“Is that a joke?” Jack points to the last sentence of Deondra’s bio.

“I don’t think so.” I grimace at the thought of being approached by someone with an ax, and quickly change the subject. “Speaking about crimes, have you heard anything else about what Clyde did at the gas station?”

“No, thank God.” He points to the right side of the pamphlet. “What’s this section about?”

When I read the title, my adrenaline starts to flow. “Yes! This is exactly what we need!” I put the sheet between us so we can both read, and then dive in, ready to devour the words as quickly as possible, when Jack stops me.

“Better read it out loud to me,” he says, sighing. “I don’t want Asshole to know any more than he has to.”

“Right.” I whisper the entire page to Jack, not stopping until I’m finished.

CO-HABITATION THEORY

(Will remain in place until proven otherwise)

According to our medieval pastoral forefathers, when humans die, a guardian comes to escort them to one of two resting places: heaven or limbo. Souls going to heaven immediately begin eternal rest, but those in limbo, known heretofore as LIMBOTIC SOULS, do not.

Limbotic Souls remain asleep until their fate is resolved, or until the end of time, whichever occurs first. IF, however, a Limbotic Soul is awakened (through conjuring, séance, witchcraft, or exhumation), they return to Earth and may attempt to rush in and occupy the nearest living human, or SAPIEN. Sapiens can easily prevent Limbotic Souls from entry UNLESS they are compromised in some way, e.g., in a coma, unconscious, anesthetized, or in rare cases, through blood-to-blood contact.

If the Limbotic Soul does not successfully locate a Sapien in a compromised state, he or she will wander the Earth until their fate is decided. Limbotic Souls who are awake but without a bodily residence are commonly referred to as GHOSTS. In the rare occasion that they successfully overtake a compromised Sapien, both souls share a body, rendering them each HALF-DEAD.

Half-deads remain that way until the end of the Sapien’s natural life. If the Sapien regains consciousness, each of the cohabitating souls will exert varying amounts of control on the physical body, depending on the strengths and weaknesses of the two individuals involved. Thus, half-dead embodiment differs widely from person to person.
