My name’s Matt, I’m eight-teen years and two days old and I live in Chur, it’s the year 2015, I’m sitting in my room, in the night, playing the XBOX Two and about to rage.

“Verfickti arschsüle! I werd di no umbringe du arschgsicht!” [Translated : Fuckin ass column! I will kill you, you assface!”]

To make it short, this game does make me aggressive, that’s why I play it always in the night when my parents are asleep, but sometimes I get a bit too loud, and they catch me.

I stand up and shut the console down, going over to my bed and crash on it, falling asleep on impact.

I open my eyes slowly and look at my watch, noticing it’s 7:30AM and I am now missing the first hour of school.

“Isch ja schön.” [Translated : That’s nice.”]

I stand up, make my backpack ready, put some black pants and blue sneakers on and lastly a black jacket.

I check my watch again and notice it’s now 7:41AM

“Verarschisch mi? Isch a doch nid möglich!” [Translated : Are you shitting me? That’s not even possible!”]

I go down and see nobody is there. Also si sind scho weg oder no am schlafe. [Translated : So they’re already gone or they’re sleeping]

I take off my jacket and throw it to the corner, looking where it landed, nodding then, continuing to walk towards the kitchen.

I go to the fridge and look around, finding nothing special. I close the fridge and walk over to the counter, seeing some cut bread.

I take two pieces and start eating them, checking my watch regularly.

I finish eating the bread, go upstairs, take my backpack and small pocket knife -Better be safe then sorry- and walk to downstairs and up to the door.

I open the door and realize the first thing, I’m not in Chur, I’m not on the ground, I’m floating.

“Das isch nid wahr!” [Translated : “That’s not true!”]

I was thinking I was dreaming, I looked at my nose and started to turn it around, giving me a insane amount of pain, making me realize that this was the real life, and I start feeling the gravity getting easier and easier, until there is no gravity at all.

I breath in and out steadily and look out and see that I’m in space and that I’m breathing even though I’m in space.

"Bin ich betrunke oder uf droge?” [Translated : “Am I drunk or on drugs?”]

I look around and see that everything was floating around and hitting the walls and ceiling, making me chuckle a bit.

I take my backpack off of me and throw it somewhere near the door.

Das isch also d’wirklichkeit. Isch scho cool eigentlich. [Translated : So this really is the reality. It’s kinda cool actually.]

I see how it was just leaving earth and the sun behind, letting me stand in darkness, seeing only stars and other planets I never saw.

I go to the kitchen and take an apple, taking a bite of it and walk over to a window, looking from it, seeing a blue ball that looks just like earth, just it had different continents, it looked like it only had one massive and one small one, looking very strange.

I go to another nearby window, looking out of it, seeing the same planet but now a small part from what it looked like a moon.

I take another bite of my apple, walking over to a chair and sit down, just chewing on my apple and thinking what I saw in this day.

“Totatli katastrophe, isch ja ‘s einzig was mir id sinn fallt.” [Translated : “Total catastrophe, it’s the only thing that falls into my mind.”]

I stand up and pick up my backpack, throw it out into deep space and close the door, having a massive smile on me.

“Nie meh schuel, isch ja super!” [Translated : “No more school, that’s awesome!”]

I got to the window and look out of it and see that the planet becoming smaller and smaller, making me think that I’m trapped in space forever.

I brush the feelings off and take a bite of my apple and chew on it, walking to the chair and sit down on it, looking around.

Laaaaangwiilliiig… [Translated : Boooooriiing…]

I stand up and walk over to the same window I standed and watched out to where I’m headed, and I see no planet near me, only far away stars and some other small dots.

I look away from the window and look to the door, walking up to it and open it up, taking a deep breathing in and out.

I walk over to the kitchen, take some food and water and put it into my pockets, going to the door and jump out, grabbing on the roof and sit on there, looking around.

Wunderschön [Translated : Beautiful]

I look behind me and see the blue planet again, seeing how it goes closer...always closer, I see some sparks

“God im...universum?” [Translated : “God in...universe?”]

I looked, seeing how fast this house dropped and how the wall and roof just started to break off.

After some seconds, the house was just gone, and I was feeling how it burned my skin, making me feel like I was melting.

I closed my eyes and turned so that I was flying down with my back hoping that it won’t hurt as much as from the front.

I was wrong, my spine gave me the feeling as if it would just relocate to the front of my body, but it didn’t, a relieve there.

What actually surprises me, normally, I would be long dead by such a temperature, I think, I might be wrong but I don't care, I was still happy to be alive...more or less.

I turn around and go with the head down, attempting to hold my head to stop the feeling as if I will be split in half any moment but fail, my hands are glued to my sides, not able to move at all.

I see the clouds and think that this is going to be my end, expecting for the worst.

I breaked through the clouds, only for my right foot hitting something and making me lose my shoe.

"God dammit, that was my lucky shoe!" I yelled, still having the eyes closed.

I was scared, I thought I would die, I opened my eyes and stared towards the ground that was always coming closer and closer.

“Wart mal, ich bin nonig tot...das heissi dass ich nid vo des sterbe werd.” [Translated : “Wait, I’m still not dead, that means I won’t die from this.”]

I just smiled casually and thought this will just give me a massive headache, nothing more.

Boom.

I was lying on the ground, thinking I was dead, having my eyes closed and my hands on the ground, lying like I was dead, soon though, I stand up, wobbling a bit, and seeing everything double, crossed and...just plain wrong. The amount of pain I was thinking of the impact was wrong, it didn’t give me a massive headache, it gave me a gigantic headache, making me use foul language and lots of "Argh" because of that pain.

I stopped after some minutes, opening my eyes seeing that there's fog, very thick fog, making it hard to see.

“Das chan nur schön ende.” [Translated : “This can only end well.”]


Author's Note

Now then, my first chapter in my second Fanfiction, I think my writing has gotten worse from the first story, but I might be wrong, who know- oh wait, you guys do.
Anyways, I hope you enjoyed it

The sentence at "“God in...universe?” is in Switzerland known as "God im Himmel" and it just got a direct translation, in english it would mean "Oh god"
