He woke up not knowing where he was, looking at that dark sky and that great moon that stood out in it. Completely different from everything he had ever lived.
Living...Now he remembered, he had died.
He touched his chest and felt a big scar, it was the area where he was shot, he cursed his killer and he was begging to realize that now he had a tail and pairs of horns.
"What the fuck is that?" He thought by touching these parts.
-Look at that, a rookie! -says a horned man who was smoking on the corner, just watching him.
-Do you have horns, too? -shouted the other surprised.
-Almost all demons in this area have a pair, we're no different," he said as if that were normal, although it was.
-demons...?- the newbie was trying to reason all the information he had realized - Am I in Hell?
-How you guessed?- said the older demon in an ironic way, watching him with his yellowish eyes.
-But I...-the newcomer was trying to express his dissatisfaction.
-Look at you here because you obviously did something to eradicate - he was talking about pointing to the blue-skinned one in front of you- and your crime was probably to have killed one or more people, just like me.-When he finished, he took another cigarette and went to light his lighter.
-I HAVE KILLED THAT shit! -he shouted with all his anger in his lungs- -It was the last thing because...
-I don't care about your problems, man, if you're here it's because you sucked," he said, fixing his hat in a cowboy style, looking like he was already full of it.
-Who are you anyway? -he asked dissatisfied the bluish one, already lying on that unknown.
-I am just a wandering soul, just like you, walking and walking in this underworld...
-I want to know your name! -he interrupted the other for supposing that he would be curling him up.
-Tell me what's your first.-His tone of voice remained calm, but it seemed that if he wasn't obeyed, he would do something against the newbie.
"What a son of a bitch" thought after that demon made this imposition, but decided to obey because he was still an unknown and clear, a demon.
-My name is... -His voice doesn't come out suddenly- -My name is... -It still hasn't come out yet.
-So what? -You're going to talk? -The eldest soon asked impatiently.
-I can't!-The other one started to get desperate- my name is...
-One of the rules of hell is that it is IMPOSSIBLE to speak your real name, I never understood this, this is also true for written form, spelled or even for LSA.- It came out just before the new demon became even more desperate.
-So, what will I call myself from then on?
- You choose, it can be literally anything, from body characteristics or even your personal tastes.
- What is yours?
-I'm called "Cowboy" or Carl, whatever.
-Well, mine will be...- looked around him and then realized how blue his skin was, a fact that was on his face all the time - Azul! - He said excited.
-What a strange name - he said smiling at him- But I've heard worse.
-Welcome to Hell Azul!
The other one had gotten excited with that greeting, lost even a little bit of Carl's anger, maybe, despite being in the underworld, this new acquaintance of yours would become his partner, guiding him on how to survive in a place where only criminals and lost souls exist. Blue now accepted that he was part of that world.
BANG
BANG
Lost in his mind, the newbie hadn't realized that Carl took a gun in his pocket to kill him, it was in the same region where he was shot when he was alive, which increased his pain even more. He fell to the ground, without strength to stand up, and only waited for his second death.
-I'm sorry, man, it was nice to meet you - he was talking in a cold and sad way - But here the shot is to kill to survive.-And he was watching the blood coming from the body that was now already dead.
-You know, I always wondered, where do we go after we die here? Since we are dead. And he was carrying the body to his house, and so, one more soul entered and left Hell.
