Original Submission by Jeevan Maniam

There I was in the garden, waiting for the unknown. A man in a ghastly white suit approached and asked me gently “Say, you’re given a chance to fix everything that has happened to you for the better. Would you take it?”

I pondered upon the question or rather an offer and replied, “To live a life without mistakes and trouble?”.

“Why, yes!” he said.

“What might I learn from such a perfect, dull life?”.

He seemed to be amused by my retort as I was ushered into the gates.
