Lake Lewisia #664

[scrubjayspeaks]

She came from the old school of thought on the matter of immortality, so every thirty years or so, when people began to notice how well-preserved she looked, she started over. Systematically, she sold off or gave away the contents of her home, her personal effects, down to everything but the last set of clothes on her back, and those she traded away in a thrift store for something new. The ritual made a clean break easier to bear, and there was a certain weightless joy in beginning again in a new place with no burdens.
