Just got back from lunch and wanted to take a moment to keep pushing to build my daily blog habit up. Was having a conversation with a co-worker who has been out of the office for some time due to a broken leg and had one of those random thoughts that may end up being something in a story later. What if your time here on this earth has to do with your karmic balance and the availability of a reincarnation slot? You don’t get to die without having adjusted your scales in some way and there has to be an available slot for you to be appropriately reincarnated into.
It needs some work, but I can see some potential story options there…
