Vertigo Mountain

Weekly Contest #339

Shoes polished like rare gemstones, brand new shirt neatly pressed, hair washed and pulled back, I'm ready for my shift at Vertigo Mountain, otherwise known as the shit-show. I’ve heard rumours that most people working there don’t last long, but I won’t let that deter me. When I leave home the sky is a gorgeous eggshell blue and I am baking in the sun's warmth.

One evening out of the blue she messages Happy Birthday! My heart soars like a balloon...except it'...

Heaven Eleven

Weekly Contest #336

I must admit I wasn’t a decent person throughout my life, which is why I was sent to work in Heaven Eleven the day I died. Heaven Eleven is a 24-hour convenience store for deceased souls. I was made to work there because, as I was told, hard work in the afterlife is the only path to everlasting salvation. The day I arrived to Heaven I was placed in a queue in a job centre, designed to help determine what sort of work we would be doing for the rest of our immortal life. The angels at the counter took quite some time to get through the queue w...
