    About this ebook

    Odelin is the personification of the “Ordinary”, except for her drinking, smoking and pill popping habit which she counts on to numb her feelings about her purposeless life. This is until she is met with an accident during one of her drunken sprees which puts her in a coma for a few days, during which time she is apprenticed under a friend from the spiritual realm, who shows her the bigger picture behind the curtain, and that not knowing her purpose is not the same as not having one.
    But by the time Odelin wakes from her ordeal, she has, as per the grand design, forgotten it all once again.
    How is it that someone like her is in fact a most extraordinary being? How is she linked to the experiment that is designed to accelerate the raising of the human consciousness? Most important of all, if she wakes up and has no recollection of her journey during her coma, or imagines that it is all a dream, who is going to convince her otherwise?
    This is a short story that will leave you thinking for a long time; a subtle tale that illustrates the complexity of life and an intricate fable that helps us uncover the simple truth to our existence.

      How is it that someone like her is in fact a most extraordinary being? How is she linked to the experiment that is designed to accelerate the raising of the human consciousness?

      Chapter 1

      A Kind of Beginning

      "Will someone get me a glass of wine…"

      The barman glanced over at the woman seated on the stool, her elbows perched on the cusp of the bar top and the three and a half feet drop to the floor, and noticed that he had never noticed her before. It wasn’t a particularly busy day or time of the day, and the barman was intrigued because he had considered himself usually observant. As a barman he used to see all sorts - those who stood out even to the most ardently self-centred, those who worked hard to maintain a low profile, which only made them that much more conspicuous; then there were those whose natural talent it was to simply be immune to the radar screen. It was as if they were effortlessly ordinary, the black swan to the cliché that everyone was special, everyone was unique.

      The barman was able to engage in these kinds of mind occupation because he had spare capacity in that area. He wasn’t any more intelligent than the next person, it’s just that his years of experience had enabled him to bypass his conscious intervention in most cases when it came to serving drinks in a bar. It wasn’t the kind of place that served fancy cocktails, more often than not the entire evening was no more sophisticated than a Vodka Lime and a Bloody Mary.

      He looked at the woman again while instinctually sliding a standard wine glass off a rack from above his head and retrieving a nondescript bottle from a refrigerator at his knee level. He hadn’t bothered asking if she had wanted a Chardonnay, Merlot or a Zinfandel; something in her voice made him believe that it wasn’t going to matter. At least he had noticed that much. He consoled himself further by realising just how ordinary she really was. She was within earshot and at that distance, she looked to be anything from mid-twenties to late thirties; if her facial features were a food, it would have been a standard, garden variety potato, he
