So here's a little of the back story. I'll reveal that as we go along.
It seems I died, after a long and decent or better life. Can't really remember a lot about it right now.
It turns out that when I died I was somehow transported to a room (Don't ask me how, I don't know.) In the room was what looked like a middle aged, sort of non-descript man at a computer. Here's how it went:
"Jed Clark, age 94."
"Yes. Who are you?"
"Call me, Pete."
"Pete?"
"Pete."
"Um... as in Saint Peter?"
"As in Pete."
"So, I'm confused..."
"Everybody is. Here's how it works: I'm going to send you to a room, third door on the left. There's a computer in there. Take all the time you need. Figure out what kind of a life you want to live. Anything and everything is possible from living totally by the laws and rules you just left, to living some sort of a fantasy life of your own creation. Tell me what age you want to be, what you want to do with this new life, the physical, mental, and emotional make up you want to have. Whatever.
It's all on the form on the computer. Think it over carefully. When you come back to me, whatever you put on the form is what you get."
"I don't understand."
"Yes, I know. You have lived 50 lives. You can't remember any of them. This is #51. In this one the rules change. In the first 50 you got what you got. You lived the way you lived, mostly based on where you were born and what kind of situation you were born in. The first one, you were barely human; it was a long time ago. As time went on you lived life after life. Some were short some were long, some were in between. Sometimes things went well, sometimes, kind of good and bad, sometimes not so good, once or twice, horrible. For #51 you create it, set it up, then try to live it. Don't forget to set the Potential levels where you want them, and the characteristics, too."
"This is weird."
"Yeah, yeah. There's a video, with FAQs. Look at it before you fill out the form. It will explain everything, well the video and the FAQs will. If you have questions not listed in the FAQ section you can ask on the computer. Anyway, when you have all the information you need fill in the form and bring it back to me. I'll set you up."
Really, really weird. I think I'll tell a little more about basketball before I go on with this.
