I decided to call Hell. They picked up on the first ring, "How'd you get this number?"
"Let me speak to the Devil."
"Hell is a hospital. Where souls admit to themselves they've lost their way. Here tiny flames burn doubt and religion til there's nothing left but pure spirit. Then they go home."
"Where's home?"
Click.
"Let me speak to the Devil."
"There's no one here by that name." Click. They hung up the phone.
Ring.
"You again? How did you get this number?"
"Let me speak to the Devil"
"Look soul, there is no Devil, only Hell and the souls who choose to come here."
"Why would anyone choose to go to Hell?"
"Look soul, there is no Devil, only Hell and the souls who choose to come here."
"Why would anyone choose to go to Hell?"
"Hell is a hospital. Where souls admit to themselves they've lost their way. Here tiny flames burn doubt and religion til there's nothing left but pure spirit. Then they go home."
"Where's home?"
Click.
