The living story
The story so far
The underworld's eighteen departments of correction: the tongue-pulling office, the boiling-oil bureau, the mirror-of-evil-deeds waiting room. Every punishment fits the crime with bureaucratic precision, and every sentence ends. That is the part the living forget — in the Diyu, unlike in life, the paperwork always finishes.
Happening now
All eighteen departments are running tonight, on schedule, the damned serving their sentences to the day. The mirror-of-evil-deeds waiting room has a line. It always has a line.
What may come
When the last sentence ends — and every sentence ends, that is the rule — the eighteen departments will close their doors in order, from the first to the last, and the underworld will be the quietest bureaucracy in existence. The paperwork will be finished. It will be the first time.
