[ WP ] The human body fights tooth and nail to stay alive , because it knows something we dont about the other side . And today you find out what that is .

Until you die, it's impossible to know the magnitude of the matter. Schools teach of bacteria in the body, of blood cells and skin cells and brain cells - every part of the human body is a small piece of life. 
 
 The thing is, they're all more than alive. They have minds of their own, and it's in the afterlife that they all get the opportunity to have a say. 
 
 See, it turns out there is in fact an afterlife. It's a very crowded place, to say the least, because while everything is the same size, literally every piece of individual life that has at some point existed ends up here. With an equal voice. 
 
 They say romantic things about democracy; just wait until your hair gets to outvote you. It is equal parts disturbing and amusing. 
 
 We are worlds in our own right - they tell me strange stories, the friends that used to be my blood cells. The warriors of the immune system tell grand tales of conquest, while the reds tell of their supply chains and proud efficiency. All the brain cells want to do is network with each other. It's a society in itself, built on stories and perspective. But it's crowded enough and all the voices talk at the same time at the same volume everywhere. On average it takes a year of subjective time to go fully insane. For the rest of existence, that is. 
 
 It's really quite odd. We stay alive to hold onto our sentience. Our bodies do the same to avoid it.
