THE HONEY SEALERS … a wip by lau c.

— taglist (ask to be -/+) … psd by @castoraphics 

Imelda once asked me if I ever felt afraid of my connection to the Afterlife; if I ever tossed and turned at night thinking of my own mortality, my own finality. I said I had never, because the spark of humanity is never completely extinguished. Light and laughter carries on with the soul, memory keeps one alive even after death. And how scary could it be, really, to cross from one threshold to the next just as billions before I have done? Death is the sole constant of life, so it has been since the first moments of consciousness, and so it shall be until the last. It is not death that scares me, it is what comes after it.
