Afterlife

They say that lies die with time. Given enough time, you can uncover the truth. Given an eternity, you always will. What if you were given an eternity but the truth had vanished? God has left the afterlife – why and where to nobody knows. In the meantime the angels are falling, the damned left unforgiven and the litany of Hell remains as ever: to suffer, to never escape. One man journeys the breadth of the underworld in search of the ultimate truth – god himself – and in finding him know the nature of existence. As he struggles through a world of the wise, the wretched and the all-powerful, each on their own search for answers and captive to the ever-changing whims and moralities of Hell itself, he comes to realise that the ultimate truth he was seeking does not lie with god; and that nothing could have prepared him for it. Can faith become truth? Can pain become livable? Can death become beautiful? Only an eternity can tell.
