Fax of Life

by Chris Dämn

Have you ever experienced Deja Vu? It's not a glitch, as we are told in that science fiction movie. It is, however, an error. An error which occurs when the connection is lost. When you're reconnected, it just goes back to the state of which it last remembers.

You can only experience Deja Vu once you have already passed on. You are reliving your life in a flash. The flash, to others, takes mere minutes to watch. You are currently their Non-Playable Character though. You, as your current Main Character, are experiencing it all in extreme slow motion. This is happening, because you are being uploaded. The Deja Vus are happening, because of a lost connection while being uploaded. You are a recording device, to put it most simply.

All of us are recording devices for the Universe to watch itself. We are all one person living in unison as different camera angles. We pass from being the Main Character and move along to be what once was one of the Non-Playable Characters. We are all living the same lives.

I am living in my Main and typing this all out. You, the reader, are currently my Non-Playable Character. One day, I will be You as You will be Me. Because we are all just files in the system of what we know as The Universe. We all get a chance to be each other as the Main Character. This has already been done and over with and re-done in an attempt to perfect it. We are the Universe watching itself in amazement.
