Hmm, that was fun ... reminded me of Stephen King a little bit (and I say that in the most complimentary way!). I just read his book On Writing and then a novel called Elevation (which wasn't scary at all). It feels to me like you too a conceit (time of death) and just played with it in a really fun way. I was trying to do that with a piece I wrote a while back, if you're interested: https://tompendergast.substack.com/p/please-dont-stop-birding?r=ofba&s=w&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web

Thanks Tom, for the delightful compliment! Glad you enjoyed the story. It was really fun to write and ponder about what could be on the other side. I will definitely check out your story!

I loved it. It was like an episode of The Twilight Zone.
