What is dead can never die... or can it? I don't know

Peal has died once so far. Gone beyond the veil, yet come back thanks to a quick medical intervention. He doesn't recall much of the experience.



According to my notes he's going to go through this sort of a thing at least once more, possibly twice, before it finally sticks.

Here's the question: does this give him any power over Death? Does it mean he can avoid its cold grasp and keep himself alive through even the worst of it?



Or does it mean Death is really pissed off at him and will take special interest in him, make sure that he dies and stays dead, Final Destination style?

That's the nice thing about writing fantasy. Either one could be true. Or neither.
