"Wait, what?!?" The man screeched, causing all the dwellers around him to stop and stare. Some of them muttered, shaking their heads, while others laughed at the newcomer.
"Sir, I don't have time for this. Either you continue on, or i'll be forced to call in security."
"I'm not leaving until you explain why i'm stuck here for all eternity, and why you keep calling it Heck when this is obviously He-"
At this, the woman behind the tall counter stood, clamping her hand over the man's mouth quickly, her blood-red polished nails digging into his face.
"First things first. Here in Heck, we never, EVER mention h-e-double hockey sticks. Ever! We rebranded to a more... Child friendly name. Second of all, you're here because you did something bad in your previous life. I'm not sure what, but something. Now stop asking questions, and move on, so I can get to the next costumer. As you can see, I am VERY busy assigning places here in Heck to newcomers like you." She gestured behind the man, indicating the line that seemingly stretched on forever.
The man nodded, seeing the fire burning in the underpaid employee's eyes. She released him, and he breathed in for what seemed like the first time in years.
"Now, take your paperwork and scram. I haven't got all eternity." She grumbled. He grabbed the paperwork, not looking the woman in the eyes, and turned away, grumbling.
"And sir!" She called after him.
"Welcome to Heck!"
