A Foot In Both Worlds
John can't enjoy a day in the park because he
doesn't see the park, just it's shadow. He lives in the borderlands
between Earth and Hell, sometimes referred to as 'The Balance'. As a
child this ruined his life. It's not fair, but God doesn't play fair, he plays for keeps.
John is a highly flawed individual, but needed to counter the workings
of Hell. Everyone who befriends John gets dead, usually horribly. That
this happens for the best of reasons is not much comfort to the newly
deceased, since they've been seized by the damned and are being held in
extreme degradation and torment. Don't think for a second the only way
to get to Hell is by your own volition, not at all. Just because John
does God's work will not save his soul.
Who cares about a match after it burns out?
