When I died, Blind Justice assessed my living worth, fully intending to render my judgement. On the right were my good deeds and on the left all the evil I had done. The scales stood completely even no matter how they tried to nudge one way or the other.
Unable to decide my fate, and having no clue what to do, they sent me catapulting back into this horrid/beautiful world.
"Would it kill you to be either good or bad"? The voices asked.
"Apparently if I mix it just right, I can live forever by confusing fate"! I shouted back.

Miss Persephone's Manual to a Seemingly Ordinary Life
Miss Persephone was found at the dining table, her blue eyes swollen, her tears arriving and retreating like the tides of the ocean. Earlier that day, her family had visited her in the retirement home where she had lived for eight years. It was her eightieth birthday.

"Would it kill you to be either good or bad?" I can totally see an angel and a devil pissed off at you and bickering with each other.
"Would it kill you to be either good or bad"? The voices asked. "Apparently if I mix it just right, I can live forever by confusing fate"! I shouted back. Love this ending haha. Such sass. Great little thought-provoker. You are endlessly creative and it's both amazing and annoying (I mean that jokingly, obviously) :D
Life hack or death hack I can’t decide great story though
Brilliant!!!!!
Would it kill you to just... Well actually yes it would 😁
Novel, this was a great read! I loved it! It was thought provoking, cheeky and surprising! It had such a great twist at the end. I love that they sent you character back because they didn't know what else to do with her! So well written and thought out! 💜
Haha great idea for a story
The story is Resounding ❤️😉💯📝
