The World of the Dead (A Version of It At Least)

They used the subtle knife to get here, and now, it's really starting to look like the Greeks version, only more boring and worst.

First, your 'death' has been with you this whole time, and will eventually lead you to this place. that has to be the creeepiest thing ever, but also quite peaceful really. Creepy, because it's your death and it's standing there next to you, waiting for you to die so it can take you away. Not a pretty mental image. But the book says they're like shadow people, only nice, gentle, and with voices. It says you can see them, but only if you don't mind having death around and accept that it happens, no big deal (which very few people bother thinking like, so apparently we don't see them much). Other wise they'll stay out of sight, just watching and caring for you. Major shivers there, you know?

Then, you take a boat piloted by a creepy old guy to the dead side, where you stand around for eternity and are bored out of your minds, just like the Greek myths say. They need to copyright those or something; everyone is using their ideas in books and stuff! Seriously!

And to top that off, there are harpies running around tormenting and yelling at people, hurting them, and just plain terrifying them. I mean really, let's bring some originality in here, yeah? And they don't have to freak them all out, just being there would be fine, thank you.

Oh well, I'll go read some more Greek myths and get back to you later.
