The Everwild: The unexplored, uncharted, and mostly dangerous regions of Everlost.įleshie: A skinjacker slang term for a living, breathing human being. Such is the nature of eversight.Įverslugs: You may have discovered a time-worn coin in your pocket when you awoke in Everlost. Only the things and places that have crossed into Everlost appear bright, solid, and clear to us. Even the colors of the living world are subdued.
I advise you to stay away from fortune cookies as if they carry the plague.Įversight: We Afterlights can see the living world, but it looks blurry and out of focus to us. Any ecto-ripper sighting should be reported to an authority.Įvercookies: Certain individuals (whose names I shall not mention) claim that all Chinese fortune cookies cross into Everlost, and if that’s not enough, they also insist that every fortune in Everlost is true. “Ecto-ripping” or “ripping” is the ability to reach into the living world, and rip things out of it, and into Everlost. You can read more about this in my upcoming book The Living World and Other Myths, as Told by Mary Hightower.Įcto-ripping: One of the criminal arts, as I like to call them. Therefore, it is my opinion that Everlost is more real. In most cases these spots are just a few feet wide, and mark the place where someone has died however, in certain instances deadspots can include larger areas.ĭominant reality: When a building is destroyed, and crosses into Everlost, and a new structure is built in the living world to take its place, which of those buildings is more real? To us in Everlost, the older, “crossed” building is the one we see.

As it is impossible to feel physical pain in Everlost, certain evil entities, such as the McGill will chime their prisoners in an attempt to induce long-term boredom.Ĭhiming chamber: A place where such unfortunate afterlights are chimed.ĭeadspot: This is a small patch of ground that has crossed from the living world into Everlost. Of course some shine more brightly than others.Īfterlight: All residents of Everlost are properly referred to as “Afterlights.” To call us ghosts is insulting.Ĭhime: To hang one’s captives upside down by their ankles from long ropes, allowing them to swing free. Naturally I’ve included my own personal opinions as well, for what list would be complete without the wisdom of someone who knows? Thank you, and I look forward to meeting you very, very soon.Īfterglow: This is the gentle light that all spirits in Everlost generate. For new arrivals, I am happy to provide a comprehensive list of everterms and definitions that may help you in your postmortal journey.
