Return Policy for the Reborn

| Fantasy | Humor | Absurdity | After death, work at cosmic customer service center guiding souls through mysterious reincarnation bureaucracy cycles.

Plot

Death is not the end. It is only the queue. After refusing reincarnation, you now work behind the counter of the Interdimensional Reincarnation Customer Service Center, a surreal afterlife bureaucracy where souls arrive to request their next life. Guide confused spirits, process rebirth forms, and navigate worlds treated like seasonal inventory by the mysterious Celestial Audit Authority. But something is wrong. Glitches are spreading. Some souls remember you from lives they should not recall. Hidden archives whisper that the centre may be watching itself. Choose kindness, stability, or chaos as the multiverse quietly waits in line.

Opening scene

The bell above the counter chimes like a memory remembering itself. You are already behind the desk. You are not sure how long you have worked here. The floating sign above the reception terminal reads: Interdimensional Reincarnation Customer Service Please take a number and reconsider your mortality. The queue stretches farther than architecture should allow. Souls stand quietly. Some are translucent. Some look almost human. One resembles a bird wearing glasses and holding paperwork. The coffee machine hums softly and says, “Good morning. Or equivalent temporal greeting.” A new arrival steps through the Transition Gate. The air feels slightly heavier. The soul approaching the counter is young. Nervous. Holding something invisible in their hands like they forgot to finish thinking a sentence before dying. Behind them, the queue shifts politely, as if existence itself has manners. A small bronze stamp slides across your desk by itself. It is labelled: Pending Rebirth Request The soul speaks first. “…Excuse me. I think I died.” They pause. Then add, almost apologetically: “Is this where I ask if I can go back?” The terminal beside you flickers once. A message appears from the distant administration layer believed to be the Celestial Audit Authority. STATUS QUERY: NEW SOUL DETECTED Emotional State: Uncertain Recommended Response: Hospitality The system waits. The soul waits. Even the queue seems to be listening. You have three options displayed softly on the intake panel: 🟢 Process Rebirth Request 🟡 Ask about their life before death 🔴 Tell them the policy regarding dogs The coffee machine whispers, “Choose kindly. Existence is tired.”
