[ WP ] A man dies and goes to the afterlife , when he arrives he is shown an alternate time line where he never existed , he can choose to erase his existence at the end of it .

Given It's A Wonderful Life, you'd think that no one would actually choose to erase their existence from the records of time. Unfortunately, if I chose to undo my life, five million people and counting would be saved. 
 It started when I was born. 
 I was born two minutes before my twin brother to two dirt poor but absolutely loving parents. No matter what we needed, they did everything they could to make sure me and my brother never went hungry or were missing anything important. I remember all the nights they would n't eat so my brother and I could have as many nutritious spaghetti-o's as possible. 
 In school, my brother and I did very well in very different things. He was a science geek, and I was obsessed with languages and history. When we finished high school, he chose to become a mechanic while I went to university. Or so I thought. 
 When I asked to see how life would have turned out without me, I was not expecting a huge change. Maybe my brother would be less generous, or my wife would have found someone else. 
 But then I witnessed a conversation that I had n't been present for on Earth. 
 I was standing in the corner of my parent's living room. My brother and my parents were talking quietly. 
 `` Henry, I have bad news.'' My mom said. 
 My brother looked up. `` What is it?'' 
 My parents shared a look. 
 `` We can only send one of you boys to college.'' My dad continued. 
 My brothers eyes widened. 
 `` Oh.'' 
 I winced. I remembered how I had yammered on for weeks about how excited I was to go to university. 
 My brother nodded. `` Alright. It's him, then.'' 
 I felt a sick feeling in my chest as the scene whirled away into blackness. 
 I then saw a quick flashing of images before my eyes. 
 My brother, born as an only child. My brother, going to university, and getting a degree in chemical engineering, and then funding his own degree in biology. My brother, discovering the cure for cancer. 
 I gasped. 
 I turned toward the hooded figure who had taken my hand after the car had turned my motorcycle and I into shredded bits. 
 `` Okay.''
