It's pretty much the same every day: I wake up, go to work, and sleep.
That's an exaggeration; my life is not that boring. I’ve got friends, families, I’ve got a life, I’m good. Sometimes I read, play games, watch TV, etc.. but I died.
I don’t know how it happened. I think I was hit by a car but being injured in such a manner doesn’t bode well for my memory so naturally I can’t remember well.
Whatever the case, it doesn’t seem that important anymore being in the river of reincarnation after dying.
However, it is quite incorrect to call it a river; it's more like a massive tree made up of softly glowing orbs flowing from these portals of varying sizes. Looking up, I see a dark void littered with stars, and looking down, I see more of a slowly moving ocean. It seems I am at the very surface.
Huh, that’s strange, I thought.
Well, now what?
It is clear that I am being reincarnated, but why am I still conscious? Is everyone conscious? I’m still a faintly glowing blue orb like everything else that makes up this moving mass, like a ball pit.
As a matter of fact, what proof do I have that I’m even dead? All I know is that I was probably hit by a car and that’s it.

I could be in a coma for all I know, *sigh*.
For now I am just an orb, so how do I talk to others? No mouth, no noise. Perhaps I can control the glowing?
I focus on my ski- membrane to try to affect the glow. No difference. I focus on the inside and try to tune down something. Shit, nothing's working. Time for plan B.
I will now ram into the nearest one. Despite my attempts to control the glow failing, it seems perfectly natural to float around and easy to control my trajectory.
Nope. It’s not that easy huh.
For the next few minutes I try everything. I moved with the ocean, I moved against the ocean.
I ram several orbs, still nothing. Looking up at the almost endless void that seems bigger somehow, I immediately forego that idea. Deeper then.
Still nothing. I could only get a bit deep until the density of orbs is too difficult to enter.
Looking up I couldn’t help but feel a bit scared.
What happens when I enter the void? Will I die? Will I survive?
If I go there I might survive, but I might also die. In any other circumstance I wouldn’t go but looking around there is nothing for me to do but wait for something to happen for god knows how long.
As of now, I have no choices. Either I leave, or wait a bit more only to be given the same option again. There is no difference between leaving now and leaving later.
… Fortune favours the bold, I guess. YEET
