“I CAN HEAR YOU FEELING SORRY FOR YOURSELF ALL THE WAY FROM
Heaven.”
Lucifer dragged his gaze from the memo that had crossed his desk and
looked at Jev, who was leaning against his office doorframe. Great. Just
what he needed. Another unsolicited pep talk. “By all means,” he said,
looking down again, “let yourself in.”
“You did say the invitation was a standing one.”
“And I suppose it’s too late to rescind that now.”
Jev chuckled and pushed off the doorframe to stroll into the room.
“After so many years of begging me to visit, you have an interesting way of
making me feel welcome.”
Lucifer inhaled a breath and pinched the bridge of his nose. “What are
you doing here?” he asked after a moment. “I don’t believe we had an
appointment on the books.”
“We didn’t, though I would like to see how the new project is
progressing.”
The new project meaning the complete and total restructuring of Hell—
something that Lucifer had advocated since the beginning of time.
This much was a huge concession on Jev’s part, and one, Lucifer hated
to admit, that would have been impossible without Lilith. His deranged ex-
wife had drained the Hell’s Registration, flooding Earth with the burned,
hollowed-out husks of the souls of the damned. And Jev, upon seeing what
eons of torment had reduced Hell’s prisoners to, had opted to destroy them
rather than send them back for more. Now with the Lake of Fire dried up,
Lucifer and Jev had workshopped alternative methods of punishing the
wicked while allowing the damned the chance to graduate to a less painful
plane of existence.
The short-term had the souls of the newly deceased confined to
windowless rooms where, upon the walls, played an endless loop of the
decisions and actions that had directly impacted the happiness or well-being
of another person. Like being stuck with the Ghost of Christmas Past, only
without the possibility of waking up. This new form of punishment was
paired with biweekly visits from Hell’s very first social workers. Should the
damned show signs of actual remorse, they would be allowed to socialize
with others. If they tried to harm anyone, their sentence would extend.
The end goal was to allow the souls who demonstrated penitence to
eventually integrate into something resembling human society again. This
meant overhauling the rest of Hell—policing the demons as he never had
before and establishing some sort of rule of order. In the past, Lucifer had
been very lax with the demon population, trusting that the Sins and Pixley
would keep the true insurgents from causing too much trouble. But that sort
of thinking hadn’t been fair to them and had likely contributed to so many
demons succumbing to the Gospel of Lilith.
“The new project is outside,” Lucifer said at last. “You won’t be able to
see much from in here.”
“Well, I have another reason for visiting.”
Of course he did. “I am on the edge of my seat.”
“I think you should consider joining a grief support group.”
“Pardon?”
