Berserkr

A azure expanse stretched as far as the sky could see. Below it was a verdant green, and filling it was a few whispy wishful clouds. It was beautiful, a perfect Valhalla for a perfect soul. It was far too good for Amelia, and she knew it. She was a monster, and an atheist. Hel's domain should have been the best If have recieved.

She closed her eyes, and opened them again to the same blue sky. It scared her. It was scary being wrong about the afterlife, and twice as horrifying that someone like her was given this. She cried because she had killed things better than herself that would torture her slowly for years, and she was unarmed.

No, wait. Something was in each of her hands. Why hadn't she noticed that before? There were heavy whatever they were. And she was clothed too. The fabric breathed like the underlay for her flak-jacket. It was wonderfully form fitting. Almost got her a date once, kinda.

Amelia turned her head back to the sky above her, and then she sat up. The beserkr wasn't sure what injuries she had gained during her blood rage, but she felt better than new. She looked down, and was stunned to discover she was wearing her flak jacket, and holding her weapons, and alive, or at least she looked alive.

Was this a coma dream then? A long but not eternal dream? Would Amelia wake up ten years from now to a changed world? Twenty?

Amelia wasn't sure. She'd been avowedly atheist for years. She didn't know about the latest discoveries religion wise, and she knew even less about coma dreams.

Maybe she was in another dimension? She wasn't sure how her rifle could have survived such a cataclysmic system failure, but she'd read a story about something similar happening to a marine. It had been marked fiction, but rifles had interdimensional transporter tech in them, and Amelia guessed that it might be possible that she'd been transported somehow, but that didn't explain the healing or the unbroken rifle.

Amelia trudged down the hill slowly. She'd tucked the axe into its holster, and slung the rifle. She wasn't sure when she'd started walking, but she'd seen a pink creature off in the distance. She hadn't awaken with a helmet on her head or nearby, so she'd been forced to stick with her eyes, and that pink blue had only been seen as a pink blue.
