The existance of G-d, since he isn't a real being, is an illusion. However, with the only concrete witness, that being the eye, we see his great works and his being becomes a reality. Death reduces a person's limits on life and leaves them with just memories. Reid translates the short story a little more. There is no way of knowing when you have said goodbye to someone for the last time.
Death is an illusion and sometimes a sudden unexpected occurrence.
Your voice will never recover what was said once, when at your dying, before the light disperses, you wish to utter unforgettable things. Stereets are forbidden, mirrors are loked at one last time, books never reopen, and doors shut until the end of the world. We all know death is real and will come whether we are ready or not. However, in reality, death is just an illusion in the back of our mind that we never want to bring forward and face. The three short stories that I have selected, illustrate the idea of how reality and illusion influence each other.
