The Choice of the Soul. Content Warning.
Dr. Lynsey Aldred was the first person to map the soul. Not metaphorically, literally. Through a miracle of quantum neurology and deep-conscious resonance imaging, she traced what she called the Soul's Echo Vector. A measurable wave signature that escapes the brain at the moment of death. It was no more than a flicker at first, a blip across the screens. But, Lynsey followed it through data, repetition, pattern, and noise.

The Most Magical Moment
I am sitting here, crossed legged like they teach me at school. My body tingling with excitement and fascination as I stare in wonder at the man in front reading his favourite story. Each year my dad brings me here. He said it was because I was a very special boy and that I had been really good throughout the whole year. There were a few other children sat around. They must have been very good as well and each one had a smile just as big as mine (but mine must have been the brightest as the man looked up from his book and smiled right at me).
