“Finally,” he thought. “I’ll be able to see them again. I only wish I didn’t have to leave my sister behind.” He had lived a long and fulfilling life and was ready to see his family again after so long. He wasn’t scared. He closed his eyes for the final time.

His eyes slowly opened to see bright light. He looked around to see his family, but it wasn’t the family he had expected.

“Look he’s opening his eyes!”

He didn’t understand. Where was his family? Why wasn’t his family there? Suddenly he remembered something he hadn’t remembered in a long time. A promise he had made a long long time ago. Why had he forgotten? He couldn’t hold it in he started to cry. He would never see his family again. Instead of a peaceful death he would always be reborn.
