Prologue: Beginning at the End

HELL

Hell was hot. It was close to the Florida heatwave she had experienced on tour once. But with all the gyrating bodies and the flicking of tongues in places best left unmentioned, it was far from being the very same as what people had presumably described. There wasn't much of the torturing nor the suffering that was promised by every orthodoxed religion. It was a damn joke played on humanity. There wasn't any sort of flaying or torture or drowning in hellfire. In fact, Bephomet made the best gumbo. Beelzebub played the fiddle, though his only audience were the flies. Across the River of Souls, Hades was the best at blackjack and generally being a drunk. And Lilith hosted the best orgies.

Hell was different.

Jessie came up with one conclusion that she mostly kept to herself. Hell is what we make of it.

Hell was party for the nonbelievers and innocents but the true fun bits were all for the cruel and the wicked. Those with the twisted sense that had full reign of their little play pen until they got sick and tired of doing the same shit over and over.

Where she currently was standing in, it was the main event. Her big fucking concert stadium to burn.

The Queen of Hell sits the throne. That was the word coming from the whispers around her. The 'Queen' as they had cheered or rather jeered (not all demons or denizens of Hell liked her very much). But the Devil himself had forbid any of them from laying hand on his Queen.

By the way, Jessie wasn't what they call the Queen.

She was just the dead girl.

Jessie the dead girl walked the Courtyard of Heartbreak, ignoring how the vines hanging from the only tree reached out for her shoulders as if begging for a hug. She sidestepped away from them with a mere snort. She was more of the one breaking hearts than the victim. The Tree of Sorrows can go fucking hang someone else.

Walking deeper into the darkest part of the courtyard, Jessie hoped she wasn't about to be devoured by anything taking shelter from the King's wrath. She breathed a sigh of relief when she caught sight of her intended companion and current semi-girlfriend. Their relationship was complicated

The demoness she called 'Dea' partially due to the fact that Jessie never got the hang of her complicated name (Dea it was until hell froze over) was seated by a collection of pressed red roses. Or what looked like red roses until Jessie was close enough to notice that they were human hearts carved and pinned aginst the walls to look like pressed flowers. She wasn't surprised. They were in fact beautiful and smelt neatly of rose water. A change when compared to the lingering odour of brimstone.

'J, what's up?' Dea smirked, pulling yet another wing from a butterfly. The insect emitted a high pitched wail that cut through the quiet courtyard.

'Fine. Just a little bored, is all,' Jessie kept her tone casual.

Putting a pause on the butterflies, Dea offered Jessie a pack of gum. Jessie shook her head, she knew it tasted of the spiciest salsa, hot enough to sear the tips of her tongue and leave it tingling for the rest of eternity.

'Hey D,' Jessie started. Dea looked at her with her head tilted sideways in a gesture of 'go ahead'.

'Ever think what's it like back on Earth?' Jessie asked.

'Not really,' Dea shrugged. 'Why?'

Because Jessie was wondering how her Max was doing without her. Because she wanted to know how Kyle was holding up after all those pills she ate, the good stuff he had gotten for the both of them. Because she wanted to hug a puppy without Dea threatening to eat it. Because she wanted to know who the president was. Because she still wasn't used to the stench of rotten eggs. Because she was sick of being dead.

That was a lot of reasons coming from a dead girl

But Jessie just shrugged back.

'It'd be fun,' Jessie said in a small whiney voice.

'Yes, it would be,' Dea said, distracted with blowing her gum.

They sat in silence for what seemed to be eternity but only two decades have passed in real time. Dea finally ripped up the last butterfly. This one squeaked like a guinea pig before it died. Dea gave the little thing's wings a kiss before she ate the body of the insect, closing her eyes as if savoring the taste.

For the first time, the dead girl Jessie puts up both legs onto the bench, folded her arms around them to hide her face and wept.
