There were a few...slip ups, you might say, that you made during your former life. Nothing major. But...it seems the higher ups aren’t convinced you learned from your mistakes...”Astra held her breath in anticipation. “...so they’ve decided...to...uh...there’s really no easy way to say this. You are to be re-born as a...”“As a what!?” “...as a...”“Go on!” “...as...”“Just say it!” “...a...”“WHAT!?” “...”“Dammit! Just @*#!ing tell me!” “Okay, okay. You are to reborn as a foot fungus that grows on one of my alternate incarnations. There. I’m sorry. It really won’t be so bad. That version of Fred may even wash his feet once in awhile, and then you’ll be able to move up in the life following that one. Y’know? It can only go up from there.”
