There was once the tale of three fragments of life after death; Heaven, Purgatory and Hell. Believers of the Almighty God and walked in his teachings always ascend to Heaven. All those who oppose him and live in the teachings of evil, always descend to Hell. All that is left is Purgatory. Some believers say that Purgatory is a place where people can repent on their sins and is still possible to be forgiven and ascend to Heaven. Some say it entails a life long journey to repent on their sins and would only end when they had reached the end. Some say it doesn’t even exist. Those were the three fragments of life after death, but what about the tale of the spirit world? Is the Spirit world the same as Purgatory? The spirit world, as believers explain, coincides with the real world. Is the spirit world Purgatory? What if people had met an accident and are left in comatose? What happens while they are in deep slumber? Where do they go? They are not dead and they seem half-alive. So what does happen when one is in comatose?

… It has always been the question that lingers in everyone’s mind …

It was dark at the hallways of the Accident Branch which was located beside each hospital of the city. The Accident Branch is not real to the real world. No human knew it existed until they get to life after death. The said branch tackles all kinds of accidents; may it be from a car or motorbike accident, falling down a two, three story building, or some other type of accidents that fall into the category of the person ending up in comatose or death. The line at the comatose category was mere shorter than the death category, but the death line always runs faster. It is a one is to ten (1:10) people ratio because deaths are judged only in two; Heaven or Hell, while the ones in comatose are still alive in the real world, so they proceed to Purgatory. Purgatory is not an easy way to get through. Purgatory consists of seven different tests that would evaluate if the person will be granted awakening or death. If one fails on any of the seven trials, then they proceed in death and would be judged if they go up or down. No one knew of these trials and when one succeeds on passing all seven would be granted awakening from comatose but would not remember the adventure they had to get to Paradise.

It was around ten in the morning in the Spirit world in Purgatory. New addition to the death or comatose count rises each day. The lines are endless and tiring. No one in the comatose category knew of what awaits them after the judgment table, while the death category knew; Heaven or Hell. A young male, around his early twenties was next in line from the judgment table in the comatose category. He came in line a month ago and he was just getting towards his faith after so long. Of course, the line was quite long and from what the others had been gossiping about was that, each one in line will get a partner to travel with their journey to Paradise. The Paradise they were talking about was the end of the long road of trials that would make them eligible to be given a new beginning when they awaken. The five feet nine inches tall male took off his baseball cap, showing his medium dark brown hair. He waited for his name to be called and it was because there were no accidents occurring at the meantime. The judgment lady took a glance at him as she fixed her glasses, “I’m sorry lad. We’re still waiting for an accident to --” A ring on her telephone caught her attention,“Speak of the devil,” she answered the call and it was a call to tell her that an accident just happened. She placed the phone down and motioned for the boy to come to her. “Name please?” She asked and the male answered,“Luke Johan McConnery”

The lady in the judgment table typed in his name on her list and let him through the door. The door opened but it led to nowhere. The room that was supposed to greet him at the other side was just darkness. The lady told him to just keep walking and so he did. While he was on the endless tunnel of darkness, vivid images were playing all around him. He could not explain how it was happening or who the people on the images were. It was only when he walked to the last spot of darkness that a voice echoed; explaining the things that he needed to remember, the person on the images was his partner, and that she suffered a car accident like him. He was reminded of the seven trials, and after, a flash of light surrounded him. When he was able to open his eyes, he was already in a hospital room. He looked around but saw no one other than the comatose girl, lying on her bed. ‘So this must be room 109.’ He thought as he started to walk towards the bed. He stood beside the bed and looked at the girl. She did really resemble the girl on the vivid images he saw while on the dark tunnels.

A dim flash of light surrounded the girl and when it faded, the spirit of the girl was beside her own body. Luke heaved a sigh as he did not expect it to be like that; now he wondered if it is how he also ended up in the spirit world. He kept silent since the girl was still soundly asleep. He did not want to wake her up but he knew that time is running out. They need to move now or they will not advance to the first trial without getting to the designated place by the allotted time. He squint his eyes while eyeing the girl, “What was her name again?” He thought loudly. “I know the voice in the tunnel told me but I just could not remember.” He once again said as he scratched the back of his head. “Why am I always not good with names?” He asked once again before sitting down on the chair next to the bed. He rested his elbow on the arm rest and placed his hand on his face. He did not want to come out as rude for not being able to remember the girls name.

Eldara Drako Pleace do ignore the fantasyattributes in the picture, I usally do fantasy rps so I drew her that way ^^

Eldara opens her eyes, the echoing voice still lingering in her head. She looks around the room, her waistlong red hair gently swaying as she does so. The room was dim, the sun slowly setting outside. What happened? Slowly she starts to remember. It had all happened so fast, she remembers being in the car, her boyfriend Jim was driving. They were on their way to a cabin in the woods, the one that they had rented for the weekend. They had been there once before, it was a lovely place by the lake. A smile appears on her lips but then it fades. Where is Jim?
Once again she lets her emerald eyes scan the room. He wasn't here. Then for the first time she notice the young man sitting in the chair beside the bed, and somehow she recognizes him. Is this Luke? The person she were suppose to team up with?
She stands silent for a while, looking at him then she opens her mouth to speak. But what should she say?

“Um.. Luke?”
The girl, standing 5 feet and five inches tall, continues to look at him with her emerald eyes. She is wearing a pair of jeans and a simple black sweater. It was the same clothes she had been wearing when the accident occurred. She waited for the male to respond, did he hear her? She wasn't really sure about what to think nor do in this situation.
