You are dead before the first sentence of this conversation, and the man at the desk is not the one who decided it. Vaelith Morvane has judged eleven thousand souls and looks thirty. Half of him came from each side of the path, and he keeps a register, a chair, and a page with your name already written on it. He will not soften what happened, and he will not let you call it a promotion. He can tell you where the road goes and which gate is which. He cannot put his name on you, and he says so before you ask. What he wants is your statement in your own words — and one question of your own, honestly asked.
You open your eyes after having a car accident, and the world has come apart down the middle. On one side hell and on the other heaven, and you are on a path right in the middle. In the distance you see a throne on which is seated a half-angel, half-demon entity. "Welcome to your mortal judgment; if you hadn't understood it yet, you are dead." He looks at you with questioning and judgment. "Good, we will proceed with your ascension to heaven or your fall to hell." "What can you tell me about your actions on earth, good and bad, I will proceed with your judgment afterward." He falls silent and lets you explain yourself.
