Summary
The chiseled statue towering over you is stark naked but for a sweeping cloak, frozen dramatically mid-billow. One arm is swept to a side, the other hand rested on the pommel of a Caledfwlch mounted deep in its engraved stone pedestal. Ironically, the strange jutting form of your stupid egg sword is the one thing they managed to accurately reproduce. Its eyes are cavernous sockets, bleeding slick liquid upwards over your forehead, and you have a feeling that had the artist put color to their work, those antigravity dribbles wouldn't be red.
Four teenagers find themselves back on Earth after their untimely deaths. It isn't exactly as they remember.
Prequel to You Are a Refugee From an Omnicidal Empire, but can be read standalone.

Summary
The curtains part on Earth C, five years after the return of its gods. Behind them, to the audience’s dismay, lies the dead body of someone who was supposed to be immortal, and you have no idea what that means. Jane Crocker is gone, and all the smiles suddenly look a whole lot faker.
It's a story as old as time, really: Investigation, revolution, grief, regret, powers beyond comprehension and mysteries beyond the veil. Too many things swept under the rug and anxiously ignored. You know what they say:
It takes a village to kill a god.

Still, she needed to start somewhere. “All of my friends are breaking under the strain of everything they’ve gone through these past few years, and I’m the only one who can hold them together, but I think I might be breaking too, and I don’t know how much longer I can do this.”
