You know how it is: You're just going about your life, minding your own business, when all of a sudden--through no fault of your own (probably)--you find yourself dead. That kind of thing tends to reframe existence. The first time, at least.

When it keeps happening, the experience loses much of its wonder. As you go from life to life and world to world, eventually you'll be left asking: Sysdamn, does it ever end?!

This will be more of a novella than an epic (I hope).
