With My Smartphone
“Local High School Student Killed In Freak Lightning Strike.”
I came across an article with that title. That fifteen-year-old highschooler, Mochizuki Touya, was me.
By all rights, it should’ve been a horribly tragic accident, but the wording of the article just seemed pretty bland.
Old Man God told me that he brought my body up to the God Realm just as I was about to be cremated. The remains in the urn back home were a fake he switched out. Hearing that made me feel sorry for my parents.
I died. I traveled to the world beyond. Still, I was free to live in this world. Even if I was trapped here, I could still browse on my smartphone. I could watch my favorite shows every week, too. Plus, my smartphone appeared to have infinite credit.
It was a service from God, but apparently I was still using a standard data provider. God just had the money transferred regularly. I could use the phone to make calls, but my only available contact was God. That seemed fair, though. I was dead back home, so if I started calling, then my family would be upset.
I could read articles online, and watch any shows I wanted online... However, no calls or e-mails were permitted, and I couldn’t post on forums, either.
Still, it was quite the useful little tool. Information’s the strongest weapon, after all. He who controls the information controls the world.
