ANOMALY - Afterlife series #1
A woman wakes in a train station, but it's not your usual station--it's AFTERLIFE, where souls line up after their deaths and wait to be sorted, sent to their final fate. But *how* did she get there, and why is she apparently dead? *** Evalilly doesn't even know *why* she ended up here, and has no memory of why she *might* be dead; but she's here, in Afterlife, in an office, talking to a train station manager who assures her that she's not quite alive. She's in a coma, and normally, comatose don't venture to Afterlife. Meaning she's actually...an anomaly--a soul that doesn't obey rules. While exploring the station, she stumbles into Juniper, a "ticket collector" with a penchant for not following orders. She takes Evalilly on a wild ride through the realms that compose Afterlife, and also exposes to her all the true facets of this world of the dead. These true facets hit Evalilly hard, and she's starting to wonder if it might be better if she woke up and forgot about all this; but a strange tether to Juniper makes her want to stick around and fight the cause Juniper stands for: Anomalies against Afterlife Injustices. But she's also terrified; if she dies, and isn't *in* the main train station when her body fully releases her soul, she may become lost forever, and her soul will never be given the chance to recycle... Evalilly wants that chance, but what if her fate is for her soul to wander aimlessly around Afterlife until the end of time? She'll only know if she wakes up...or dies.Complete
