Part 2
*Warning:This part is much slower than the others, but it compensates with comedy and serves the purpose of introducing the character and situation.*

ADRIAN:How...how did I die?

DEATH:You were ran over by a semi truck. Funny thing is,the driver's going to jail for vehicular homoside and it's all your fault. Why did you run in front of him, anyway?

ADRIAN:I was being haunted...by my past.

DEATH:Ooo...that's deep.

There is a slight pause as Adrian wathces the ambulance drive away.

DEATH:Well,if you want to come back to life,you have to make it through the Valley of Death.

ADRIAN:No thanks.Just take me away.

DEATH:Are you serious? If you go now, you'll go straight to Hell. Do you realy want to go through an eternity of torture? I know I don't. Plus,you'd never see your wife again. She's going to heaven.

ADRIAN:Gloria?...alright. I'll fight to live, only for her.

DEATH:That's what we wanted to hear!

A small,spherical light exits Adrian and hovers into his former body. Adrian,comletely caught by suprise.

ADRIAN:What was that?! Did you just take my soul?!

DEATH:Of course not. I just put a fragment of life into your body. I think you mortals call it a camma.

ADRIAN:A camma? Oh,you mean a comma!

DEATH:Yeah what ever. Now,unless your wife pulls the plug,you won't be burried. If your wife pulls your plug while you are in the Valley of Death, you go straight to Hell. Do not pass go,and do not collect $200.

She laughs at her joke,Adrian dosen't find it funny,though.

DEATH:Allright! Enough dilly-dallying! To the Valley of Death!

Death reaches out in front of her and grabs air. She then pulls inward and the sky begins to hove toward her. After giving one final tug she rips off the piece of sky and a black abyss sits infront of her.

DEATH:Shall we go? Ah, what do I care what you say.

She grabs Adrian by the arm.

DEATH:Face your past and find redemption.

She throws Adrian into the abyss and it closes behind him. Adrian lands flat on his face,though he can't see the ground infront of him. A spotlight apers and is focused on him.Adrian stands up as another spotlight focusses on a giganitic man of a judge.

JUDGE:Adrian B. Webster! You stand to trial for punishment! Will the defence now give it's case!

A spotlight shines on a young Indian girl in a Chinese kimono. She clears her throught and glances at Adrian.

INDIAN GIRL:Worm,your honor,I would first like to point out that Adrian B. Webster may have done some bad things in his past,but he has found the creator and pronounced his belief.

A spotlight then shines on a tall,pale young man with his hair slicked back.

PALE MAN:Objection,Worm,your honor! Intelligence has revealed that the defendant has fallen off the path. We all know how obvious it is that this Adrian deserves to burn.

INDIAN GIRL:Worm,your honor,if we could get his wife to defend him here,I'm sure you'd see that-

PALE MAN:But the fact is,she can't, and Adrian B. Webster was a foul and miserable exuse for a human being. If you want evidence Worm,your honor,we've compiled a list of the unimaginable sins this,quote,"man" has comitted. I'm sure the size of his "redeeming" qualities don't even compare.

The Indian girl bows her head in shame as the pale man hands the judge a small pamphlet.

ADRIAN:(to the Indian girl)Is that true? Is what he said-?

PALE MAN:Mr. Webster! How dare you insult me so! Unlike your lawyers on Earthe,WE never lie.

The judge looks at the Indian girl, and then at Adrian.

JUDGE:Adrian B. Webster. How do you plea?

ADRIAN:Well...I was told if I didn't redeem myself here and now, I'd go to Hell.

JUDGE:What? Is that what you're here for? Well why didn't you say so?!

The Indian girl gives a sigh of relief as the pale man scowls at Adrian.

PALE MAN:(muttering)What a waste of my time.

The judge bangs his gavel,and the Indian girl and pale man disapear.

JUDGE:Death!

ADRIAN:What?!

Death apears next to Adrian,who is completely taken by suprise.

DEATH:Yeah yeah yeah. I'm here,Worm.

JUDGE:Once again,Death,you've neglected to inform your patron of the proper procedures to apply for redemption.

DEATH:Did I?(laughs)Must have slipped my mind.

JUDGE:Nevermind. Adrian B. Webster, prepare yourself for the most greusome ordeal you've ever been through.

DEATH:(smiling big at Adrian)And you thaught military training was tough.


Well that concludes part 2. WE bet you thought Adrian was already in the Valley of Death. Shame on you for jumping to assumptions. Again, we hope you enjoyed it. ^^
