Keys to the Universe

It was on the 4th of July when Seth got into a huge wreck. He sat at the intersection not paying attention to an oncoming car coming in from the left. Seth blindly pressed the accelerator driving forward. His car was smashed into by a speeding car at 70 miles an hour. The collision totaled his car and the other driver's car. Seth has just survived the collision or so he thinks. He believes he was flung out of the car and proceeds to walk to his car not noticing his own body in the driver's seat. Looking around he sees how bad the collision was the other car plowed through a fence and sat in the front lawn of a red house. Its front was dented and smashed to oblivion. He looked over at his car seeing it had been spun around by the impact.


He sits down trying to remember what happened not getting anything except the past, the distant past of his life. While he contemplates what happened or tries to remember the Grimm Reaper appears out of the woods and stands beside him. Seth looks startled to see the Grimm Reaper appear before him. He had never thought he would see the Grimm Reaper ever in his life. To him the Grimm Reaper was just made up, some myth or urban legend someone came up with to mess with people. The Grimm Reaper held a ring of many keys in his hand and the well known Scythe.


"Hi am  I dead or some crud?" Seth asked the Grimm Reaper. "What am I saying I am not dead I am no-"


The Grimm Reaper slapped him across the face with a bony hand. Seth fell the ground from the slap but not feeling a thing. It was as though some invisible force slapped him and no pain came after it. Seth rubbed his cheek expecting to see blood on his hand and fingers. To his surprise he didn't see any blood. He did not shed any blood at all. This confused him quite a bit.


"Wait that did not hurt? So that means..." He looks into his car to see his own body, his corpse in his car. "Holy Moly I am Dead!"


"Keep calm, just calm the heck down." the Grimm Reaper said in a cool strange voice.


"You are not the only one to freak out, but you are one lucky son of a bitch! See these keys these are Keys to the Universe." Grimm showed to Seth's face.


"Uh okay what do you want me to do with the keys?" Seth asked feeling dull about this situation.


"These Keys I will hand to you which you will take in exchange for bringing you back to life." Grimm explained to Seth.


"You can do that?" Seth asked the Grimm Reaper. He scratched his head unsure about this.


"Let me show you." The Grimm Reaper said picking out a key. He pushed it into the air and a door appeared. Grimm put the key in the lock and unlocked it. The Reaper pulled open the door to show Seth a doorway to some strange world. This world looked completely alien to him it was like a mixture of love craft, and a sci fi film.


Speechless Seth took the keys agreeing to take them. He looked at the Grimm Reaper who explained the instructions to him. Seth listened as best as he could as the fire trucks, ambulance, and police arrived along with a dozen or more eyewitnesses and those who heard the collision. For some reason he heard the Grimm Reaper loud and clear. His task was to sell the keys to someone will to buy them while he was back to life. Once the Grimm Reaper was finished he snapped his bony fingers and Seth found himself back in his own body being taken out of the car. In his hands was the ring with the keys to the universe. Seth was take to the hospital where he recovered a few months later. Once he was out of the hospital Seth goes to a college town where he graduated from.


At this college town Seth explored the town in search of someone to sell it to. He looked at all the people whom he wished to sell it to on a whim. Something inside him kept him from selling these random people. One Wednesday Seth walked on the sidewalk feeling it was going to be hopeless until he bumped into a freshman named Dave. The two of them introduced each other. Dave's gaze went straight to his keys which he asked Seth about.


"What's with the Keys?" Dave asked Seth.


"Oh these Keys well you are not going to believe where these keys will take you!" Seth said to Dave. He picked one of the keys and proceeded to open a door before explaining to Dave what the keys did. Instead he chose to show what the keys did.
