Actually, the unit of currency might be human souls, if not too inflationary. But the agent in me was more curious about the delivery method. That's why I avoid representing ETs; it's impossible to "migrate" payments. They then of course blame the agent and some would demand payment in kind in the form of toxin-free body parts, and such. Very messy.

It gives offshore banking an entirely new meaning. Have you ever tried depositing an inter dimensional check? Please, makes domesticating funds from the Cayman Island's a cake walk.

Frankly, it gives the term "blood money" a new and quite literal meaning.

you mock us, Peter... this book is obviously not a true tale...

No Sondra, I verily am not mocking you at all. Please, take a look at the Eustice Seeney books, and the author, DD Cross, a well known physician/scientist. The approach to the narrative(s) is truly novel, and gives a fresh look at the NDE, and the afterlife.

I just thought of a great book title -- A FRESH LOOK AT DEATH: Deconstructing decomposition to find what's leftover after life.

You know that's catchy. It made me stop, think, and roll the concept around my mind. 

A Fresh Look at Death: Deconstructing Decomposition Discovering What's Leftover the Afterlife.

That makes some slick copy. Now do the book.

I have to get my first manuscript sold, first, before I can go back into the darkroom and develop great imagery with my pen.  It's called WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU ARE DEAD - thanks to Jeff's eval of one of my posts about it.  It was called THE YEAR I FELL TO EARTH, previous to that.

But I could use "A Fresh Look at Death" as a media hook for the first ms.... hmmm....

Dead Account.

The Year I Fell to Earth is similar to The Man Who Fell to Earth...eh-

Things I did when I died.

What keeps me intrigued is the title: Go to Hell! (I DID) Interview with Eustice Seeney, its remained a "cult" that's lasted over a decade. Go figure-Silly, simple title, but it resonates. It's "branded" if you will. 

Sort of taking a commonly used phrase and tweaking it-The public, audience is fickle, and you either grab them with something quirky or sharp, or you never get in the door-

Hi , I've just joined this site , interesting and witty discussion.

My boyfriend and I watched a brilliant movie last night . It's taken from the novel by Richard Matheson and called STIR OF ECHOES, with Kevin Bacon, brilliant.

I won't say give to much of the movie away, in case anyone wants to see it . But , it gives a very good view of spirits urgent to communicate,  the dead and a persons obsession. Our perception when doors of the mind are unlocked . Excellent movie, worth a watch .

I have experienced many paranormal activities when spirit world have wanted to contact me. Some very scary. In my last house.I'm sure I had a jealous spirit. When I started uni in 2006 I was given my first computer, I was 40, I also had a course of lessons on how to use it . Lessons were at home. The technician who arrived for my first lesson was great , he had a fun sense of humour and we clicked straight away. I was single at the time , he was married , so there was no chance as I believe in faithfulness and a life long partner through good and bad times. We were laughing nearly all the time as I made endless mistakes , I was scared of my computer and didn't have a clue. Then my bathroom door began banging loud, opening and closing very fast, he was scared and asked if I had a ghost, I said ,'not sure,but  don't worry that happens sometimes, the window is open causing a big draft'. He relaxed saying, " if you have, i'm running out" After a while the door stopped , but I knew it was a spirit as the window was closed and there was no draft at all. Maybe the spirit was trying to warn me or scare him. For me, it was quite funny.

Looking forward to reading more tales from the dark side. oooOOOOO!

  LOU LOU .
