An Ordinary Boy with an Extraordinary Purpose

Author details:
My name is Kavin and I am from 10B.
My hobbies are to sketch and play video games.

The Fall of 2017 was a turning point in my life. That faithful Wednesday, I hurried out of my school to only change my life and its purpose. I was walking home when suddenly, I felt a chill embrace my organs and muscles, as my body flew a couple of yards from its previous position.

I attempted to get myself onto my feet and noticed my chest feel lighter than before. I said, "It sure is a miracle to momentarily have a heavy heart from a bad mathematics paper change to a really light chest". I inquired of the reason of my apparent fall and right then I noticed people walk right through me. I WAS A GHOST!!


It did not take me long to realize that I was killed in a car crash and was now a levitating soul, and to go and fix my math teacher up with a couple of scares as a comeback for the terrible correction he had done for me. As I left school through the lobby window, I found a ginormous glimmering gold-plated gate appear in front of me. I was rather flabbergasted, yet took the time to have a little giggle, thinking to myself "It’s funny to think when one window closes, a gate opens"

I soon walked myself to a huge corridor. It was as white as can be and this brightness almost blinded me. Then I found myself facing a large counter reading "God". My heart was in my mouth and my brain in my knees, I was mind-blown.

 "God", I thought to myself, "definitely a guy with a good sense of humour or else he is just like my dad. There are the only two kinds of people in this world".

 As I turned up, I saw a huge face, white brush-like eyebrows covering the eyes itself and a dense forest-of a-beard.

"You look quite textbook, eh!" I said.

The face replied, "Ho, Ho and another ho! I am not God, it's a placard just to butter the way up to heaven! I got you, didn't I?" and he continued " I am the Gatekeeper, please state your number...or name, whichever deems fit".

"I’m Scott..Scott Plummeth," I said rolling my eyes after that ludicrous crack.

"You’re quite a rare one, eh, death by car crash, right on the zebra crossing...after a bad test."

My eyes still wide in surprise listening to the boulder of a head speak.

"And because your remorse still due to the math test, your soul can still travel to the earthly plane and have a questionable spiritual solidity.”

"So I am the only one like that, yes?” I inquired with a faint grin.

"Till date” , the gatekeeper replied.

 "I have a superpower!" I yelled in excitement.

Suddenly I found myself slightly dazed beside a handsome, yet lifeless body.

It’s been six years since I have left my body in search of a larger purpose.Ghost-kid! I have helped the people of District B-13, Mumbai. The crime rates have dropped ten-fold and none of the criminals know why. I help the people using my invisibility and super-strength.Well, I can't brag either, can I?
