STORY STARTER

Submitted by amber35.xx

When you died you were meant to turn up at heaven’s gates, but instead you arrived at the gates of hell. You have to stay until things are set right, but you are starting to enjoy it in hell...

Nevermind

I sunk into the lovely bed. This is surprisingly comfy I thought. Feels like im succumbing to that sin of sloth already.


I’d always been led to believe that Hell was horrible. I’d strived to be a good person all my life, giving to charity and volunteering at shelters, generally being a bit of a goody two shoes and due to some bureaucratic red tape nonsense about my name being spelled the same as a serial killers I’m stuck here until the lovely demons in HR can sort it out.


In the meantime ive been given a lovely room overlooking one of the circles of hell. It really is an incredible view, I can see Prometheus having his liver eaten out and if I use the binoculars they’ve provided I can see in the distance Sisyphus rolling his boulder up that hill.


I’ve been given a free pass to the all you can eat breakfast buffet in the morning, playing right into gluttony there!


The musics much better too. I always preferred a bit of rock and roll over what I can only imagine the dreary classical music Heavens sound system is currently playing.


It really is better down here than I’d expected. I spent my life trying to make it easier for my eternal soul and now that its come to it I think I probably shouldn’t have cared quite so much. I’ll take a walk back to the Human Resources office in the morning and tell them not to bother sorting it out. I’m fine where I am.
