It's like that story about the guy who woke up as a cockroach. Or the guy who stepped into the quantum accelerator and vanished. Except Walton Kemp's body didn't vanish; it slumped to the ground, an empty husk, heart stopped and eyes bulging in surprise. The medical examiner commented to his assistant that he'd never seen a corpse look so

I can see this going places, yes...

This is definitely a very intriguing opening.

Well, it certainly makes me want to know what happens next, which is pretty much the job of a good writer, IMO...

You should watch Drop Dead Diva sometime. :)

I love it. It has all this emotion and strangeness, and then that spark of *context* right at the end.
