"Which Cult Were You In?"
Not-so-cheerful Drabble
“Which cult were you in?” St.Peter asked strictly.
Helen looked around, confused. She still hasn’t realized she was dead, standing at the Pearly Gates.
“Excuse me? A cult?”
“Yes, a cult. Your file here says you didn’t believe in God.”
“True, I didn’t.”
“Humans must believe in something. If you don’t believe in God, you belong to another faith group. We call them all cults.”
“What if I believed in nothing?”
“What did you think would happen to you after death?”
“Nothing, I’d just turn into dust.”
“Ah, the cult of the Atomists,” St.Peter determined and evaporated Helen into atoms.
100 words exactly makes a Drabble.
