They’re wrong when they say that your whole life flashes before your eyes when
you die. It’s true of some, but there’s usually no time for it. I know, the
word flash implies rapidity, but really, if the thoughts are moving that fast
through your brain, then you’re not really seeing anything. I know, some
people do die slowly. Most people will just be awake one minute, and not awake
the next. Now, when this happens, if they get the sense that their life is
ending, something will cross their mind. It may be more of a general memory of
who they were, or what they went through. It might be a defining moment in
their lives. It could simply be about the circumstances that’s getting them
killed. That’s what I’ve been relating to you for the last several weeks. All
the people destined to be the first to die in 2022 are finishing this journey
in different ways, and for different reasons. Most of them will have time to
come up with one story that they can send to me a few hours in the past—to
before it actually happens—but one of them didn’t make it. I’m not sure what
happens to her, but it must have been incredibly sudden, with absolutely no
warning. No sensation of danger, no concern for her life. I got the message;
she’s going to die, but sadly, I don’t know how, and I don’t know who she was.

- About Me
My name is Nick Fisherman III. It's not my real name, but that's not because I'm trying to hide from my former agency, or something. I named myself after someone I've known for most of my life, and he chose it in honor of his late best friend. I took up writing when I found myself failing 8th grade science, and realized I might never reach my dream of becoming a biochemist, a meteorologist, and a quantum physicist. I started developing my canon after a scouting trip to an island inspired what I thought would be my first novel. I founded this website upon the advice of many people, who told me I needed to get my work out there, and not wait for an agent to accept my manuscript. You can expect one new story every day. Weekdays are for microstories, which are one or two paragraphs long. They're usually only thematically linked, so you won't have to read one to understand another, but they do sometimes tell a combined story. Sundays are for my continuous longer story, The Advancement of Mateo Matic, which I started in the beginning, and won't end until 2066. Saturdays are for long series, most of which take place in the same universe as Mateo, and add to the larger mythology.
