Thursday DE: After Life
Aug. 3rd, 2017 07:55 amInspired by yesterday's DE!
There's a really neat, lovely movie called After Life. It's a huge favorite of mine. The central premise is that when you die you go for a week to a waystation where a team will interview you and help you select a single memory to take with you to the next place. (Will you exist in that memory forever, as your afterlife? That seems like the implication, but it's not clear. The people working in the waystation don't entirely know what happens themselves. They make a short film of the movie for you to watch, and then you vanish.)
So: your character has just died (or died again, given Milliways). There are some kindly social workers asking them to select a single memory to retain for the afterlife. What do they pick?
