Speaker A

A subway train pulls straight into a funeral hall. It's built for one purpose, carrying dead souls to their final stop, heaven or hell. Inside the train, every soul is praying because once the train crosses the bridge of the afterlife, the next stop is hell. Anyone who did something evil in life gets off there, and once they step off, the punishment begins.

Speaker A

Emma knows she's not getting into heaven. She's shaking, terrified. The train pulls into a dark, twisted station, hell. The second it stops, rotting hands and severed fingers reach through the windows. Everyone on board freezes in horror. The doors slide open. Emma assumes it's her stop. She tries to stand up and get off, but she can't move. Turns out the souls headed for hell don't get a choice.

Speaker A

Some invisible force just yanks them out of their seats and off the train. Fighting it does nothing. One by one, the damned are dragged off. Then the doors shut. Emma can't believe it. She's going to heaven. Back when she was alive, she ran a loan shark business. Everyone hated her for it.

Speaker A

Every single day, she'd show up to collect interest payments. Every single day, people cursed her out. She kept doing it anyway before walking back into her house. She'd rinse her mouth with liquor like she was disinfecting herself, washing off the bad luck. She never wanted to carry the ugliness from outside into her home because her husband was in that home, paralyzed for 60 years, and she wasn't about to let any of it touch him. Taking care of him all that time wasn't easy, but Emma and her husband, James, they had something real.

Speaker A

One night, their adopted daughter, Mia, overheard them being sweet to each other through the door. It hit her hard. She grabbed a metal pan and knocked herself out with it because James carried guilt of his own. He felt like he'd stolen Emma's best years. He was hurt at 20 and never walked again, and Emma stayed for 60 years straight. She never once thought about leaving. All those years, she ran her loan business off his insurance payout just to keep them afloat.

Speaker A

One day, she went out to collect on a debt, except the borrower had already died. Didn't matter to Emma. She still wanted her money. She knew the dead man's daughter would tear into her for it, but Emma's answer was simple. A debt is a debt.

Speaker A

After the daughter paid up, Emma handed some of it right back to her. The daughter took the money and spat out a curse. Emma would rot in hell for this. Those words rattled Emma, not because she feared hell for herself. She feared it because her husband, the good man, would obviously make it to heaven, and if she went to hell, she'd lose him forever.

Speaker A

The daughter had no idea who Emma really was, but Emma had always been good to her. Because that daughter was actually Mia, taken in as a child back when Emma collected the debt her gambling addict father couldn't pay. Back then, Mia was underfed and covered in bruises. Emma was the one who pulled her out of that life. To James, Emma had always been something like an angel. He told her once, straight from the heart, "You're still beautiful, even now."

Speaker A

Now, an angel in heaven asks Emma to choose an age to live at. She thinks back to what James told her, that she was most beautiful exactly as she was. So, she picks 80, her real age, and with that decided, the angel leads her off to find James.
