00:00Welcome back to Tales of Unusual, stories for those who believe that death is not the end, and that every ending might just be a cruel beginning.

00:12Tonight's story is about reincarnation, but not the comforting kind you hope for.

00:18This is about a cycle that changes you each time, until what comes back isn't you at all.

00:25So settle in, and listen carefully. This is evolved reincarnation.

00:31Elliot was just another man, with an ordinary fear of dying.

00:36He worked a desk job, watered his plants, read books about past lives, to calm himself, when the panic crept in at night.

00:47He wanted to believe in karma, that we get another chance, that we get better.

00:52His grandmother once told him he'd been many things, a soldier, a poet, a thief.

00:59Each time, she said, his soul grew stronger, wiser.

01:04But Elliot wondered, what if reincarnation didn't make us better?

01:09What if it made us something else?

01:12One winter morning, Elliot never woke up.

01:15An undiagnosed aneurysm, they said.

01:19Quiet, quick.

01:20But Elliot's story, didn't end, in that cold apartment.

01:24His eyes opened again, in another life.

01:27A newborn, crying, under bright hospital lights.

01:31He knew his name wasn't Elliot anymore.

01:34But inside, something still remembered.

01:37As he grew, the memories came back, in flashes.

01:41Street corners, he'd never seen.

01:44Songs he shouldn't know, the words to.

01:47By ten, he drew diagrams, no child could understand.

01:52Spirals, symbols, pieces of old languages.

01:56At night, he whispered to himself, next time, will be different.

02:01He died again, at twenty-four.

02:03An accident, this time, a car, sliding on black ice.

02:08Again, he woke in a new body, crying out with lungs that weren't his, and the cycle went on.

02:15Each life, the memories piled up faster.

02:19He remembered everything, every name, every death, every mistake.

02:24But something else grew too.

02:27With each new form, his mind changed, sharper, but less, human.

02:32In his fifth life, he could hear people's thoughts in broken pieces.

02:38In his seventh, he could bend small objects with his mind when he dreamed.

02:44His soul wasn't just reborn, it was mutating.

02:48Elliot, or whatever he was now, stopped, fearing death.

02:53He started to wonder, where does this go?

02:56He found others like him, reincarnated minds behind calm faces.

03:01They recognized each other by the look in their eyes, the questions they didn't dare ask aloud.

03:09They whispered of the thread, the invisible chain that linked them.

03:13Some believed they were evolving for a purpose, that in the final life, they'd become something more.

03:20Others believed it was a curse, that they were drifting further from being human each time.

03:27Elliot didn't know which to hope for.

03:29In his tenth life, Elliot, now called Mara, found he could see glimpses of the next life, before dying.

03:38He saw the people he would become, the faces they would wear.

03:42He could steer them, shape them, before birth.

03:45He could plant memories, like seeds.

03:48He gathered the others, old souls wearing young bodies, and they planned.

03:54What if we could remember it all?

03:55What if we never forgot anything, again?

03:59They experimented.

04:01Secret rituals, coded mantras, patterns burned into their brains.

04:07When Mara died again, he didn't cry, as a newborn.

04:11He opened his eyes, and spoke a word, he shouldn't have known yet.

04:16Now, they call themselves, the continuum.

04:19They no longer live normal lives, no schools, no jobs, no families that last.

04:27They drift through bodies, like changing clothes, gathering knowledge, growing more alien each time.

04:35Some say they can live for decades, without aging.

04:39Some say they can step outside their bodies, altogether.

04:43They don't fear death anymore, they fear only one thing.

04:48What comes after the cycle ends?

04:51Because, when your soul has evolved so far, that it no longer needs a body.

04:58Where does it go, and what does it want?

05:00If you ever dream of other lives, if you ever wake with names that aren't yours on your tongue,

05:08maybe you repart of the continuum to, maybe the next time you blink, you'll remember everything you were,

05:15and everything you're becoming.

05:18So sleep well tonight.

05:19And if this is your last life, make it count, before you evolve into something that can't sleep,

05:27can't die, and can't ever stop remembering.
