Ever heard stories of people who die, but come back to earth? Maybe you've heard of all three afterlives; purgatory, hell, and heaven? Perhaps you learned it from a class about religion in school. Maybe you just saw it in an episode of Supernatural, or on some daytime talk show.
Well, I'm here to tell you the only truth I'm certain about:
I have been to hell.
I'm back.
I have unfinished business.

The Control Group
In Purgatory, the job of the dead is to help the living transition to the other side.

But the mystery is deeper than Eva realizes, and when the life she left behind starts to creep in around the edges, everything she thinks she understands about reality is about to be lost in the fog. ***Standalone short story, first book of the Resurrection Protocols series.***Complete

Guardian Reapers - NaNoWriMo2017
Where do you go when you die? For this kid, it's Purgatory. In fact, quite a few visit Purgatory, but most everyone moves on. Not this kid. They've been saved, by Death himself, for a very different mission. They will be reaping and advising souls, keeping the very balance of the universe. They will be the newest guardian reaper. ____________________________________ He raised the scroll again and proceeded reading. "We have evaluated your life, and you do not clearly fit into a category of the afterlife. For this reason, you have been sent to purgatory to be advised. After your trial period, I will decide where you fit, or whether you'll need a second trial for advising." He paused, looked up at me, and frowned. "What's your name?" "Why?" "It doesn't show up on the document. It should fill in automatically, the second you've been assigned for advising," he explained. "Odd. Very odd. Come with me, you're a separate case." "Separate from what?" "Everyone else, of course." ______________________________________ (Written for NaNoWriMo2017)Complete
