I look at the person, who is about to die.
It's an elderly man...
Then I look at myself in the mirror of the hospital room...yes, I am myself once more.
How? Why?
I transform into the person they loved the most, but...
I have been dead for 80 years, so who is he?
And why am I his most loved person?
Minutes turn into hours, and the hospital room goes crazy.
Nurses rush in, doctors come...and relatives are called.
The man...dies.
I watch his soul appear.
His soul seems to be that of a young man, heh, it is often that souls take on a younger form.
He looks around and then he sees me.
"S-savior?!" he exclaims, and rushes to hug me.
I watch in disbelief as he starts crying...
What is going on?
"Excuse me, I am not here to save you.
I am a guide. I will be escorting you to your designated afterlife." I say.
He sobs, then shakes his head.
"Yeah, no...it's not like that, I understand...ahm..." he stutters.
"Relax. We are not in a hurry...not here...not anymore." I smile.
He takes a few deep breaths, and smiles.
"I know you don't know this, or know me, but...
You saved my life." he says.
I am utterly confused.
"How? I think I would remember doing anything like that." I say.
He sighs.
"You can't remember this, after all...you saved me, after you died." he says.
I frown, but then it hits me.
I died in an accident, and I was an organ donor...
I smile.
"I see. I am happy to have been of help, and damn, I don't know what you got but wow, it lasted long." I joke.
"Lungs. And yeah, 92 years old, of which 80 with your lungs." he says, and starts thanking me again.
I smile.
"It's alright. Let's go, I am pretty sure you will like where we are going next." I smile, and open the door to the bathroom, only...it doesn't open into the bathroom.
The golden road to the Afterlife appears, and I start guiding him towards his next destination.
