Notchless Number Five

I started writing this short story just before my son was born in December of 2008. I was filled with wonder and anticipation of what his life would be like, how I would be as a new parent, and then... where he had come from.
Science tells us that people are created at conception, just as it tells us that we cease to exist after death. But just as I find it hard to believe that there is absolutely nothing after death, I found myself wondering if there had been something before life. What if, as a soul, my son was wandering around the infinite trying to decide what he should do with his eternity? What if, having found nothing of interest on his own, he went to a soul's trade show and was taken in by the pitch of a soul that had lived a life? How would that pitch sound?
