Samsara

== Samsara ==
"Samsāra" is a story by James Manley-Buser in the anthology Fifteen edited by Stuart Douglas for Obverse Books.
== Synopsis ==
Iris has grown tired of travelling, settled down on a beach and explored her spirital side. And gotten drunk. Very, very drunk. Eventually, after thirty odd year, the quiet life killed her. Today, therefore, is the first day of Iris's life. 
== Notes ==
* The previous Iris is described as old, suggesting any number of incarnations. 
* The new Iris is described as having coffee coloured skin, with mischevious eyes and a bindi in the shape of an orobourus on her forehead.
