My journey of Reincarnation
As soon as I died I forgot who I was in life, I passed into the afterlife and was cordially advised that reincarnation was a reality of one's soul and was an important lesson in my soul journey.
Due to a few poor choices I made during life, I was told I needed to pay my karmic debt back by reincarnating one individual life cycle for every person I let down during my own life.
Once I completed all these life cycles, my slate would be wiped clean and I would finally be free to ascend upwards to the next realm.
It sounded like a fair deal to me.
To my disgust though, my reincarnation journey started off as a rat!
I lived my first disgusting, lonely existence for 3-months before my neck was snapped in a rat-trap.
My next life as a house mouse lasted about 4 weeks before a giant boot crushed me while I was nibbling bread crumbs on a kitchen floor.. I still remember the intense pain of my little bones breaking.
Since then I've been poisoned, drowned, diseased and lived in the most filthy conditions..
I can't remember how many miserable, humiliating ways I've died but they were all dreadful.
Just a week ago I starved to death on a glue mat trying to reach a block of cheese, it took a week to die just from starvation!
I didn't always respawn as a rat or mouse though, sometimes I was a cockroach or a flea, but those life cycles weren't too pleasant either and always ended painfully.
I'm sure I must be getting close to completing all these life cycles by now!
Something's been feeling really off lately...I feel like I've done this thousands of times already.
I don't remember what it is I did though?
The power of memory of my human life was taken from me.
It can't have been this bad though?
I feel like I'm being unfairly punished.
The other weird thing is that at the start of each life I see words appear in my field of vision, and my most recent life-cycle appeared like this:
'Name: Adolf Hitler.
Deaths Caused: 85,000,000
Death Debt Remaining: 84,645,200'
I can barely read, and I don't know who that guy was or what he or I did when I was him, but I sure hope those words mean I've nearly paid this debt off by now, I've had quite enough indeed.
I hate being vermin, it's just so cruel and demeaning.
And I really hope that one day for me, there might be a final solution.
