The Underworld Railroad

While many of the stories that surround the Underground Railroad are well documented, its origins are not. If history has taught us anything its that for every great idea, there is a greater source of inspiration. For as long as civilized man has walked the Earth, another form of the railroad has existed. The Underworld Railroad, although not unlike its sister version in terms of concept, was put into place for a very different reason. When a human being dies, its spirit is either called to Heaven or escorted to Hell based on the sins the person commits while alive. For those spirits forced to enter Hell as the wrongly accused, there is hope. A system of safe houses has been established around the globe, offering refuge for the confused and bewildered spirits who attempt to outrun the devil. This is their story.
