Re: [postcard: Rosencrantz & Guildenstern]
[It seems there is no end to on topic postcards.]
They've never said a word to me. All the dead I've seen have been flickering rotoscope images projected over the world of the living. Then again, I've never asked them questions.
Speaking through memories... Yes, that does seem a sort of haunting. I think the person being alive makes it worse. It keeps the haunting fresh. I would rather be haunted by the silent dead.
I believe there is an existence beyond this one. And I too have reasons to believe there is a heaven somewhere, but the hows and whys of entering it remain a mystery to me. I don't expect to wake up there when I die, at any rate.
No, only one. Like you, I've made little impact on the world, though several people have left lasting impacts on me. Nothing would change much if I were gone. I imagine my death would result in a sigh or two, a few disappointed shakes of the head, and that is all. Do you take some comfort in knowing you aren't suffering this kind of unhappiness alone? I do.
I'm afraid of people. Everything else is inconsequential to the pain they can cause.
