Here's my idea, which prompted CarlManvers2019 to suggest this thread:
I have this outline for a story I thought of decades ago; it's about this girl who lives in a medieval fantasy world, just outside a village in the woods by herself. One day, she's gathering food in the forest, when suddenly, she wakes up back in her bed. She goes to gather food in the forest, only to wake up in her bed again. She goes into the forest a third time, stressed out and on edge, not knowing if she was awake or still asleep; this time, she hears the whistling the arrow makes as it flies through the air, before it hits its target, killing her instantly. She wakes up in bed again. She stays there this time, and by nightfall; she can just about smell the nearby village burning.
Not exactly; whenever she dies, she wakes up on that day, in that bed. As long as she stays alive, however, everything goes on as normal; if she stays alive. I'm planning on making that "if" difficult for her.A fantasy variant of Groundhog Day? Could be good, could be bad, but you never know how people like it if you don't write and post it.
As for this question:
I haven't decided yet. Maybe, maybe not.Ah, does this also apply if she dies of old age?
