If you think it’s all a bed of roses after you die, you’re wrong. Some people are dead-set on returning amongst the living, while others wind up in purgatory, where nothing of you remains but a fleeting shadow, a freakishly deformed silhouette. Perhaps the soul that relives its last wretched hours on the deathbed for all eternity is the most lamentable fate.
