REVELATION: Book One of THE RECARN CHRONICLES Read Online Free PDF

But not today, my friend. You have to keep
living for at least 25 years more – hopefully many more than
that.”
    Aaron breathed an audible
sigh of relief.
    “This is the beginning of
the proof that reincarnation is a scientific fact. That’s what
you’ve been seeking isn’t it?”
    Aaron nodded.
    “Now, I don’t want you to
react badly to what I’m about to tell you. You are in no danger
whatsoever. The only danger that you could possibly be in regarding
today’s episode is if you try to open that safe. Then they’ll be
scraping you off the trees. You were blindfolded and the route
varied to prevent you from finding the safe again. I don’t
recommend you try to do so because it’ll compromise the proof that
I’m going to provide you with. I’m relying on your scientific
curiosity to do the right thing. If you don’t, you lose your
proof.”
    There was no real point in
trying to open the safe anyway. Aaron already knew what was
inside.
    “This is the really
important bit, Aaron. When I tell you to face away from me, you
must do so without question.”
    Aaron’s nervousness
returned. It sounded like he was going to be shot, execution style
in the back of the head.
    “Are you sure you’re not
going to kill me?”
    “Yes, of course I’m sure.
I’m going to kill myself.”
    “What? Did I hear you right?
You’re going to kill yourself?”
    “Yes. It’s not such a big
deal. The reason I want you to turn around when I tell you to, is
that I don’t think you really want to see me put a bullet through
my head. But it’s important that you check my body afterwards to
confirm to you that I am indeed dead. Can you do that? It’s
critical for the proof of reincarnation.”
    Aaron didn’t like the idea
of even looking at a dead body, let alone checking that it was
indeed a corpse.
    “Aaron?”
    “Um yes. OK. I’ll check the
body.”
    Jake passed him a pair of
surgical gloves.
    “Put these latex gloves on
then. I don’t want your fingerprints to show up on the body. That’d
cause no end of problems.”
    Aaron slid his hands into
the gloves.
    “I’ll take them with me when
I leave.”
    “I’m going to be your proof
of reincarnation, Aaron. Remember, I’m a Recarn.”
    “You really remember your
past lives?”
    “ Yes. Each and every one.
Now, what will happen next is that in twenty five years,
specifically on 15 th May 2015, I’m going
to pay you a visit. You won’t recognise me. I have no idea what
I’ll look like. White, black, man, woman, fat, thin, tall, short,
bald, hairy. Hopefully not bald. I’ll only be in my mid-twenties
after all. I have no idea. But because I’m a Recarn. I’ll remember
the location of the safe and – more importantly – the combination
of the safe. What was the combination of colours and numbers that
the dice showed? I know. I just want to check that you
remember.”
    “Red, five. Blue, three.
Yellow, six. Green, five. Black, one. White, four.”
    “Good.”
    “I have a question, Jake.
How will I know it’s you?”
    “What’s my name?”
    “Jake Griffiths.”
    “That’s how you’ll know it’s
me. I’ll identify myself by that name. Plus… think of a code word.”
“Rembrandt.”
    “Why Rembrandt?”
    “Why not?”
    “Okay. Rembrandt it is. Now
pay particular attention to this part. You must not tell anyone,
anyone at all, not even your wife – if and when you get one - about
what happened here today. We are trusting that your scientific
integrity and curiosity will keep you on the straight and narrow.
I’d like to think that that would be enough to convince you to wait
the twenty-five years but a consensus was agreed upon that if you
disclose these plans to anyone else drastic measures will need to
be taken; we will take you and your closest family members –
perhaps children that you haven’t even had yet – to the locations
of the safes. There we will enter the incorrect combination and
blow you and your families into smithereens. Of
