Sentient corporeal beings in different worlds share the conviction they are not alone. They believe gods watch over and move amongst them during a phase of existence that prepares them for something else. Post-corporeal beings on the other hand know gods exist and are equally aware they are no longer participants in the mortal coil. This is a humorous story set against the background of the English city Doon-on-Theme that tells of interactions between corporeals, post-corporeals and benevolent gods.
