Chapter Two: Aphrodite Hell:
2-D awoke in a sea of pink lights. Two scantly-cad angels
stood over him. One of them pushed aside some of his blue hair from his eyes.
2-D blinked.
“Huh?” he asked. The angels blushed and leapt off of the bed.
The front man sat up, looking around.
“Where am I?” he asked.
“Eternity, baby,” a woman’s voice answered. 2-D looked forward
when the lilac curtains drew open. A woman stepped into the room. Her white high
heels made a feathery clacking noise as she walked inside. 2-D stared at the
curves through her long white silk dress. Her long blonde her covered her
shoulders.
“Welcome,” the woman said. 2-D tilted his head.
“Who are you?” he asked. The woman climbed onto his bed,
smiling.
“I am the goddess of this realm,” she said. “I am called
Aphrodite.” 2-D looked just as lost as he always did. Aphrodite giggled at the
expression on his face.
“My, my,” she said. “You probably have so many questions.”
“Uh… yeah,” he said. Aphrodite patted him on the head.
“Don’t worry,” she said. “I won’t go too fast.” 2-D blinked as
he stared blankly.
“So… why am I here?” he asked. Aphrodite’s round face came
within inches of his.
“You were in an accident, baby,” she said.
“Accident?”
“That’s right.”
2-D began to remember what happened. He had just the left the
convenient store when he got hit by the car. His empty eyes shifted towards the
Reese look-alike sitting in front of him. “Wait, am I…?”
“No, you’re just in a coma.”
“Coma?”
“Yes.”
“So, I’m not dead yet?”
“No, but you don’t have much time.”
2-D tilted his head. “Why?”
“You’re in limbo.” Aphrodite grabbed him by the hands. “I
don’t have time to explain anything to you. You have to make a choice now!”
“What?”
“Do you want to live or not?”
2-D looked at her blankly. “What?”
“Do you want to live or die?”
“Uh… live, I guess.”
“Are you sure?” Her smile looked like a hungry at trying to
lure a mouse into the kitchen. 2-D dropped his shoulders.
She reminds me of Murdoc for some reason…
“Alright,” he said at last. Aphrodite pulled back with an
angelic expression on her face.
“Then come with me,” she said. The woman turned and walked out of the room. Curious, 2-D climbed out of bed and followed behind. This should be ace, right?
