Description

I was recently trying to determine a sort of cosmology for my comics (Melody & Macabre). I don't think I could ever accurately portray it in the series, as I kinda do want to leave the whole "What happens after you die?" thing a bit mysterious, and also a bit unnerving. Nevertheless, my mind did start to wander, and I started to wonder what the Afterlife might look like.

I pictured a vast desert, white, with a black sky and stars hanging overhead. In keeping with the hourglass theme, the Underworld is more or less the bottom half of an hourglass, and the "stars" are lives still hanging in the middle area of what we so naively call the "real world."

When a person dies, their soul falls to his desert, where it will eventually break down into the same sand that surrounds it. Death really doesn't even need to "claim" souls, they just end up there, but he gets a bit bored and climbs up here every now and again. Plus, sometimes things up here get... messy, when he's in his sandbox.

I don't think he goes to the very top, much. Most likely not interested. As such, I won't ever have to explain where all the souls come from. ;)
