Who are you in the past

 Hakan was so happy to finally see his parents. They were young and youthful just like he remembered from his childhood. He ran towards them and hugged them. Tears were flowing through everyone's eyes.

From over their shoulders he could see his uncle and aunts, his older brother Daniel and his younger sister Anette. They were smiling. Hakan had a big smile plastered across his face too. They were not the wrinkled old selves either but youthful! He realised that he himself was not feeling any of the body aches. He rolled his tongue around in his mouth and his teeth were intact too!

‘By Jesus I can't believe all of you are here !’ said Hakan in excitement.

The smiles across the faces of the people dimmed a little. Ennette intervened and said ‘let's all have supper, it should be ready!’

‘Yes yes let's go’ said Hakan.

There was a large shaded area with a table where 20 people could sit. 

There were already his grandparents , his uncles and aunts, everyone from his family he knew of, seated. 

Everyone was waving at him and welcoming him. He went around the table and had a small chat with everyone.

He could not help but notice that everyone was wearing small lockets around their necks. 

The food was brought by Daniel and their cousin Eirik. When everyone was seated, the grandmother stood up with a glass in her hand. 

‘We thank the gods for bringing Hakan into the family!’

‘Cheers’ everyone applauded.

‘As a welcome gift for you, we present to you the symbol of our families continuity’ continued granma Anna. 

His father placed the small locket in the shape of Thor’s hammer in front of Hakan. 

‘What is this!’ he exclaimed.

Everyone burst into laughter. 

‘We have been cut from our gods on earth, but in Valhalla we continue our traditions.’ his father said in a serious voice but with a smile on his face.

Hakan was confused and had a frown on his face. ‘Jesus is our saviour, father you lived in faith, how can you accept this?’

On earth you didnt know what happened to us and how we were snatched from our traditions. But those traditions were never broken here. We will introduce you to your ancestors from hundreds of years ago, you will then know the truth.

‘I will never’ shouted Hakan.

‘I told you he will leave us and join then other’ joined in Daniel, ‘many families have been broken here, we would loathe for you to have to do that too.’

Hakan was confused. Last thing he remembered about his life on earth was his family sitting around him. He had suffered for a long time due to cancer. Here he was in heaven or valhalla or whatever this place is. And the first thing he is brought to face is his entire belief system from his past life!


The place is the afterlife. All of your ancestors are present together! All of the stories across generations and their aggregated experiences are available to you. Who are you in this new light of information?

Murphy's world

  Everything did go bad! Sun, the god of so many civilizations, the giver of warmth and life, now wants to burn! The rivers, goddesses to be worshipped, along whose banks humanity thrived, now carry currents of acid.  It looked like Nature, treated as feminine force of nurture, had finally abandoned its spoiled brats. Along with humans, all other life suffered, even the ever elegant trees. The air is hazardous, the storms bring dust and poison. Volcanoes were busy redistributing lands, taking some and creating some. The ocean currents had weakened, and europe, western north america had frozen over. While siberia and eastern north america were desertified. The legion of Iron were all that was left to clear off the mess. We had to try to clean up the mess and create large enough areas where the remaining plant and animal species could take root and create self-sustaining ecosystems. Yes, like the ones destroyed. It was ironic that the places most suited to this were the volcanic...

The mammoth death

  In the Siberian plains Mammoths had been hunted for long. But something else was going on with the Inushi. They had figured out that it was better to have these large animals as partners than on plates. The impact of this was felt quickly. They were able to dominate all local tribes and their own population grew rapidly. The Inushi were as intelligent as they were ruthless. They had figured out ways to trick nature.  From every batch of mammoths, they selectively culled the males keeping only the most docile and co-operative ones. The females were all allowed to breed and were even captured from the wild from the breeding program.  They had extended the same trick to humans. When a new tribe was subdued all males were killed and females distributed among the men to increase their population. But trouble was brewing. The Mammoth population was not able to keep up with the human population. Recently the rate of stillbirths too was increasing among the Mammoths. Aspiration...

The twin shall never meet

  A strange girl has walked into the fortified village. Her green eyes are red and swollen, apparently due to excessive crying. A crowd has gathered to witness the strange creature. Some are confused, some scared, who is this person or more aptly what is this person.  She has white skin like the slaves but green eyes like those of the masters! The masters were aghast at the sight! The gods shouldnt allow this! Their slaves cowering behind them were only shocked! ‘You witch! How have you done this?’ asked the old shaman. ‘Why did the guards not stop you from entering!’ she thundered. ‘Why would the guards stop me? Any person with magical eyes can enter and go as per their will. Isn't that the rule? ‘ the girl said in a calm voice. She was barely 16 and wearing a fur robe. Her sleeves intentionally lifted to expose her arms - that weren’t brown! ‘Everyone knows that magical eyes can show up only in the ones descended from earth, not the ones descended from snow!’ the lady shaman...
