Inspired by the incredibly talented @wolfie post "Book Of Flaws" I hope you don't mind mate
I flicked through and found my name eventually in the index
I was a little confused as a few, not many, had explanation marks next to them
Mine included which made me think: why am I different and single out with a seemingly select few?
Then I browsed at the information key for some kind of clue
To my surprise and horror it indicates death
But how could this be as I wasn't quite ready yet?
I checked myself for signs of damage but found nothing obvious and had no memory of it
Something like death I'm sure I wouldn't forget
Come to think of it "what is this place?"
"How did I get here and why am I up on a stage?"
Everything is white as far as I can see but there is a light shining on my face
I shout "hello" with no reply and no echo, just white space
I continued to read and find my own page
The book reads like a diary but with moving images, like imbedded video
It's some weird kind of "paper?" And technology I don't know
I read and watch every where I've been and everyone I've known
Every emotion, thought and feeling I've ever had is here and my mind is blown
I'm reading my own life story and inner deep secrets that I've never told
I eventually calm myself and feel somewhat composed
As I watch my kids and I playing and laughing from memories of old
Then I suddenly have a thought and decide to turn to my last entry
I skip through many pages and glimpse at some lovely memories
A few hundred or so pages on and the rest of this vast thick book is empty
I flick back a few and there it is right in front of me
I'm kinda left bewildered, smiling but a little confused
The top of the last entry page says I died of word misuse
But at the bottom of the same page the last words simply read "to be continued......."
