I can’t believe I’ve been dead this long, not that I know how long it’s been, that’s the trouble with eternity; it just seems a long time as I’m still waiting to register. Not sure if you will get this ether mail, I haven’t grasped the technology yet. I would not have promised to keep in touch if I knew how difficult it was going to be.
I can understand why they are so busy, more people than ever to process, what with the population on the earth plane increasing exponentially. Haven’t seen anyone I know yet, I was a bit miffed there was nobody to meet me, perhaps that’s why it took me a while to realise I was dead, which also explains why I am only just getting in touch.
Nobody else knows what’s going on either, lot of milling around, I gather the trauma cases get dealt with first which is fair enough. Can’t actually remember what I did die of, so can’t have been anything violent. When I say I haven’t seen anyone I know, I am not sure what they will look like. I can’t see what I look like, no mirrors. Hard to describe what people look like this side. Those we see in pairs or groups must have come over together, we’re all newbies, so not likely to meet friends and family till after we’ve registered. Right old mix we are too, from all over the earth plane; obviously only one portal. That makes us all equal, thought that would please you and language is no barrier as there is no language, just thought reading, a real babble, lucky we don’t feel pain as it would give me a right headache, interesting though.
Have to finish off now, looks like something is happening. Not sure what else to say… how are you, what you been doing, I can’t seem to remember what you did like doing. In fact I’m finding it hard to remember what you looked like let alone what our hou… ho.. what was the word? Where did we li.. where did I l…

Ooohhhh … this gives me goosebumps! Terrific writing and you know how to capture the reader’s interest from the very first! I quite like the idea of ‘thought reading’ but yes, headache-inducing as far too much to assimilate!

Brilliant piece of speculative ‘fiction’. Eternal confusion; what a fate. Reminds me of the old joke about people in Heaven whispering next to a wall and someone querying why, only to be told that the Catholics are on the other side of the wall and they think they’re the only ones here. 🙂

Thanks Doug, I think everyone assumes whatever is on the other side will be well organised but…

Might be a good reason to continue to believe there is no ‘other side’. 🙂
Best wishes, Pete.
