In a vast cavern underground, filled with floating stones and lit by a thousand fireflies, the Queen of a nameless planet sentences a man, known only as the 'Traveler' to death for her world's gravest of crimes: visiting. His one allowance? He is to choose the manner of his execution and his burial. He chooses poison, slow-acting, and asks leave to tell his story. One of many worlds, witnessing many deaths, and many funerals. One of a man whose whole life is spent in pursuit of the perfect way to die, a quest that takes him far beyond anything he could possibly imagine. Every day, there are a thousand invisible funerals, a thousand insignificant burials. And in his death, the Traveler chooses to shine a light where many would rather not look. And all are changed by it. This started out as an exercise written in the style of Italo Calvino's Invisible Cities, but in the course of writing became something both more and less than that wonderful book. And despite my best instincts I'm proud of it, please take a look.
