The Soul Escort

Twenty-four years ago, on his way home, my grandfather found a woman’s corpse blocking the road. A song to summon souls blew me out of a snowdrift. Twelve years ago, on my first zodiac year, Heaven and Earth came to claim my life, and the beasts offered up their souls. Only then did my grandfather take my life back from death. This year marks my second zodiac year. My grandfather traded his life for mine and saved me. How am I supposed to face the road ahead? When my next zodiac year comes, who will save me?
