My life is over, but it's time to start a new one. I'm dead, but somehow I'm more alive than I've ever been. I've always seen science as testing the limits of the natural order. That's what I love about it, we can make atoms that are too unstable to...
Today was interesting to say the least. I visited a library, I used my powers multiple times, I got beaten up multiple times, and I got a meeting with the overlords.
But being beaten up was the highlight. Right now I'm drinking a bottle of scotch to ease the pain of having my ribs stepped on very hard. It's a good thing I'm already dead. When I visited the library I learned that sinners can't die down here, or reproduce, it also mentioned that sinners heal a lot faster too. So I think my ribs will be fixed in the morning. Until then, scotch will have to do.
Hell has a long history, and the devil, he's not the scary looking, if anything he looks like a clown wearing victorian mens clothes. But that's not what's important, what's important is that I now know that I'm not the only one with power like this. I might be able to get help with this.
On the subject of my powers, I was sort of right about it happening when I'm scared. Sort of. For a moment I was able to control my telekinesis, I sent the Overlord Zeezi to a wall and made a bunch of tables hit people. Maybe I was just in the zone or something, but I was definitely in control.
As a scientist I must retract my first idea of them only working when I'm scared. I still wish I had a lab to do proper testing. Maybe take some blood samples and test them, but what would I test them against? Someone else's blood? No, to many variables. I probably should wear a device that measures brain waves, and have it record them so if I use my powers I can if there was any difference to my normal ones. But that would only tell me if my brain structure is different, and it is different because I'm in a new body. I'll have to keep thinking of ways to get actually data, the data I'm writing here isn't as helpful, but it does help track my experience.
It's amazing to me sometimes. I've seen odd things down here that you would never see in the living world. I've seen soldiers from armies thousands of years ago fightings ones from only fifty to eighty years ago. I've seen people get shot multiple times, and the one who gets the worse end of it was the guy doing the shooting. There are some tough people down here.
I still haven't learned anything about anything down here. But I'm sure everyone else down here doesn't even want to try to learn. So that puts me one point above them. Maybe. Most of the science that I'd need to figure this out probably doesn't exist. Guess that'll make me a pioneer down here.
There's something else. On my way around the city, I saw a recurring symbol on a bunch of walls. I'm not sure what it means. Is it street art? Is it a gang logo? I'm not sure. But it's important, it keeps showing up everywhere. That can't be nothing, unless someone just love drawing this symbol.

But I don't think anyone's that committed to something like this. It's definitely something. But I don't think anyone really notices them.
I'll just put this mystery on my to do list. Along with "figure out powers" and "learn everything about hell". It's probably nothing but I'm curious nonetheless.
I'll even find a reason to what a bunch of the history books here refer to as "magic". Because as Arthur C. Clarke once said "Magic's just science we don't understand yet". Still though a lot of the history that referred to the power that royal families and overlords had as magic was very convincing. Descriptions of incantations, rituals, and spells that were cast with words.
But there has to be a real reason why they exist. Some extra dimensional force maybe. Like the fundamental forces of the universe. Which I just realized I can control one out of the four of them. HOLY SHIT!! I'm oblivious! Gravity is the force of nature with no particle making it different from the rest. Still they're no use to me if I can't use them at will.
Still fun to think about. But until I can use them, I'm as weak as any other sinner. Which sucks, because sitting in rubble and having to steal food is just pathetic. I haven't shower at all since I came here. And my socks are all torn up.
First request for when I meet the rest of the Overlords, is a shower, and a fresh pair of clothes, and after that a rash cream, sleeping in an abandoned building does leave you open to getting bitten by a lot of insects. Oh and I need a massage. Along with the insect bites there's also the lumpy ground.
Anyway I need to hide and go to sleep, if the hazbin hotel fails, I don't want to die.
