I Resist the Muses

Do you believe in an afterlife? What do you expect to find when you get there?

Ahaha. Are you serious? I've been to the afterlife. It's... pretty fucking boring sometimes. Oh, not all of it. And I get to live my life, in a way. It's stilted and the Fates don't let me do anything fun, really, but it's still an existence of a sort.

What did I expect to find when I got to the afterlife, though? So totally not what I got. I was expecting more of the fire and brimstone, to be perfectly honest. I'm not exactly the nicest of people and I'm sure as hell not always a good person, despite what the Fates and the rest of the higher beings seem to think.

Not what I got, though. What I got was kind of a second chance.

You don't get to where I am in life by being all sweetness and light. (Of course, where I am is dead, so that should be obvious.) But you know what? I don't really regret any of it.

Well, wait, that's not entirely true. I regret a few things. I regret that I ran off instead of telling Kristof I was pregnant. I regret not getting to be an actual family with him. I almost regret trying to escape that facility. Because my doing that means my daughter is growing up without her mother. Without the one person who was a constant in her life.

So yeah, I know what would make my life easier.

My life would be easier if I hadn't tried to escape -- or had at least had an actual plan. Because then I'd be alive.
