Loving Daughter, Sister, and Wife.

That's what the tombstone read, anyone passing by the cemetery would never spare it a glance. The tombstone didn't belong to anyone they knew, that woman had died years ago so why should they care. It meant nothing to anyone, except for one person. You.

Relinquishing in old memories tempted you, to remember the days when you had lived to see the sun, feel its warm rays on your face, and so much more. Nowadays you were always warm, after all, you didn't need the sun in heaven.

You couldn't quite recall how long it had been now since you had died, time seemed almost ethereal. Still, being in Heaven is where everyone dreams of going after death is it not? Something people yearn for no matter what their religion. Life seems so trivial when alive, as you pondered this, your stomach made a noise.

Confused and second-guessing as to what you had just heard. The feeling of hunger set in, clawing up from the pit of your abdomen as it grew bigger. The longer you left it, it seemed it only got worse. Standing from your seat and crossing the living room quickly as you made your way to the kitchen. Just a snack and it would make all of this nonsense cease to exist. Humming a tune as you stood in your kitchen.

Normally as an Angel you would never feel hunger, so having a kitchen, wasn't completely necessary, but the food never stopped tasting good so some Angels liked to eat. You rarely did though, since you didn't need to you didn't bother. Since you felt hunger now, you were glad you had a kitchen in your home. As you ate your snack, the feeling went away and you happily sat back down in the living room. Unfortunately, your happiness had been short-lived due to the hunger pains now coming back.

Whatever was happening to you shouldn't have been. You couldn't understand why or how but something was wrong. Dread washing over you like a tidal wave, your stomach dropping as the realization hit you. The hunger was only getting worse and there was only one person you could turn to. God.

It didn't take you long to get to his palace, as you flew there in a panic. Politely excusing yourself from anyone who had tried to speak with you, casting your wings away allowed you to move faster as your feet now carried you. Once reaching your destination it seems you were already expected.

Sitting on the floor bowing you explained what was troubling you. It was then that your fate was decided.

"You'll have to leave Heaven." Those were not the words you were expecting, you thought that he would cure your hunger but he was kicking you out of Heaven? You opened your mouth to speak but he held out his hand and spoke instead.

"You have questions, my child, I know," He looked at you with empathetic eyes, "the reason is complicated, it's something you should find for yourself." Tears welled in your eyes.

"So I'm no longer allowed in Heaven?" He nodded and that was the breaking point. Tears cascading down your cheeks as your face gained a red hue, with a sigh you bowed your head once more. The trip back to the house shorter than usual. You couldn't go against his wishes, you simply hoped it didn't take you too long to find out what you did to get kicked out of Heaven.

The trip to Hell wasn't like the ones you had made before. As an exterminator, Hell's occupants feared the Angel under the LED mask, you sometimes feared the Angel under that mask as well. Now, your trip would be one way. It scared you, no, it downright shook your entire being to think that's the new place you'd call home. You had spent years in Heaven without any problems, so why did it have to be now? How could they have screwed up where you were supposed to go? Did they have to give you a taste of such a perfect life only to take it all away? It wasn't fair!
