Kindly join me in imagining that, contrary to the popular saying, you can take a limited number of personal possessions with you to the afterlife. What 5 things do you take with you?
No details are available at this time of what the afterlife is like or whether said objects will be any use to you there
Money in a single currency counts as 1 possession
You are not under any circumstances permitted to bring the complete works of Shakespeare with you. Or even the partial ones, for that matter.
For me I’m going to bring:
My e-reader loaded with all my favourites and my huge list of unreads
Media player loaded with as much music as I can fit on it in 96kbps mp3
Bluetooth speaker
Solar charger to keep all of the above topped up
My glasses (with the magnetic sunglasses attachment)
Of course, if it turns out I’m in everlasting darkness then none of that will be any use for very long, but it’ll help take the edge off the first day or two of it at least.
Listen, if you all hate the idea of the bluetooth speaker so much, I’ll replace that and the media player with my phone instead: that gives me one extra possession to bring with me if I just play everything through the phone speaker.
