Excerpt
Three:
The next few lives on Earth were more of the same thing.
Kaleb and I would concentrate on finding each other before we would leave here.
Then, after some years would pass on Earth, we would. Not once did we miss.
Every first greeting was basically the same. The second we would get close
enough to each other down there, that’s when the acrobatics would start. We
would slam right into each other, bump our heads together, tripping and
flipping over one another every single time. Always somehow causing one of us—mainly
me—if not both of us, to die.
No matter how far apart they placed us on Earth, Kaleb and I
would find each other. It was my guess that using my theory made us like
magnets—accident magnets, as Gwen so kindly put it. We were hurdling toward
each other like comets at light speed, coming at each other so fast that we
were literally crashing into each other. We gave a new meaning to the phrase
“bumping into each other” because we actually were.
It’s a unique feeling, being on this end of this odd little
situation. I had been shoved out a second-story window, and then was lucky
enough to snap my neck and be trampled by a horse I had spooked once when I hit
the ground. In the next life, I was rolled onto a very highly active beehive
and then stung to death (no, I am not kidding). Then, imagine the surprise I
felt in the life after that one, when a certain someone was running with a
wallet he had stolen, and then shoved us both off a train platform into the
path of an oncoming train. I still don’t know if that person ever got their
wallet back.
I am sure all of this must seem rather disturbing from where
you are sitting. I know I would certainly feel that way if I were reading this
from where you are. It’s quite an interesting perspective for me, being here,
right now, knowing all that I do, versus being on Earth and having the limited
knowledge that we were allowed. It really turns things around and sheds a
different light on it—don’t you think?
With the knowledge of home blocked from our memory, life and
death can seem so absolute from the human perspective. Death seems final,
bringing with it fear of the unknown, and such anguish to the ones that are
left behind.
You know what they say: hindsight is always 20/20. Imagine
what Earth would be like if this knowledge weren’t blocked from our memory. It
would certainly change the way we view our lives while we are there. Naturally,
if some were armed with this knowledge, they would be much more adventurous,
never taking their life seriously enough to truly learn anything. Life on Earth
would take on less meaning. Then again, perhaps knowing our lives do go on
would help some to live their life with less fear and appreciate their time
there. Maybe they would strive to be better because they know. Isn’t having a
little knowledge better than no knowledge at all? Something is better than
nothing, isn’t it? To be able to utilize this knowledge might help propel us
forward and help us gain a sense of purpose. If only there were a way to leak
some of this knowledge somehow…

AUTHOR Bio and Links:
Billie
Kowalewski grew up in a small town along the Connecticut shoreline. She’s
always had a wild imagination and spent her childhood dreaming up stories. This
would often lead her to the library or whatever bookstore where she would be
combing the shelves for books that closely resembled what was in her head at
the time. A lot of the time she would come close and would be satisfied with
what she found. However, there was always this one story she could never find.
It was in 2010 that she decided to write it herself. In whatever spare time she
has left, she enjoys listening to pretty much anything that rocks, like 80's
hair bands, metal, etc. She also has a gift for finding the strangest movies
and shows ever (according to her children) and loves spending time with her
family.
