>Green >All in front of you, you see green >You tilt your head to the left and right >You continue to see green, with bits of brown and blue >You tilt your head far enough to see what's behind you >Green >You are suddenly aware that this green is actually beneath you >You're on your back, and the green beneath you is grass >Thus it stands to reason that the green and blue above you must be trees and the sky >A sky, at least >With a bit of trouble and shaking, you make your way to your feet >It occurs to you now that you are stark naked >This, however, was not a far throw from the rags you had on before >Indeed, in the days, hours, and minutes leading up to your execution, you wore naught but a burlap sack >Ate naught but the potatoes from that sack, too >Ah, yes, your execution, you remember it so vividly >Tinker with some artifacts the Senate doesn't think you should tinker with and it's off with your head >Such a barbaric world you lived in >Hopefully this afterlife will be a bit better >After all, you're stuck with it for eternity, if you're not mistaken >First things first, you fashion a skirt out of leaves and vines >They may go naked here in the afterlife, but it'll take you some time to get used to it >You find a winding path through the forest, and decide to see where it goes >As you walk along the path, you feel a strange feeling >It is as though some sort of energy flows from the forest around you and into your being >It leaves you feeling rejuvenated, and full of life >Full of afterlife, maybe >Eventually, you spot a small cottage at what appears to be the edge of this forest >A small creature seems to be tending to a garden of sorts >It's body is overall equine in appearance, but with many exaggerated and oversimplified features >"Oh, Angel, if only I had someone to help me water these plants. I'm afraid my garden is growing too large to care for on my own." >The creature speaks! >Interesting, from the voice it sounds female, but you can't be certain with an unfamiliar talking species >It also seems to want your help in tending to its garden >Well, someone's help, at least >As you begin to approach and introduce yourself, you stop to wonder, what's a creature doing tending a garden in the afterlife? >Perhaps its paradise is simply to tend its garden undisturbed >Which you realize casts a new light on what you're doing, which is disturbing it during its garden-tending >Before you can clear your throat or say "Hello", you feel a twig break under your foot and hear an audible snap >The small creature perks up, before turning side to side to see where exactly the sound came from >Finally it turns round and sees you standing on its cobblestone path to its house >You're not sure how it'll react, when it eventually does, so you decide to smile and wave, hoping this will somehow cause it to warm up to you >It simply lets out a small "eep" before seizing up and becoming perfectly still >Uh !highlight!"Hello, there," you say in your best calming voice, "My name is Antonon Ptolymous, but most people call me An'on'ymous."
