It was pretty interesting trying to get things across to the reader through the point-of-view of a character who *doesn't get it* :)

The title of the story is "Do While Rw Nw Prt M Hrw". The "do while" part is computer lingo to initiate a loop until certain conditions are met, and "rw nw prt m hrw" (and it is spelt that way) is the transliterated name for the original Egyptian book of the dead :)
