8 p.m. at Paradize Gaming Company, a petite female figure was seen typing on her computer. Looking like a plain businesswoman wearing glasses with a small build, the girl focused on her computer and ignored the fact that it was late at night. Yes, that plain-looking person is me. Please allow me introduce myself.

        I am Shizu Minami, a 24 year old Japanese woman. Pursuing my hobby as a gamer, I became a game programmer and managed to get myself into the most famous gaming company at the age of 22. My life is fairly normal like the rest of the populace, and, occasionally, I would stay behind to complete my work.

       Staying back behind late once again, I finished up the final touches for the latest game project I was assigned to. An hour later, I finally completed my tasks. As I looked away from the screen to my office window, I saw outside that it was raining cats and dogs.

       “Damn! It’s this late already?!! I still haven’t fed my cats yet! I hope Mom remembered to feed them.”

      I quickly packed my items and left the building. I walked carefully, yet briskly to reach to the station. As I waited to cross the road at the crosswalk, I saw a pair of teenagers walking besides me. They seemed to be arguing about something. Soon, their argument became violent, and one of the teenagers pushed the other onto the road. The latter stumbled to the middle of the road.

      Steadying herself, the teenager turned back and angrily shouted back to the teenager who pushed her. However, in her angry state, she did not notice a car driving fast towards her. Worried for her safety, I quickly rushed towards the teen and managed to push her out of danger. As soon as I pushed her away, I felt a huge impact on my right side and got thrown a few meters away.

      A few minutes later, a crowd quickly formed around me, and I saw one person holding his phone seemingly calling an ambulance, while another person laid me down on my back. As I laid on the ground, I felt my body bleeding profusely and my strength weakening. Soon, I started to feel cold and my eyes getting heavier.

      “Cold…. Next… time… careful...” I mumbled with my remaining strength to remind the teenagers who were arguing previously and now apologizing to me.

       “Ahh…. I guess this is the end for me. Hahh… how I wish I could see how the project went, and I hope the cats at home would be able to accompany Mom when I’m not here anymore. If… If there is another life, being a cat would be less tiring than my current life now.” I thought to myself as my consciousness slowly faded away from the world.
