The Forgetting Time

About this ebook
What happens after we die has been a question since mankind first was able to formulate thought. We evolved by making sense of our sounding environment. We observed everything, probably at a deeper level than most of us do today. Yet when it came to death, we could not observe what came next. We had to speculate, and in the process we developed theories and beliefs. To this day, we still do not know what comes next. For many, the obsession is as strong as it was in our early ancestors.
The Forgetting Time is a short speculative fiction about the great unknown. For Bob Elliott, the mystery of the unknown was about to be revealed.
Bob worked for 30 years at the same desk in the same small cube, for a large, mostly faceless organization, he counted the days until his retirement party. In fact, his only real passion for going to work was to scratch off one more date on his calendar.
When he realized that he had died at work, and was sprawled out over his computer keyboard, he decided there was no way in Hell he was staying until five o’clock. Instead, he left his cube to take the first step into the unknown.
Death was not the end of the journey, it was the beginning of something he never expected. With the help of Ike, his soul guide, Bob now must decide what he wants to do next. In the process, he learns that there is more to death than Heaven and Hell.
The Forgetting Time, a short story about the twenty-four hours after death, from Orville Burch, is a new addition to the mold of great speculative fiction from Stephen King, Rayne Hall, and Tracie McBride.
