One Image. Four Nightmares. No Way Down.

In a world where the sky is peeling and the ground is a hungry mire of sludge, thousands of souls spend eternity climbing a rickety scaffold of bamboo and bone. They reach for the gold. They run from the mud. They pray to a giant in black boots.

But what is this place?

Is it a corporate afterlife where the grind never ends? A mythic trap designed to fatten the greedy for a celestial harvest? A glitching simulation fighting a terminal error? Or the final, desperate gasps of a world collapsing under its own weight?

The Scaffolding of Souls takes you on a journey through four distinct realities inspired by a single, haunting vision of chaos. From the satirical to the surreal, these stories explore the heights of human ambition and the depths of our most golden fears.

Step onto the ladder. The Foreman is watching.
