The Tragic and Untimely Death of Kal Donovan

Kal realizing he was no longer alive walked to the end of his hallway. It didn't seem like he had really died, however he remembered getting shot. Clutching his wound, seeing his bloodstained hands. He had no doubt that it was the end. Reaching the doorway at the end of the hallway he opens the door into an expansive theater. It wasn't all that surprising to Kal that it was showing his life on the screen. He took the only seat in the theater and watched himself grow to the age of 27. He watched as he learned to walk and talk. He watched as him and his dad went fishing for the first time. Oh how he loved fishing. Where did all of his time go. He did what he was supposed to what everyone was supposed to. He graduated highschool, went to college, got a job and started a family. He was a civil engineer working on a new bridge. He had everything he ever wanted.

In the corner of the screen Kal saw something he didn't really expect. It was showing a man he had never met, well not really. He knew it was the man that shot him but that is all he knew. The man was scaveging food from a trash can. The man left with a few scraps, Kal watched as the man walked under the very bridge that Kal had been working on. 

Under the bridge was a small family. This broke Kals heart. They reminded him so much of his own. The man had a young wife and two sons just like Kal. 

It started rewinding slow at first but it picked up speed as it went. It slowed down and then resumed. The man was asking for a loan from a well dressed man. It skipped ahead he was getting beaten by the man next to a burning building. It must have been his home. 

It skipped ahead once more and the man was walking down the street by Kals house. He saw himself walking towards the man. He knew it was coming but he couldn't help but flinch when the shot went off. 

The man went through Kals pockets and took everything he had on him. Kal shivered, it was odd watching your own death. The scene skipped ahead and the man was given a key in exchange for Kals wallet, by the same well dressed man he had got the loan from. How strange.. 

It skipped forward again and the man and his family were opening a door to an apartment in the inner city. Kal had given his life so another could survive, survival of the fittest or the most evolved I guess. It would seem his untimely death was really just a new beginning.
