I am thinking, that if chance were to take my life.
And I was offered one last chance
To rewind Time:
They would give me the life of someone who had committed suicide.
Because my life had been taken by chance,
and his by choice,
They could undo his but not mine.

Would I take it?

Why can they undo his life?
Why can't they undo your life?
Life is strange. Who are they? Jesus en je zus?

Chance takes yours through the passing of time but his time hadn't run out yet and his clock is still ticking.

Leila, I had to re-read this like three or four times. First it scared me and made me think you were suicidal-wrong. Now I catch it. If you get the chance to switch places with someone else, You being person 1 and they being person 2. Person 1 dies by chance and Person 2 dies by suicide. After death if given the choice to be them would you switch places. I am not sure but one thought if you really believe that all suicides go to hell is that it would be nice to trade. You would give them some chance and redemption and also save the grief of their family without having to lose as much yourself. It could also be interpreted as selfish, but I like to think we could choose to be reborn if we wanted to once life is over.

Siegfried- He took his by choice, and yours was taken by chance.

They are just rules I made up!!
They... the grim reaper?

Walker - exactly

chris - no, far from suicidal :)
I know, it wasn't elegantly put but it had been bothering me and I had to find some way to externalise the question..!


After death, you are given the choice, die forever in blackness and nothingness, or they will revive the suicidal guy and put you in his body. They can't do the sanme for you.

Guess it depends on how strong you consider yourself to be.

Oh and you aren't allowed to opt out by killing yourself either, unsaid rule!

I think that's pretty much what happened to me.
