Unwanted Storytelling

You don’t want to hear my story.

My job was to go through donations to the library and make notes so the librarians could decide what to do with them.

And then one book came in, small, cheaply printed. Was about rituals to extend one’s life. I thought it was a joke, but I never have enough time, so I tried it out.

And it worked, sort of. I now get an extra year’s lifespan every time I take ten years off someone else, which I do whenever they hear this story.

Told you you didn’t want to hear it.
