The Journey From Life to Death to Life
Rings of fire. Horrific demons. Torturous punishments. I have always been warned of spending my afterlife in hell. For many years, I was scared to leave my house for I thought that committing any sin would forbid my soul from heaven. As I grew older, I began to stray away from the beliefs taught in Sunday school.

Oblivious to what was being done with my physical body, I was finally freed from what I now call “purgatory” once my body and coffin were shoveled over with dirt. Regaining my five senses, my life quickly changed from black to white and I felt as if I was in a dream rather than living on earth. During this time, all of my worries and thoughts from purgatory had been erased for I could hardly even remember my time...
