terracinqueHow's this for a story idea: a husband and wife die together (plane crash, car crash, doesn't matter) and one goes to Heaven while the other goes to Hell.
Once a year, or century, or whatever, the saved one is allowed to visit the damned one for a conjugal visit.
Maybe they can spend their time together trying to figure out why the one went to Hell while the other didn't, although maybe that's too "No-Exit"-like.
Maybe they talk about their respective experiences in their respective afterlives.
Maybe they plot an escape? What would be the Hellish equivalent to bringing a cake with a file baked into it?
Whatever it's about, it won't be an Orpheus and Eurydice story, where the saved partner receives a favor from the King of the Damned. Any answers/escape/relief/closure we find will be within the characters themselves.
I'm open to suggestions if anyone's reading this.
