Interviewing Death
Meeting
Somewhere in Philadelphia,
A 25 year old girl stares nervously at the person or entity or creature or whatever that is standing before her.
An ominous feeling emanTed from the person. In one hand they held a weirdly glowing crystal lamp, a weird weapon tied to their back and strange clothing which looked like skin and not apparel. They looked in her direction before introducing themself as "Deãth".
While she would have just asked the person to get out of her house or called the police usually, this time... she felt somewhat scared and an incredible feeling of oppression and chills ran down her spine.
For a second she took him at his word and decided to belive him.
She herself did not know why....
But she just felt that the one before her was definitely not a human or robot.
Then as if on cue, he dropped another bombshell on her telling her that he had come to have an interview done... and that she would be the one to do it.
Interviewer M.
So...how should I address you as, Death?
Deãth
That name itself shall suffice.
Interviewer M.
I still can't believe that you are real and not a guy playing mind games...
Interviewer M.
But if real, why would you choose to get interviewed now? And why me? I'm not even popular locally right?
Deãth
I have my reasons to pick you.
Deãth
But you know I am real don't you? Your heart trembles nervously even though you try to be confident... the natural response of a life form in the presence of Deãth.
Hearing this, she notices that her feet and hands were shaking non stop subconsciously and forcibly tries to calm herself.
Part of her still feels that the one in front of her is just yet a scammer or fraud, but she feels a deep vested fear.
Something which makes her teeth nearly chatter and her brain is screaming danger even though everything seems fine.
Interviewer M.
// I better not piss him off... though it's illogical, I feel so scared and wary merely sitting near him. //
Deãth
... Do you not have any questions ready? When you were a 12 year old girl... thinking of interviewing Deãth was all you had in your mind... where did that goal vanish?
Interviewer M.
Wh-What! How can you possibly know that... I told no one and my diary even got destroyed---😱😱😱
Deãth
You still think I'm a con man eh? There is nothing that I can desire from a carbon based lifeform, so you can drop your guard to stop feeling awkward.
Deãth gets slightly displeased on seeing the girl's nervousness.
He slowly shifts his head or what would be considered as one.
And looks in the direction of the interviewer.
Suddenly, the flowers from her hair wilt and slowly start decaying and turning to decomposed substances at a pace visible to the ***** eye.
Interviewer M.
What?! This can't be a trick.... those flowers actually decomposed in front of my eyes.
That means you really are ---
Deãth
And you now understand that if I wanted to... you would already be dead.
Deãth
So there is no use in being wary against me... coz there is nothing you can do if I wanted you to die.
Interviewer M.
*Gulps nervously before calming herself.*
Interviewer M.
Er... okay then.
Interviewer M.
I'll begin the interview then.
Start
Interviewer M.
Then I'll start by asking my first question...
Interviewer M.
*Ahem, clears her throat.*
Interviewer M.
Then may I?
He gives a curt nod in response to her.
Interviewer M.
Okay, then can you tell me what comes after death?
She takes out her notebook to take points of the conversation.
Deãth
Let me put it across simply to you...
Deãth
When the larvae of an arthropod called Caterpillars form cocoons, they emerge from it as butterflies... am I right?
Deãth
Death is the same, only the life form is the caterpillar which transforms to a butterfly... and the body which is the cocoon decays away.
Interviewer M.
That makes little sense... are you suggesting that death is not the end but only a beginning? OR is it reincarnation?
Deãth
Reincarnation is a term coined by humans... what actually happens when you die... that is something you will know when you die...
Interviewer M.
But does that mean there is an afterlife?
Deãth
That is an incorrect assumption humans have made.
Deãth
There is no afterlife or undead... only life & death.
Deãth
A continously rotating cycle of life and death.
Deãth
Just consider this as life and death... continuously recurring to form a complex pattern. Maybe someday, your scientists may be able to decipher the actual cycle. This is merely an illustration.
Deãth projects a hologram from his left hand.
Interviewer M.
Uffff... I didn't get any of that. 😅😅😅
Deãth
You wouldn't... there is only so much that a human mind can comprehend.
Interviewer M.
Er... I'm not retarded you know... my IQ is pretty high... it's
Deãth
That is precisely what I meant by too low...
Interviewer M.
Er... then what would be the minimum IQ necessary to understand what you said?
Deãth
In terms of human standards, an IQ of 259700 would be required at the very least.
Interviewer M.
But that's impossible?!
Deãth
As of now... maybe.
But your science is really backward.
It's barely passable for 4000 years of civilization.
Interviewer M.
Wait. How did science come into the picture?
Interviewer M.
Isn't death supposed to be related to... um, magic and myth?
Deãth
Magic and science are the sides of the same coin.
Deãth
But, why cannot science be involved in the process of death if science is involved in the process of life?
Deãth
How humans and other life forms reproduce or how new life is born...
Deãth
Science has discovered much on those issues right?
Deãth
It's the same for death.
Deãth
Only it's much more difficult to analyse the scientific part of death without having an IQ of 270000 - 280000.
Interviewer M.
I still don't believe it's possible to have that much of an IQ.😓😓😓.... could it really be true?
Deãth
Like I said... you humans are pretty backward. And it's not an insult, just your current situation indicates how poorly your planet has developed.
Deãth
There has been too much of infighting on your planet.
Deãth
Also, as it's civilization is extremely backward and even stupid as per the standards of your local supercluster.
Interviewer M.
I beg your pardon?😐
Deãth
You do know Kardashev scale of civilization right?
Interviewer M.
Er... I heard that term before, not sure what it means though.
Deãth
Then use that famous search engine called Google.
Deãth
Understand it? It's not that life does not exist outside of your planet... rather, the people of your planet are unqualified to even know the existence of other civilizations.
Interviewer M.
So aliens exist?😨😨😨😨
Interviewer M.
And they are much more advanced than us?
Interviewer M.
what the heck shit...
Life & Death
Interviewer M.
... I have another question. I hope you can answer it please😀
Interviewer M.
Are there any creatures which are immortal?
Deãth
No... change is mandatory, what is born must die in order to exist.
Deãth
I'll let you know a shocking truth then
Deãth
Life is finite... after life, death must come. It is a compulsory stage. Else, if creatures exist even after their life is gone... but are unable to die, then they will simply be deleted from existence.
Deãth
You never expected that...
Interviewer M.
...But you said undead was not possible.
Deãth
Which is precisely why they shall cease to exist if they cannot die when they have no life.
Interviewer M.
What who would do such a thing?
Deãth
... Once more, I cannot explain anything directly as your human brain is incapable of holding such things in it.
Deãth
I'll just give another analogy.
Deãth
Think of the universe as a giant computer system which is partially sentient.
Deãth
The Malware who in this case are those who can't die but not alive either,
are deleted by the universe.
Interviewer M.
The universe is partially sentient?!!!
Deãth
Did you think life came out of thin air? Actually it did... but what I mean is that it took the big bang boom to get things started... but life, death and all the other aspects... you need sentience for that.
Just like how a programmer develops computer software to operate on the system, so too in the caqse of the universe.
Interviewer M.
Woah... are you speaking of
Deãth
Yes... the one which some call as God, Infinity, The One, The Source, Master, Absolute, Divinity, Creator and so many other nicknames.
Deãth
The universe is like a computer where we are all softwares and God is the programmer.
Deãth
As for what you humans are... that's forbidden knowledge which cannot be told to any life forms.
