The Rot Between Lives (An Existential Horror Thought)

Daniel Boyd Season 3 Episode 2

"The Rot Between Lives"

What if time isn't linear? What if we're trapped in bubbles, cycling through the same life, over and over, making different choices each time, never realizing we've done it all before? Now imagine this, when we die, our consciousness, still tethered to the decaying matter of our last body, compresses time, launching us into the next iteration instantly. But here's the problem, decay isn't just physical, it's existential. Each cycle, the remnants of who we were, bleed into the next, like a corrupted file degrading with every copy.

Maybe that's why some people are born with unexplained phobias, why déjà vu lingers like a whisper from something we almost remember. Maybe the ones who feel the most off aren't crazy, maybe they're just further along in the decay. And if that's true, if each existence is just another broken echo of the last, then the real question isn't where we go when we die, it's how much of us is even left to make the trip. 

Sweet dreams folks, may your next reboot be a little less corrupted.

The Rot Between Lives.

What if time isn’t linear? What if we’re trapped in bubbles, cycling through the same life over and over, making different choices each time—never realizing we’ve done it all before?

Now, imagine this: when we die, our consciousness, still tethered to the decaying matter of our last body, compresses time—launching us into the next iteration instantly. But here’s the problem… decay isn’t just physical. It’s existential.

Each cycle, the remnants of who we were bleed into the next, like a corrupted file degrading with every copy. Maybe that’s why some people are born with unexplainable phobias. Why déjà vu lingers like a whisper from something we almost remember. Maybe the ones who feel the most “off” aren’t crazy… maybe they’re just further along in the decay.

And if that’s true… if each existence is just another broken echo of the last… then the real question isn’t where we go when we die.

It’s how much of us is even left to make the trip.

Sweet dreams, folks. May your next reboot be a little less corrupted.
