In Life, The Universe and Everything Arthur Dent finds himself in the cavern of a strange bat-like creature with an unpronouncable name. blah blah exposition blah blah plot blah blah giant statue... Basically the bat thing has reincarnated a thousand times as different creatures (man, fly, bowl of petunias...) but in each life has been killed (accidentally) by Arthur. Eg he swatted a fly, hunted a rabbit for food, jumped through an eddie in the time space continuum (good for eddie!) on a couch, lands at Lords during the Ashes test and gives an old man a heart attack; that sort of thing. Thus with his last life he takes his revenge on poor old Arthur.
Read the book to discover how this thrilling roller-coaster ride of tragedy will end.

One of my favorite passages.
Irration fears, you say?
I sometimes find myself under the terrible notion that I shall fall asleep...and, "fail to arise," in the morning.
