-THIS IS AN UNEDITED FIRST DRAFT OF THIS BOOK-

Five people, who all accidentally kill someone during their lives, all die within their respective time periods. When united in the afterlife, a purgatory black desert world called Cou'Ra Ta'Nir, they are presented with an impossible task to atone for their sins: build a mountain. Whilst trying to defy the laws of creation, they are imprisoned in this strange world and given the names of those who they killed; Peregrine, Saskue-Unknown (Su), Squad 833 (Sett), Alice and Mina. 

After discovering that only one man has ever managed to achieve this task and chose to remain in Cou'Ra Ta'Nir rather than progress onto Heaven, Peregrine and her new companions set out to climb his mountain to discover the secret of creation and why he stayed. But darker secrets will emerge...

Can friendship save a life? Genre: Women's Fiction, Novella (abt 43k words now...) A rock-climber wants to rescue others, but must first win the battle to save herself. Can a 35 year old former EMT reveal her passion for poison in time to save herself ... from herself? 1995 Baltimore is trying for a rock-climbing para-medic turned gym teacher. Especially when hiding a death wish. When her aviator husband finds out, Nanyehi must choose between fight and flight. My 2nd practice novel... (Note: there are no sexual, violent, nor vulgar themes or scenes in this story, but Wattpad says it is Mature, I suppose due to the presence of suicidality in some of the book? Imho this is Women's Fiction, as it has a strong female protag. who saves herself and has a hopeful ending. -ShiraDest, 5 November, 12015 HE) (Started on 4 November 12015 for the 2015 November 50k word story #SuperCharged #JustWriteIt challenge. Rough Draft done 29November, Posting 2nd draft chapter by chapter now...) Update: 18 September, 12017 HE: I don't think I ever did give much backstory for any of my MCs. As for clarifying the setting, I sat down to edit for setting, and realized that my problem with this practice novel is that it was written for one particular person, which is why I had so much trouble making the place definite at the start. I also thought about Marie's entrance: I'd meant to convey that expected noises were identified, and thus less likely to set off panic.

You die. Game over? Not quite. Welcome to the Afterlife Crucible. Every millennium, lost souls battle for a second shot at life. Forget everything you thought you knew about the afterlife. It's not pearly gates and harps - it's a ruthless gauntlet dreamed up by bored gods with a sick sense of humour. Your regrets become weapons, your sins are armour, and your secrets? Just ammo for your rivals. This is a no-holds-barred war where only the most devious spirits get to breathe again. You'll face nightmares that make Hell look like Disneyland, and opponents who'd sell their own mothers for a chance to win. Ready to fight for your life... after death? I sure as hell wasn't. There I was, barely keeping my head above water, when some prick decided to punch my ticket early. But let's face it - my chances of winning are slimmer than my ex's conscience. Who am I? Jane Doe. Just another dead girl in a sea of corpses... a junkie, a fuckup, a waste of oxygen. Or so I thought...
