I Kill Myself to Come Back Faster

      This life is set somewhere in the British Isles.
      In my younger years, my father goes off to war and does not come back.
      My older sister and I are left to fend for ourselves. We are trying to make a go of a small sharehold, farming it as we can.
      An older man from the nearby town wants to marry my sister, but she refuses.
      He gets angry and, to pressure her, he frames me for stealing a goose, and has me thrown in jail. Stealing a goose seems stupid, since my sister and I raise geese and have plenty of our own. But he has some influence in the town, and we are "peasants". I'm 14 or 15 at the time.
      I remember the cell. The wall were large, unevenly sized rocks with mortar. There was a bed and straw on the floor, there was also a small, high-up window in the wall.
      My sister and I are very close, love each other dearly, and would do most anything for each other.
      She agrees to marry the man to get me out of prison.
      A few years after they are married, he kills my sister one night in a drunken rage.
      For some reason, in that life I am aware of reincarnation and I kill myself, so the spirit that is my sister and I can come back at the same time for the next life.


My sister: Tina, the Army buddy, who lives in Florida, Ed's ex-wife.

Our father: Ed, the Army buddy, who lives in Florida, Tina's ex-husband. Ed is the perpetual warrior, always looking for the next battle. In a few lives where the three of us were together, he has been married to, or responsible for Tina, and gone off leaving her with me.
