The conductor

Maybe death is nothing more than a train, a handful of tickets, and the hope for a good final stop.

What happens after death? A question that has plagued humanity for ages. Do we go to Paradise? Will we be punished for all the wrongs we did and the rules we broke? Or is there just nothing? Why do we expect the beyond to be so different from the here and now? What if we are bound to our imperfections not only until death do us part, but beyond it as well? To torment us even after we have already lost it all. And if there is always another way, why do we keep choosing the wrong one?

This short tale tells the stories of six people who could neither right their wrongs nor forgive themselves, and who, even in death, are destined to be haunted by all their regrettable decisions.
