Heavy and Black are the Books of the Dead, stretching away on the endless shelves. Advancing slowly, filling the space with their morbid record. How long till we are merely a page in a book

>>I also found out that there was a James A R Fraser born in Scotland the same year as me.
Heh, yeah, because it's such an uncommon Scottish name... :P
>>there were a few sad cases where people died very young, I didn't like that.
Yeah, dealing with death is quite inoffensive until you realise that young people die too. This is what hit me hardest working for the Funeral Directors- thankfully I wasn't actually involved with the funeral of anyone younger than 50, but coming across tiny 3ft long coffins in the back room was somewhat of a wake-up call. :/
Well, there were three James Frasers, but I though it was a bit strange to get the same middle initials as me too (although the names were different, would have been really freaked if they were the same).
Yeah, I had to go through quite a few death certificates and there were only really two that were young, one eighteen year old girl who died in a car crash and a baby that only lived for ten hours. That sort of work doesn't involve me thinking much, so my mind finds other things to do, those sort of things are not the type of ideas I want to feed my already over-active imagination at the moment. Good thing it doesn't come up too often.
I like the idea of you as the keeper of some old arcane library with hidden and powerfull knowledge :-) I can just see you with long offical robes and a staff :-)
