Challenge #03350-I062: A Work In Progress

Hell is the last place anyone wants to be. I admit I've done a lot of horrible things in my life. In all honesty, I expected this. The Bible pretty much got it down. The Blazing fire, the screams of the damned, the smell of brimstone, and chocolate chip cookie? -- Anon Guest

My name is William, and I have devoted my life to chocolate. The flavours, the artistry, the wonders I could make with it. I may not have been one hundred percent ethical, but it's impossible to be truly virtuous in a world gone rotten.

I did not expect to be sent to hell. Not truly. While I didn't believe I deserved it, I also did not believe I had earned heaven. I had hoped for at least purgatory, or perhaps reincarnation, but I did not think I deserved hell. On top of that came another surprise. A fully-stocked confectioner's kitchen with everything a confectioner-artisan could want.

Challenge #01794-D333: An Argument Against Paradise

"So... so... from your grand cosmic point of view, my entire life, from the moment I was born till the day I die, is... is just a bit of idle entertainment? My very existence, in the eyes of the gods... is just a... a bad joke?!"

"Well... actually - though I must note that's a terribly selfish and negative way to phrase things; it makes us all look quite callous and nasty, a rather rude thing on your part, you know -
