Surviving the Line

Tonight’s story imagines a terrifying afterlife for those who fail to live morally: a slow, relentless reckoning where consequence becomes architecture and regret is its climate. Woundlicker’s tale unfolds as a grim parable—no cheap judgment, just a steady, bone-deep logic that shows how small compromises and cruelties can harden into an eternity you wouldn’t wish on your worst enemy. Kayvan Shai’s narration brings a hardened clarity to the piece, making the moral weight feel immediate and unavoidable rather than preachy.
