Prologue
Narrator: 21st Century. On the surface, the world seems calm. People rise each morning to work, children fill the schools, the wealthy enjoy their luxuries, and the poor struggle to endure. The world is far from fair, yet all of us share one truth: we are sinners. Still, churches stand as sanctuaries, places where souls seek comfort from the burdens of guilt and wrongdoing.
Narrator: Some believe in Heaven, in gods and divine light. Others scoff, denying such things. Yet there is one belief nearly all share, the existence of Hell. Despite our different faiths, cultures, and philosophies, humanity trembles at the thought of eternal damnation.
Narrator: Most of us do not truly care about our sins. We chase wealth, ambition, and fleeting pleasures, blind to the weight of the spiritual. But sin does not vanish—it gathers, it festers, like water filling a reservoir. And when that reservoir overflows... the world itself must face the consequences.
Narrator: Life and death are constants. Each day, souls depart while new ones enter. Yet no one truly knows where we go after death, nor where we were before our first breath. Most of us live only for reward and satisfaction. In the end, every choice, every sacrifice, is driven by the pursuit of fulfillment.
Narrator: Even a noble act—throwing yourself into fire to save another—can be traced to desire. The desire to preserve a life, to receive gratitude, or to feel the fleeting surge of pride that follows.
Narrator: But this does not make humanity evil. It is simply what we are. It is instinct—inescapable, undeniable, whether we admit it or not. Every action, whether good or wicked, grows from this root.
Narrator: And so, in this story, I ask you to wonder: is God watching us? Is Hell walking among us? Perhaps both. This is not merely a tale of good and evil, but of sinners—our choices, our punishment, and the fragile thread on which all our lives hang.
