[WP] You are dead. Now you and everyone who died in the same minute, have to complete a challenge to get into paradise.

'Goooooood afternooooon Ladies and Gentlemen, and welcome to yet another game oooooof Who's Going To Hell? !!'

'What the fuck is this' I thought to myself, groggily. I looked around and saw that I was stood amidst a crowd of people who all looked as confused as I felt. The last thing I could remember was of being crushed under sixty tonnes of truck. I'd watched my arm dissapear under a tyre, pissed my pants, and then felt an odd sense of calm. And then I was here. I checked my body for damage; there was none. My arm wasn't all bent out of shape like the last time I'd seen it. Some of the people around me had started screaming and crying. I turned my attention to the large stage that was erected not far from where I stood; on it was a man dressed in a crisp black suit and holding a microphone. I couldn't make out his face from where I stood, but I could see the shine of his black hair reflecting the garish white stage lighting. He held the mircophone to his lips and a silence descenced on the crowd, who now stood silently, tensely, awaiting some kind of information, or guidance.

'Thaaaank youuu, thaaank you! Hello one and all, I hope we are well met on this gloooooriousssss 3086th game. I am your host, and today you will be playing against each other for a lucrative spot in Paradise!' From somewhere unseen the sound of a large audience let out an excited 'OoooOOOooooh'. The host's demeanor changed suddenly and his cheery game-show host persona seemed to give way to an altogether more menacing one for a moment, 'Do not take this game lightly; the penalty for losing will be eternal punishment and suffering.' The crowd had become panicked. Some attempted to run, but those who made it a certain distance from the crowd simply collapsed into a heap on the floor and moved no more. There was much wailing and sobbing now, and I looked around the the ghastly faces of these terrified souls sharing this nightmare with me. I might have been the only one there who was mildly pleased with the whole situation; after living my whole life as an atheist, I was pleasantly surprised to find something other than an eternity of nothingness waiting for me after dying.
