How is it different than hell? What are the punishments? What acts get one sent there?
You’re not getting burned Alice but its hot enough that you’re constantly sweaty.
The demons don’t actively torture you but they are going to jump you when you turn the wrong corner.
You’re not there for eternity, it’s just really difficult to leave.
You don’t eternally burn in the flames to atone for your sins, but you have to work to pay them of.

Shit I think I just described San Francisco.
Disobeying homeowners association, saying frick to you parents
Only band kids go to heck, their eternal punishment? Only sequels, no original film or book or tv show, just spin offs and sequels forever
Huh, that does sound mildly bad. Good job!
The coffee is luke warm and the doughnuts are stale. It’s always windy and slightly too cold for comfort but not cold enough to put the heating on. Your bum itches.
Why were you sent here? See below.
Pride: you bragged about the size of your investments to your poorer relatives.
Greed: you shoplifted from a small ‘Mom & Pop’ store (stealing stuff from a chain store doesn’t count).
Wrath: you were rude to the waitress because of a small error in your order.
Lust: you propositioned your spouse’s younger sibling (and got turned down).
Envy: you keyed your neighbour’s new car.
Gluttony: you ate the last slice of pizza and drank the last beer.
Sloth: you never got out of bed before 11:00 a.m. at the weekend.
Thanks for the thoughtful response. That was a good read. Some of those things seem significantly worse than the others. Is there more to that?
It’s just like here but there’s an awful, hollow, gnawing feeling like you’ve already seen this post before just last week.
Child molesters and people who talk at the theater
I said, “Heck” as in the mildly bad place and not the sub-basement of the lowest circle of hell.
No, those are the punishments. They won’t hurt you, but you have to tolerate them. Eternally.
Okay, I get it now. Yeah, that’s pretty gross. You’d be a good heck demon. Are they called demons? Seems like it should be something more boring.
