[{(So... it’s Hell?

Hmmm...but it doesn't seem like..

 

How come he’s here? He was good!

A good son, a good husband, a good father

He was all of the above.

A..n..d. . .yes, I even saw her, she mustn’t be here...in Hell!

...There’s some problem, people are happy here.

Ha! Did I say ‘People’?

Ha.. but, he’s laughing and he’s dancing!

Yeah few are crying, hmmm... these few are cursing, and he’s beating himself.

But these are just FEW of them… What a Hell is this???

It’s just like down there.

Same- few cry- few laugh- I know this all.

What’s new? Do I ask someone? Well, I must.)}]

 

‘Hey you, Sir, you work here?’

 

 

 

 

‘Wow, so are you some officer or something, uh?!!’

 

 

 

 

‘Well... sir, I’m just wondering if it is ACTUALLY Hell?’

 

 

 

‘Yes, well they brought me in, they said it’s Hell.

And there was a signboard written Hell-Come!’

 

 

 

‘Oh no no, I don’t have any problem.. I’m just not.. I mean

It’s NOT LOOKING like HELL!’

 

 

‘Who ME? It’s the first time.’

 

 

 

 

‘Yes, I’m SURE. I haven’t died before it’s the first time, yeah!’

 

 

 

 

‘No...But I know what Hell looks like! I heard of its descriptions.’

 

 

 

 

‘Yeah..not from the dead men but...Okay. Fine, it’s like this I accept it as HELL, so tell me one thing, if it’s Hell, then those people,

 

There...

 

Yes...why they are here?

 

They were good, I knew them.’

 

 

 

 

 

What? No, I mean..but..how come?

 

 

 

 

 

 

But this is Hell!

 

 

 

 

No, but you said it, those officers told me and there was a sign board!

But just now you said it is Heaven, didn’t you?

 

 

 

 

 

Oh...please don’t confuse me, please!

 

 

 

 

Okay explain!

 

 

 

 

Yeah.. I did see the sign board, yes!

 

 

 

 

What ? the door?

 

 

 

 

It was black.

Hey..wait wait...What Do You Think… am I supposed to check the color of the door while entering Hell??? I …Oh Man,you’re.. LISTEN. I am DEAD!

Do you understand, DEAD. Dee Ee Aye Dee!

You know what does it mean? I am no more a living being! And you’re playing.

And that also with the feelings of a dead man!

 

 

 

What the Hell...YOU...

 

Yeah…cool…I’m cool…no I’m not shouting nope!

 

But can you… ah…what do you mean by ‘That Matters’???

Be it Blue, Green, Pink, there be gate or no gate, no door… How Does It Matter!?!

 

It’s HELL my dear, hope you know where’re you workin’?

 

 

 

Ok.

Yeah…speak…I’m listening.. no I am.

 

 

 

Ok I won’t interrupt… but colors?……..ok fine..speak.

 

 

 

ok, so there are two doors.. great!

 

Yeah.. continue. , hmmm…

 

 

 

 

Well yes they took me to the black one, hmmm, fine, so it was for Hell?

That’s what I am saying!

 

 

 

 

Well well. my dear officer… that’s what I am saying. you agree that door’s to Hell, right?

Fine and this is Hell, correct?

Great!!!

So when it is Hell, and I am here because I did all the wrong deeds……I was bad. My question is why the hell they are here??? They were good, I knew many of them. What are they doing here, in Hell?

 

 

 

 

Yeah tell me!

 

 

 

 

No. please………not again… you said this is Hell!

I’ve been listening to your crap!!!

 

 

 

 

You just said it’s Hell….even I’ve reconfirmed it

about..Mmm..Mm…about eight-nine lines above this…..and now you’re denying!

 

 

 

 

Yes it is a denial! What else it is?

 

 

 

 

NO!! I don’t want to listen anything… what the bloody s**t is this!

 

 

 

 

Oh…Please I beg please don’t confuse me, I only want to know that what all we’ve heard about Hell and Heaven, that if we are good we go to heaven and if we are bad we go to hell…is it not right?

 

 

 

 

Yes, see all these people, there, yeah... they used to be good down there but if they are in Hell then why to be good? Especially to them who never do good to others.

 

 

I tell you, I cheated them many times but even then they always treated me like a little brother, now if they are here, it’s a shame to this Hell!

 

 

 

 

Hey, speak something. I want an answer, please help me with this but if you can, just make it simple. No more confusion I am already damn confused!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hmmm..

Hmm..uhmm… fine.

 

 

Yeah… hmm… ok fine.

 

 

Okay. . .but.. ok speak.

But you… hey it’s wrong!

No, but, okay complete… but it’s wrong!

 

 

 

 

No…uhum…but… hmmmm…

 

 

…

 

 

 

Done?

 

Holy S**t!

 

 

 

 

 

I’m gonna sue you all!

 

I’m gonna sue you!!!

 

I swear!

 

Damn..you’re evil! Yeah wicked… Satan yes Satan!!!

 

I mean how COULD you?

 

You’re fooling all! You people are cheaters!

 

We’re innocent; at least we’ve never been to this place before. You have no right to change what’s written! You…you cannot do this!

 

 

We know how Hell or Heaven is! We’ve been given this knowledge from childhood, and I do know what happens in Hell, I’ve seen pictures!

 

 

 

 

Yeah, I saw many. No, they painted them.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Well I don’t know… and it doesn’t matter, I know those pictures are just like the REAL Hell because I WAS TOLD THAT… ALWAYS!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yes, you’re lying!

 

You are cheaters. You are interfering with our beliefs!

 

 

 

 

 

 

NO! They WERE NOT, but YOU are making a FOOL of us.

 

They always told us that there’s fire…and even I saw many paintings just like what they said! So I know they were right.

 

 

 

 

 

I don’t know what you’ll get but I know you’re lying!

 

What a wonderful explanation… ha!

 

Front door entry: Heaven

Back door entry: Hell

 

WOW! AWESOME!

 

 

 

 

 

Hey what do you mean???

No… our deeds DO NOT get rewarded then and there!

 

 

 

 

We are not same! No NOT even to GOD!

 

 

 

 

 

I'm NOT SHOUTING!!!

...

 

 

 

 

Okay….yes… I am chill.sorry…fine….. but then why there’s Heaven and Hell…two different places?

 

 

 

 

No they are different!!!

 

What you’re saying is not true, why should I believe you? Now you’re saying there’s no difference, all will live together, differences are made by humans and blah blah blah…

You can say any thing... but I won't believe you!

 

 

 

 

WHY SHOULD I ?

 

 

 

 

 

Man.. I won't let you people go!

 

I'll sue you all!

 

I need to talk. Where's the top man here?

 

I need to talk to HIM!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Author's Note

Well I started out with a poem and ended up with this. A monologue sort of thing. It's my first attempt to write any thing like this (in terms of the way of writing) so please help me improve. ;]

lolz... This one actually made me smile and that too smile a lot, I loved that opening part the most... and the way you scratched every minute detail and that too in such an apt way, that's really very impressive..
From that "Hell-come" thing to the reference of the "two doors" that really made the entire write full of humor.
And trust me, as a poet I'm committing that it is indeed not at all easy for a poet to write something write like...
But you did it very well and I really enjoyed reading it!
Great work...
[But still I prefer your poems than your stories :) ]

[Jofer Serapio]

Hmmm... It's interesting to say the least. Apart from a few mistakes with grammar here and there, this was good. I honestly like it, the way you wrote this was new to me, confusing, but as I probed the writing and got to your message, it was exemplary. Maybe what you wrote is true. Only humans complicate things. Heaven and Hell may just be attitudes after life. I'm not sure what to think now but you sure made me think. Impressive write. =P

[Lena Vanelslander]

An absurd delight to read :-)!

It was good but confusing.... who was the narrorator talking to and what was that person saying?
