Have you ever wondered where proverbs come from? Many of them haven’t changed in centuries! They’ve been carrying wisdom from one generation to another, up until modern times. But what if you look at them from another angle? Yes, you’ll find a few Russian proverbs like this.

The result is Echo’s Bones, whose plot, or “plot,” is simple yet convoluted. No problem, he thought we’ll just abolish death for the duration.
