the moon light standing arms crossed holding a gun in one hand and a knife in the other.
‘Oh shi-. I’ve got to-’
*pew*pew*
Just when I was about to make a break for it, the figure shot out two bullets that barely made a sound. The gun had a silencer on!!!?

The bullets lodge right into the back side of my knee but it didn’t bleed.
But it still hurts like hell!
I thought the heaven’s decree would bestow upon me great luck! What happen to my plot armor?
“Hold it!” it was a feminine voice.
I turn around to see who it was and there she stood.
She has a short bob blue hair, olive light skinned complexion and what I believe was only a dress on. On her face were some make up but it seems as though they were quite stained and ruined.
She was quick to point the gun at my eye ball as I quickly shut the one she pointed at.
“Alright little man. I’ve been having a bad day all day. So tell me one good reason why you are stealing my clothes!?”
“What? These are your clothes? B-but these belong to a man!” I said.
“I said! ‘Tell me one good reason why you are stealing my clothes?’ or else I will shoot your eye ball and brain out!” she cocks the gun and gave me a fiery glare.
“*gulp* would you believe me if I said that heaven gave me a second chance and that I just came back from the dead?” I said flatly.
*POW!*
“AGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!! You shot my eye!!!!” I cried.
“Don’t be such a little girl. It’s only a BB pellet! Now explain one more time. Why are you stealing my clothes and it better be a good one! Or else I’m shooting your other eye!” She said coldly as she aim for my other eye.
“I’m not joking! Some time ago, I died of a heart failure during a graduation ceremony. The death was by accident and so heaven gave me another chance and changed my appearance slightly!”
*POW!*
“AGGAGAA AHHHHHHHH!!!” I screamed.
But then she shut me up by putting the gun in my mouth. “Shut up! That guy died three months ago and his body should’ve been rotten!”
I really didn’t want to have any more bullets lodge in anywhere so I started to spew all I knew about my death. “I’m serious! My name is Jin Kai Zhao meaning golden victory of Zhao. I died when I was eighteen at a graduation ceremony and it was during the awards ceremony. During the award ceremony, I had a heart attack which caused me to die but no one found out until they saw my face. I died standing still. I have a mother, a father, two brothers and sisters in which two left to study abroad and two younger ones are only about nine years old as they were born twins.”
“Eh? So it’s you? How can I be assured that you are not lying and that you aren’t just a stalker?” she asks
Ugh this lady
“Fine. I do have a secret that I never told anyone before” I said in a low voice.
“Hmm?” she lowered her gun letting me speak.
“I loved fireworks when I was a kid and I’ve strived to become a fireworks maker in the future. To avoid confrontations and future dangers, I kept my academics low and put moderate efforts into my club activities during school. I also worked to earn some money in order to buy firework materials. Due to extreme stress, I died” I said.
*thud*
Eh?
Why she drop the gun?
She rushes back into her house and came back out with a newspaper.
She compared my face to the newspaper as well as the article to verify the truth.
“Now do you believe me?” I said while holding both eyes.
“Eh? But you look so different!” she frowned
“I said that heave change my appearance a bit….” (but I still was unsure because it has been a long time since I took a real look at my face)
“Changed your appearance a bit? It looks like the heaven skew your appearance to look like one of them TV models! Here take a look at yourself.” She said as she brought forth something. The only thing I can guess it is… is a mirror. But…
“Why aren’t you looking? Why are you crying?” she asks me.
“*sniff*sniff*Why ask any further? You’ve just shot me in both eyes with BB pellets…. I can't see...”
“Oh… sorry…. Well come inside and I’ll treat your eyes and we’ll discuss things after you get some rest.” She said warmly.
“Then…. you believe me?
“Not all of it. After all, who heard of a dead man coming back to life?” she smirks. “But I trust you since you look like a good guy”
‘You mean I have a face of a model but look like someone who just came out of a zoo looking like a panda…..”

The books are all free to read, If you have Kindle Unlimited. Please comment, ask questions, offer suggestions or just say hi.
