Synopsis

There is no fine line between heaven and hell. The Lord judges rightfully, without fail. He knows all good because he is all good.

Katsuma Pharaoh is not all good. Neither is anyone—but after the Second Coming, that starts to mean something. In exactly one year, the Rapture will begin, and now the world is desperate to know: ‘Will I make it to heaven?’

So with her experience as a psychiatrist, Katsuma starts a business for the people in between. They don’t think they’re good enough for heaven, but hell doesn’t seem all that justified either. They’re confused, they’re lost, and they’re all just a little odd.

They are the Aethers. And for the right price, Katsuma will try to tip the scales and get them to the pearly gates.

Please note the plotline of this story is only partially influenced by real Biblical content. I myself am a Christian and know the teachings differ from the ‘judged for our actions’ ideology of Aethers. But a storyline about missionaries convincing people to convert to Christianity wouldn’t be as comical, I don’t think, so I’ve taken some liberties. If you want to have a real talk about faith, I’m always open.

Only God knows whether I’ll finish this in time. Second contest, here we go!
