"Netherworlds" Story Part 3

      On the surface of Hell were mostly organ donors bumping into everything. Jason asked Satan why such do-gooders were condemned. The Devil avoided the question and changed the subject. It turned out that Lucifer won custody of these unfortunates in a tense game of chess between Heaven and Hell.  A moment later an eyeless soul bumped into Jay and rebounded into Satan. Lucifer backhanded the eye-sore like a tennis pro. Jason protested so the Devil justified his violence with: "This soul is my property, so I can treat it any way I please."  [The Devil saw humans as its rather than hims or hers.] Jason didn't argue with Satan on that point. Lucifer inferred to Jay that poltergeists were clumsy spirits of organ donors occasionally allowed to drift earth-ward since they were just barely unsuitable for Heaven. There were also babies turning on a spit on the surface as "Twist and Shout" could distinctly be heard. These hapless infants were mostly still-borns borne of illicit love. If these babies could grow up in Hell they would probably become proteges of Lucifer, if not demons. Perhaps they were young demons. Jason wasn't saddened for these children since with overpopulation, wars, disease and famine, death was so common on Earth.  (to be cont'd)
