AB had spent centuries as a ghost, floating aimlessly, knocking over Wine bottles for not being able to take hold of them, and making sure no one ever had a peaceful night’s sleep because of it. It wasn’t much of an afterlife, but it was hers. Until one day, the grand gates of Heaven unexpectedly swung open for her!

A divine light shone down, and without hesitation, she drifted inside. The moment she entered, a pair of radiant wings sprouted from her back. The clouds beneath her were impossibly soft, the air smelled like fresh grapes, and an angelic choir hummed a melody so divine it could make a rock weep.

Then, suddenly - alarms. Scrolls and ledgers flew through the air. Angels whispered, glancing at her with increasing concern. One, looking particularly distressed, flipped through a massive book, double-checked, triple-checked, then slowly looked up in horror. She was not supposed to be there!

A gust of wind came out of nowhere. The clouds beneath her vanished. AB plummeted. Down, down, down - straight into the fiery depths of Hell.

She landed face-first. Demons surrounded her, howling with laughter. One fell over, clutching their stomach. Another wiped away a tear. A particularly smug demon flipped through their own list and, after a moment of dramatic pause, shook their head. She wasn’t supposed to be here either.

But since she had made the trip, they decided to have a little fun. With a flick of their clawed hands, they gifted her a pair of sharp, curved horns and a devilish tail. Then, still chuckling, they launched her straight back to Earth like a misdelivered package.

When she landed, she was right where she had always been - stuck between worlds. Only now, she had enormous, tattered wings, sharp horns, and a tail that flicked playfully whenever she plotted trouble.

Heaven didn’t want her. Hell found her hilarious. Earth was stuck with her.

And honestly? That suited her just fine.

Now she spends her afterlife running the Limbo Lounge, a mysterious bar where the lost and the forgotten can find comfort, chaos and a place to belong.
