It came to pass that one day Kataryna Delilah Lemusu turned on her magivision and saw, with strange clarity, that children were dying of starvation, the lush rainforests were being pilferred and pirated, and violence ran rife on the streets. Specism, race riots, robberies… Murder. Nothing was pure anymore - nothing was clean.
And Kat grew very sad. The world was no longer a beautiful place, but a place of tragedy and despair. Depression descended on her in a wicked dark wave. This was not the world she wanted to live in.
So, she drew herself a nice warm bath, filled it up to the brim, and lowered herself naked into the heat. With one hand she took the razor-blade from the bathroom counter, and drew it across her wrist.
The pain was immense, but Kat could no longer manage, the world was a greater pain. She could bear a little pain - but not that, not the pain of living.
Swiftly the water ran red, and Kataryna Lemur passed from the world.
She was met in the afterlife by a god with the head of a canine.
"You have taken your own life, Kataryna Lemusu," he said, and his tone was very sad.
"Yes, the world is a terrible place, I could not cope anymore."
And Anubis took her chin in his hands, and drew her eyes to meet his. "What did you do for it?" He asked.
"What do you mean?" Kat was somewhat perplexed.
"What did you do to help save it?"
And Kat realised, with grim certainity, that she had done nothing. Not a thing. She had merely sat back, watched it, and then, in depression, taken her own life. "There is nothing that can be done, the world is dead."
"You are wrong," said Anubis. A tear trickled down his cheek and he caught it on his finger. Bringing his hand to Kat's face, he ran the tear-stained finger down her forehead. "One person can change things. Maybe not save the world, but one tear is scarcely alone, is it not?" He placed his hands on her shoulders. "Kataryna Lemusu, I am sending you back," he said. "And you will not be allowed to die until the world no longer needs help. This is your curse. If you sit back, and just do nothing, then you will be nothing. You must take action, for every teardrop counts."
And so Kataryna Lemusu was reborn - cursed to remain on Earth forever, until either it was saved or dead.
