The living story

The story so far

The Bridge of Helplessness over the River of Forgetfulness: the last crossing every soul makes, with Meng Po's tea stand at one end and rebirth at the other. The good cross on the gold bridge, the middling on the silver, the wicked on the narrow plank over the rapids. Everyone crosses. The bridge has never once been empty.

Happening now

Souls are crossing right now — gold, silver, and plank — while the river runs black and silent below. Meng Po is ladling at the near end. Nobody is turning back. Nobody ever turns back.

What may come

One day the last soul will cross — whichever bridge it earns — and the Naihe will stand empty over the silent river, and the mist will settle on the planks, and the bridge will finally rest. It has carried everyone. It will have earned the quiet.

Diyu

The ten Yama kings, the Black and White Impermanence, Judge Cui with his brush, Meng Po with her soup of forgetting. Justice here is thorough, the paperwork is eternal, and the bridge out is narrower than you remember.
