Soul

[J. J.]

A man sells his soul and nothing happens until he dies.  He goes to hell, which is surprisingly like the worst aspects of real life.  He asked the Devil why?  The Devil says, "Free will."  The man realizes he was damned by his own life choices.

That's quite a twist!

Is that from something or do you mind if I....remember that?

No, I came up with that, on the spur of the moment, based on my Calvinist upbringing.   You can "borrow" it, but I might do a reworking of it.

I'd make Hell a lot like the real word, but darker.  It would always be overcast, slightly cold, dusty; nothing would glitter.  People, including the Devil, wouldn't smile.  No joy, just sarcasm.  A person might achieve his full dreams, but not be able to really enjoy it. People/demons would be callus.

So any of those goth teens who go to hell would like it there?

Goths enjoy themselves.

It is a function of the brain, one that has never been located exactly and hopefully never will.

It would be interesting if he hears Aretha Franklin before, but after, he sells his soul, he doesn't.
