What Tarot Card Are You?

Death

A cheery woman’s voice chimes from above. "Game over! Please restart and try again." The old woman holds a baby in her arms and makes to pass it to you. Will you take it?

Where will you go when you die?

you go to the shore.

you reach the afterlife already standing, feet half-buried in the shifting sand, the stars wheeling overhead. one foot is planted in seawater, and one on the sand. The shore is empty, as far as you can tell, just endless stretches of dark sea and tide, dunes and starlight. the horizon is distant, if there is a horizon, and the air is clear. eventually you pick a direction and start walking. the sun comes up, and you keep walking, and your feet never hurt, and you never get hungry, and you never get tired. you find other people who are also walking, and you walk together. you find strange landmarks, stone and bone and wood, relics from other adventurers. you find deep pools. you write your name in charcoal on the vast ribs of a creature unimaginably large. you tell stories. you sing. eventually, though, you always end up walking on. you have infinite freedom, but what are you searching for? what will you do when you find it?
