STORY STARTER
To get into the afterlife, your soul has to fulfil its truest desire on earth. Some people never find their purpose, and can never move on.
Write about a character who is trying to discover or complete their true goal before they die.
Twice Dead
Scarlett entered the gates of the Midworld to find her true ending. She had guessed dying would be much worse but it was just a long boring line at the DMV. As she got to the front, she was told that she couldn’t enter into any Division here. Her purpose hadn’t been fulfilled. She asked first if her purpose was children but the clerk shook their head. She tried to think of every loose end but nothing seemed right. Maybe she was meant to quit her job? Or she was supposed to quit drinking so much? Maybe it was that she shouldn’t curse in front of children anymore. Scarlett really couldn’t pinpoint one thing that made sense.
