The Unfair Trade: The 9th Vessel

The Yggdrasil

"Long time ago, I am.

Now, I still am."

I didn't know what i did to deserve this. To live a very long life and get another. As i can just press the reset button anytime i want and wait for 17 months to get my consciousness back and start a new.

Well, What i mean on the "reset" button is rather morbidly, to die.

For some, To pull the trigger, to others, to jump off somewhere high. But for me, My favorite "reset" button is by taking the death "candy".

I take the pill, go to a nap, and then and there. I'm a new human being. Literally.

But before my soul jumps to another vessel, I'll be passing through a huge huge tunnel. All walls are white as snow, it is like a well lighted tunnel that forks on different paths and passages, and for some reason, I know which fork i should take, the way to my newly reborn body.

A huge amount of information or as you call it in the present time, Da-ta, passess through it as well. This information contains all the secrets in the universe. A vast amount of knowledge no man, not even me can handle.

I can see them, I can hold them. And for a moment there, I feel i know everything that is to know.

But as i've said, the da-ta is so overwhelming, my soul would explode if i hold them long enough.

This tunnel is called, The Yggdrasil.

It is the tree of life. Where everything and anything can happen.

One event can branch out to another, and with those branches are da-ta that will be formed and with those da-ta, it will branch out a million times. And the process goes on and on and on, forever.

Of course, a mother should hold the vessel for 9 months. Then after the vessel is released, i have to wait patiently to regain what is rightfully mine. My conscious soul. The average time is 8 months, after that, I regain all my memories and experiences from my past life.

I was a concert pianist on my previous one before i've been shot by an angry spouse for cheating with his wife. He caught me red handed. We were naked, My body eloped into his wife. Gyrating, Sweating, heavily thrusting. Then he shoots me.

I never liked being shot. I got to feel the pain for a few seconds before i die. Worse is if the shot is not fatal, I have to drink my spare death "candy" i always carry around, and take a nap and i have to feel the pain for another minute and a half seconds. Then to the Yggdrasil.

This is my 9th time. And for some reason, Everytime i die, The cycle continues. I never forget. I always remember. And that's the most painful part.
