Being Born Again, is a series by, Gordon Phinn. He writes adventurous and exciting original stories based on his years of otherworldly and afterlife experiences and some of the people he came into contact with that were, Being Born Again.
“I see these stories, fictions employing my knowledge of afterlife conditions and my writer’s imagination, as examples of how individuals in spirit respond to their urgings to either stay in paradise or return to the challenges of earth life, whether they believe in reincarnation or not. The variety of responses and paths followed are, and should be, as many as exist on earth. I doubt, in fact, that I could cover them all, but in the months ahead I shall, hopefully, render a sufficiently wide sample to convey what I perceive as the complexity of the situation.”
~ Gordon Phinn
Nobody Saw Me
For months no-one saw me but the dog. Not the wife, not the kids, not the live-in grandmother.
All The Options
The options: that was something I never considered on my way here. I knew there was a destination, but I never gave it much thought. Grandfather Bill had come across after he passed, and his presence was unmistakable.
All That Stuff
I never was much for possessions. I was always trying to unload them, simplify my life by lightening the load. Long before that zen-like simplicity thing became trendy I had a flat with one couch, one table, two chairs, a bed and a chest of drawers. Once in a while I’d buy flowers for the table.
Trouble in Paradise
I sit here, sipping a beer in my garden at the back of the cottage, a virtual replica of the one I had on earth, and gaze over the dales rolling off into the distance. I loved Yorkshire, even it's stormy winter weather, but I never for a moment expected an even more sublime version was waiting for me here.
Waking Up To Walking In
Gordon Phinn has written another excellent story in his series: Being Born Again.
A Killer Dealt With Kindness
I’m not the kind of person you’d expect to see here. Bit of an anomaly really. Should have been in the other place, and I was for a while but I worked my way out. Bit of a bad boy to tell the truth. Monster to some. And I can see why. Could see even then. But admit it to myself, that took a while.
Drives Me Crazy
My mother didn’t take too well to my passing, a bit ugly for sure, nothing anyone would want to relish, but it was over in a flash, about thirty seconds of agony and then, whoosh, I was gone...
The Memories Remembering Me
That’s the ones you’d like to forget. The ones that eased your path from ambition to success. The ones that secured possessions and status. The ones that delivered partners, the ones that seemed so willing when your shine was bright and promising. The ones that cut some corners, the ones that etiquette could do without. The dispensable ones. The ones that could easily disappear in the daily charge to connection and convenience. Now it looks more like getting ahead while standing still. Or the spiral that really was a circle. Oh, how I deluded myself!
The Stroke That Saved My Life
It was only a stroke, but it took me away in seconds. Warnings, hints, little blips I should have paid attention to? Nada. I’d been for my morning walk and I felt a strange sensation as I gazed out the window and was wondering if a headache was coming on when suddenly everything was….gone. But I was there, in some dark nothingness. No sound, no smell, no breath...
My Husband Had Me Murdered
Shocking but true. Or maybe not so shocking. Happens all the time doesn’t it? Open the paper, read the news, check Twitter or whatever. It’d be more noticeable if he disemboweled me and fried the intestines for breakfast. But I was just disappeared with a plausible back up story. And they disappeared me in the best way: right out in the open, the mangled corpse, the wrecked car. My first funeral really.

Seeing The Map Before You Arrive
Like most maps it folds out and the more you pull it apart the more you see. Like any country or city anywhere there’s pockets of fascination on side streets and alleyways that main street would rather you’d ignore.
