THIS MAY NOT END WELL
Prologue
I’m going to tell you about the night I died.
Now that I’ve arrived here in the life-between lives, everything has changed.
In this idyllic world of soft-focus mountains and watercolor trees, I now view my life on earth with perfect clarity. It’s a paradox, I know, but you’ll understand when you arrive here.
While you’re alive, every action appears so final. You feel that the events happening at the moment are important and absolute. Well, I assure you, they’re not. You get many second chances.
This is my take on the whole thing: when you’re alive in the world, you’re sitting in a movie theater watching a riveting film. You have the starring role, and all the action revolves around you. You’re so engrossed in watching the movie of your life, you actually begin to see through the main character’s eyes.
It’s not until you leave the theater that the reality of your time on earth falls down around you like a stage set, all make-believe. Now I see my life like a word shouted into an empty sound stage. The echo reverberates in ever decreasing intensity, and it grows less significant as time goes on.
But don’t feel sad for me. It’s not about that right now. It’s more about getting at the truth of who murdered me.
