AKUDAAYA : THE LIVING DEAD

"Hi, my name is Maxwell.

A few years ago, I watched as my family attended my funeral. We had just moved to the USA sixteen months earlier and I had been involved in a fatal terrorist attack in which my body was burned beyond recognition.

I had heard stories in my culture about dead people whose spirits went to another part of the world to live as if they were alive. They are called "Akudaaya" in my native language. I never knew what to make of those stories until that incident. I had become like them, an Akudaaya. There was only one problem with that; I never died.

So, let me reintroduce myself:

Hi, my name is Maxwell, and I'm supposedly dead."
