Good News for People Who Like Bad News

Dear False Positive Readers,
This is Ashley Walton, Mikeās sister and editor of False Positive. I have really terrible, awful news and a tiny bit of good news.
You might have noticed itās been a couple years since weāve posted anything on this website. Well, brace yourself for the saddest update Iāll ever share.
Y’know, I’ve been coming to this by going to Page One and clicking on the “latest” arrow. This morning it’s something else.
A site redesign, or did I just stumble on something I’ve been missing all this time?
Redesigned the landing page.
Oh, I approve of the change–I’ve wanted entry to this in a better way, but couldn’t figure out how to to it. (And I was sick of looking at Volume One Page One, too.)
Aha! Booyah!
Just thinking: it would be terrifying to be ‘immortal’ in this way. We can read this story and think the guy is disturbing and powerful, but if you imagine actually being him this wouldn’t be so great. He’s about 40-ish whenever it is that he’s decided he needs to respawn, and every time he does it he has to waste 16 years or so masquerading as an ordinary child but with his adult mind. Every time he gets sick, there’d be a panic in his mind that his chain was going to get broken, whereas we ordinary mortals don’t have to worry about that since this is the only shot we have.
I’d have too much fun for the first few, and then get bored eventually, I’m sure. But hey–once it just becomes second-nature, what’s another 16 years?
No that is actually a good thing. The older we get the more we get out of touch with what is new, like new technology, new political views ect. While the years before you go to school might be annoying, you’d be forced to learn new things and have the chance to try out new stuff. Otherwise you’d have to realize one day that beeing a pest doctor is not a profession that feeds you anymore in the 25th century, or something like that.

That’s certainly true. But we have an existence that’s built on the fact that we only get one shot and most of us don’t know quite when it’s going to end, so we cope with it by forgetting about death and impermanence until we’re forced to face it. This man’s existence is built on the mechanism of his immortality, so he can never turn away from death. He’s haunted by it constantly. To get hit by a bus is not simply to die, but to fail at staying alive. It would be a terrible stress, I think.
IDK, is he fully self aware of the fact that he’s a reincarnated skinwalker when he’s a kid?
Because that would make the infant stage awkward.
Now I’ve read the next page… hmm. Maybe I’d jumped to conclusions about this being about hopping from human life to human life!
Finally a much better navigation page on the front page. The last one sucked a zombies ass.
It would be really nice if the landing page had some indication of when the last update was posted š
You guys don’t use the RSS feed? I don’t even see the landing page anymore.
Is it me or did that baby loose his/her
(no identifieable genitalia shown as of yet, probably on purpose)
full mop of black hair since birth?
Talk about early onset allopecy!
Cuddos on the redesigned landing page – much better this way IMHO.
I think s/he just had their hair dry out. Was dark when covered in uterine goop, looks finer now that’s dry.
2 babies.
Ha, In fact I missed the fact that its a twin birth – just now noticed that from comments.
I can hear Stewie’s voice “Victory is mine!”
TWINS! š
OH! She gave birth to a Targaryen! Can’t tell if they should name the baby “Daenerys” or “Rhaegar”.
…definitely NOT “Viserys”…
And they had TWINS!!!!
This ladies and gents is how an indigo child is conceived!
