Afterlife
“Daddy, what is… death?” Yusuke bit his lip and looked down at the little girl that stared intently back at him. She had sure inherited her mother’s eyes. “Can’t your mother tell you, Reia?” She shook her head, “Mommy told me to ask you, because you knew more.” Yusuke put his face in his palm and growled. You’re not getting away with this one Keiko. He spread his fingers, seeing his daughter still staring at him. “You’re only four, why are you wondering about this now?” “I saw it on the TV. Mommy was watching it. People were around a sleeping person in a box, but they were sad. Daddy why were they sad if the person in the box was sleeping?” Oh crap, now what do I do? After sifting through his mind for a few seconds and coming up with nothing, Yusuke sighed and sat down on the floor before the young girl. “Death … is like sleeping. But, you don’t wake up here, in your bed. You wake somewhere in the sky, where you meet someone who will take you away. She’s a very nice woman, despite what the stories say.” “So the man really was sleeping?” “It was an actor sweetie.” He brushed the hair out of her face. “It is a very scary thing to do. Trust me on that. Not knowing what will happen next. But I also want you to trust me, that those who guide you on really know what they’re talking about.” “I think I understand,” she said. “One day I’ll go to sleep here, and wake up in an entirely new world!” Yusuke smiled softly. “Yes, something like that. Though there is no rush to get there.” Reia smiled too. “I wouldn’t be as happy without you and Mommy there with me.” She threw her small arms around his neck. “I love you Daddy.” “And I love you Baby. Now run along and play.” Reia nodded and skipped off happily. Yusuke watched for a bit before saying, “So was that good enough?” Keiko came out from her hiding spot around the corner of the living room. “Yes, just enough to not scare her, and to keep it to the truth.” He got up. “Don’t ever lay something like that on me again.”
