First time I died I woke up at m'own funeral several days later. I was confused and I ached. I didn' know what had happened. But I also so very scared, probably more so than all my family members that were starin' at me. Only thing I could do was run away, no' an easy task right after bein' dead.

I was twelve...an' after something like that y'kinda stop lumpin' y'self in wi' humans.
