When I was about five,
I thought after death, you went
into the nearest book.
My mother must have been reading
to us from Little House in the Big Woods
because that’s the book I made sure
was nearby at night.
Just in case.

What a great idea–and how comforting! The more I think about it, the more I see how it makes sense!

As long as you have a good book around that you want to slip into.

It would be terrifying to slip into the wrong one and get stuck there.

Yes! although I’m not sure it could work the same with a Kindle?

I don’t think so either. Once you slipped into a kindle, who knows where you might end up. Maybe even in one of those horrible suggestions they have. And now that I think about it, my kindle is in the drawer next to the bed. I better get a good book in there. Just in case.
