(Part 3) I got a notification that I just died... but I'm Still here..

Part 2 - https://www.reddit.com/r/stories/s/cC71mbhYaP

I tried calling someone. Anyone. My phone had no service—but one contact remained: "Operator."

I called.

They answered instantly.

A calm, digital voice spoke: "Congratulations. You are now aware. Awareness disqualifies you from simulation auto-respawn. Please proceed to manual selection."

I stammered. “What simulation? What do you mean disqualifies?”

But the voice just said: "You were never supposed to wake up."

The lights exploded. My phone melted in my hand like wax.

And the apartment… flickered. Like bad CGI.

My bookshelf vanished. My couch turned into a loading bar.

And standing in the hallway—was another me.

Wearing a suit.

Smiling.

He raised a finger to his lips and whispered: “Shhh. Go back to sleep. I’ll take it from here.”

[End.]

Or is it....? Stay tuned
