First Train Home
- Hello there Alison! Welcome to the afterlife!
- Wow, what- what the…
- You don’t need to worry about anything! I will be your guide! You can call me Saint Peter! Or maybe Anubis! Would you prefer Charon? Since you were an agnostic in life, we don’t need to commit to anything specific, haha!
- Huh…ok? I think I already saw this movie somewhere doc…
- Oh! But of course, you folks always love to speculate and imagine what must be like in here. And that’s great! It will just make everything easier to digest for you!
- Uh…are you sure about that? There were like, a thousand different ideas for what’s “here” like, which one…
- All of them!
- …what?
- Yes! It’s like a buffet, feel free to choose! And you can always leave and go to any other! Anytime!
- Oh whoa, really?
- Yes! May I make a suggestion? Would you be interested in drinking and fighting all day long?
- A friend of mine would, but I will pass…
- Suit yourself! Well, how about The Eternal Garden? The Next Dimension? Kitty Puppy Land? You can go anywhere!
- Jeez, that’s- wait, did you just say “Kitty Puppy Land”?
- Oh that’s a classic! It’s exactly as you would expect, a land full of little cuties for you to hug!
- Aw, how nice.
- We just ask that you mind your step while there…
- Oh, because…gotcha, gotcha. Hold on…is Hell a thing?
- Naturally! Care for a visit?
- Why would I want to visit HELL?!
- It’s actually pretty popular, if I may say…do you by chance enjoy BDSM…or maybe some fetish?
- HOLY CRAP! Don’t say that! That’s NOT what that place is for!
- Well, err, I can understand the misconception…some things get lost in translation…but there are 9 circles you know! You don’t need to get into the hardcore stuff right off the bat! Or you may also enjoy Purgatory if teasing is your thing…
- I don’t…
- Yes?
- I might…take a stroll there…but before that, I have a question
- Ask anything you like!
- This whole choose-your-afterlife thing…is basically for eternity, right?
- For as long as you want!
- Yeah that’s the thing, don’t anyone ever get bored of it? After, you know…a time and forever…
- Oh, you can always go for the reincarnation plan and have another ride on Earth again! There’s always something new going on there, really. But I’m sure you already know that, haha!
- Haha. You know, speaking of going back, I would love seeing my grandma again, it’s been some time…
- Well, off to Earth you go then! You shall be reincarnated immediately!
- Wait! Will I see her? Do I keep my memories? How does all that work?
- Haha! Byee!
- Wait!-
*whoosh*
- …haha…oh boy…they keep asking more and more questions lately…this isn’t good…
