Ok. What happened to this story?! I was barely away for a few days. As of yesterday, it still had 3 chapters. And I had left my mark on each and every one of them (who the heck dared delete my 2-page long comments. That stuff takes time to write, hallo!) And here I come back to realize it had all been rewritten. The tone has changed quite a bit. The passive aggressive comedy has given place to nervous comedy. (I shall not tell you how pissed I am that you did not inform me you were doing a rewrite while I was shoving power stones down your throat daily) Ironically, the paper I handed in yesterday was exactly about what I consider as pre-programmed death. I believe that you have truly described this idea of a greater being having control over our death. And our fear of him. You seem to be trying to demystify death as to render it less daunting through comedy. How funny would it all be if we had all died because of a clown of a deity that had something planned for us. It would be wonderful that a continuation of our life awaited on the other side. And oh the irony that Dabria (dabar means beaver in my mothertongue, I cannot unsee her being just one giant female beaver) was working so hard to avoid death to end up dying in the end. And that her skills, the very skills she used to avoid death, would be put to good use by the underworld.
