The Nobodies: Hell's Heroes (Incomplete)

Prologue

Why are we here? We often ask this question without actually anticipating an answer. This is because we all know the answer, however, we are fearful of the truth. We are all here to die. That is our sole purpose. We die. Death is one of the few things in the universe that we are 100% certain of, yet how much do we know about death? For instance, where do we go when we die? What happens to us, of course our bodies end up six feet under ground, but what about our souls or our consciousness? What do we experience after death? Do we just cease to exist? Could you imagine just no longer existing? Not seeing, not hearing, not feeling, and not being. Not even the darkness to keep you company because there is no company to keep. We live our entire lives in pain and suffering knowing that each breath brings us closer to our impending and inevitable death. Do you find comfort in that? The only end to the pain and suffering of life is also an end to life itself. The only question remaining is, is that a bad thing? I suppose the answer to that question completely depends on the person being asked. For instance, do you believe in Heaven and Hell? If so, the thought of dying one day doesn't bother you as much as it scares the rest of us because odds are if you believe in such things you believe that when you die you are going to Heaven. Now, what if this world we live in now, this world where rape, murder, suicide, and countless horrifying acts are simply accepted as common occurances of life, what if this world we call home, was Hell? We are all here because of some horrible or maybe even some minor mistake we made in our past life and our punishment is being born into this cannibalistic community called Earth without any knowledge of a better world, and no recollection of the crimes we are being punished for. This is a world where the only end to the miserably painful and pointless punishment we call life is the one thing we are taught to fear above all else in this world..... death.
