Heaven and hell don't exist. Instead when we die, we go to a place where we are ranked by how we died. Natural causes, murder, suicide, accidental (ranked by understandable to just stupid), etc. As you can imagine, this is a major shock to anyone recently deceased. In this case, a major shock to Ester and her husband, Corbin. You aren't supposed o be able to remember your past life. However, every story needs a twist. After Corbin's tragic loss of the ever so beautiful Ester, he has his own very sudden run-in with death. He is shocked to see the heaven he grew up hearing stories of not being anything he pictured. He is shocked to not be greeted by his dear wife and childhood pets and Mawmaw Sue and everything that was promised to him. Yet, no one else seems to be burdened and he can't find Ester anywhere. (This story has been marked for mature audiences due to mention of suicide, death, religion, and some harsh language. Thank you for reading, enjoy!)

Love is strange. It exists in many forms and is one of the key components that makes humans happy, but there isn't a lot of understanding surrounding it. At least not the kind of understanding with which the average person identifies. Agnes is one of the few people that can accept all kinds of love. Despite her dated name, she is a woman in her late 20's dealing with the death of most of her family. She's now stuck in the middle of figuring out how to raise children that she never saw in her future and deciding what love means for her, when it has to exist within layer upon layer of complication. She let go of her boyfriend after almost a decade because their love wasn't meant to exist under the strain of children, only to find herself confronted with the overpowering connection of her old high school sweetheart. The same man she ran away from because their values hardly aligned when it came to how love should be expressed long term. Within the midst of learning how to raise children and balance her ever-building career, Agnes tries to recover from her mother's death, seek comfort without complicating her circumstance, and figure out why her mother would name her Agnes. Finding real comfort starts to feel impossible, as her most available options are her ex-boyfriend and her assistant. Completed! Rejected 6 times** "This one just isn't for us." By far the most plain rejection I have ever received and I can respect it. 1/22/2022 - 1K 9/28/2022 - 10K
