I could never be an editor. I can see and correct mistakes, but I would also think of ways to make the story more refreshing. Then pretty soon I'm adding little woodland creatures and perhaps a small cottage at the base of a tree. Next thing you know, your dystopian sci-fi has twisted into OOPS! Now there's a dead body.

Dead Mona by D. J. Runnels Supernatural Mystery Satire
Mona Hardesty ends up dead after the third wife of her ex-husband gets her fired. When she lands in the afterlife, she's greeted by an airhead with the IQ of a marshmallow--no offense to marshmallows--then interrogated in a concrete cell by a drill sergeant. Mona must pass this process before anyone will investigate her murder. Seriously?!
What part of her ex being a Charles Manson clone do they fail to grasp? Fine. Mona relives her life from 1950-1986, against a backdrop of multiple U.S. political assassinations, the Vietnam War and hippies burning draft cards. So many problems in the world, yet she is denied the chance to marry the boy she loved because of different religions.
After Mona's story spirals into the urban decay of a hippie enclave in Chicago, they finally put her on a waiting list a mile long. Oh, that will not fly with Mona. She sees now the afterlife is a bureaucratic trap of bribery and illusion in a dimension where time doesn't exist. So she demands to speak to a manager and will even do lunch with God if she has to. Somebody's gotta pay for her murder.

People who have near-death experiences often describe seeing a light at the end of a tunnel.
Perhaps they're on the operating table and they can hear the medical staff talking about them.
"More suction, nurse."
"Doctor, we're losing her."
"Administer 50cc of ozone."
Then some machine in the corner starts going beep-beep-beep.
Next the patient is floating on the ceiling and watching a guy put paddles on her chest and she's thinking, "Hey, don't get handsy with my body there, dude." And a nurse is shouting, "CLEAR!"

A tomb resides in my heart
Filled with wounds
Which I canβt part
The lid is heavy
Itβs hard to shift
All I want to do is forgive
But the tomb weighs me down
Leaving me breathless
As more wounds move in

About the author and their books:
(There is a portrait of me with anime blush lines, a happy yellow sun)
My name is Rebecca E. Reyes and I am an author, artist, parent, and I have a great sense of humor, especially in regards to my autism in my mid 30's.
This portrait doesn't set the tone in my books, but it does reflect me when I feel cute (2 years ago).
Right now I have my acne from when I was 15...
All four of my books in both my book series with descriptions.
