‘Jesus only went so far into Hell, my child. He was too good, too kind, too fair. In fact we thought it was an Error until the Good People on the Other Side of the Veil sent US A message. In fact, it appears His Soul Purpose here was to wed Your Mother, to birth ye into Existence.’
‘Why Granmama?’ asked the child her spinster grandmother tugging the comb through Her Hair.
‘So you can continue Your Father's Work, go Deeper Into Hell. Apparently there's A Message He Wants Conveyed to your Husband.’
‘My Husband?’
‘Ah well You're both young now, but by the Time you reach the other Side of Hell, He'll be grown and so Will you.’
The child looked in to the Mirror. She had fallen asleep. Her hair was done up in new curls, pearls and ribboned knots. She turned to look at Her Granmama. A Pile of Ashes on the floor.
It was Time.
