The village of Himmel is smaller than small. If you look closely you see everyone has been inked with a date; the date of their death. They wear their death like a name tag, don't show it off, but always know it's there.
But what happens when one person's tattoo has told them lies? When one person's tattoo hasn't fulfilled it's promise?

What I found lurking on the other side was not an exit but something much worse. I found my way back, and I spent the next month fending for myself. Food, water, a temporary shelter. After a month, someone else arrived, and this person arrived with supplies. Every month a new person was sent up. Every arrival was the same as mine. They couldn't remember anything. I was the first one here, and that means that I call the shots, I make the rules, and I run the place.Complete
