Eternal peace. Heaven. That's where everyone wants to end up in.
But Jake wasn't meant to be there. He was the villain of the story after all - he was on the war front for the wrong side and had killed dozens of people.
But he wasn't going to look a gifted horse in the mouth.
The first thing he noticed about heaven was that it was silent. There were people, thousands of them, but it was as silent as a grave.
Everyone forgets to mention that eternal peace gets boring. Far too quickly and far too soon.
But Jake isn't a quitter. He's not going to waste away to nothing. He tries to find Jane, his opponent on the battlefield who ended up in hell.
He finds Jane, only able to look from afar, as she's surrounded by a crowd of admirers who hang on to her every word.
He tries yelling, shouting, screaming into the void between them but she can't hear. There's a sound barrier between heaven and hell. After all, who wants to hear the sounds of eternal damnation?
