NEW LIFE – A COMEDY ABOUT REINCARNATION

Tim, a pro at reincarnation has lived his most recent life and finds himself back in the offices at ‘New Life Industries’ and in front of his assigned officer, Sue, a typical bureaucrat who works there and has done for as long as Tim remembers. Weirdly, she doesn’t seem to remember him at all. But hey, Tim doesn’t mind, as long as she can send him on his way back to earth for his next life in this comedy about reincarnation.

Tim isn’t expecting there to be a glitch. After all, he has plenty of credits and he’s done this so many times, he’s a pro at it. Turns it, there is a glitch and the problem actually is that Tim’s a pro at this,. In fact. he’s been reincarnated so many times, he is no longer allowed to return to earth, and is given a choice – either return to THE VOID, or choose a new world.
