Chapter 17 : Heaven Can Wait

Zee’s POV

“Well, this is a little…unorthodox…”

I blinked at my ex-brother Daniel, who stood at the doors to the pearly gates I was seeing. I looked over my shoulder, and there was a host of souls behind me stretching into the dim infinite. I was naked, that was really distressing, what was distressing was the fact that I was a demon in heaven.

And I was burning with all of the Grace around me.

“SEND ME BACK!” I screamed, feeling my skin blister as a woman burst into tears over my distress. “FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, SEND ME THE FUCK BACK!”

“I wish I knew how! Stop yelling at me!” Daniel panicked, flipping his big book of nothing, trying to find some answers to this. “This has never happened to me before, and it’s stressing me out! You need to remain calm!”

“I’M FUCKING BURNING!”

“PLEASE STOP YELLING!”

“THEN FUCKING DO SOMETHING, NIMROD!”
