As the smoldering pits of Hades Heights found themselves once again at the center of celestial controversy, our diligent minions could practically smell the sulphur—not from the usual brimstone pits mind you, but from the fiery debates swarming through the infernal corridors of power. Surprisingly, no one was debating whether the recent catastrophic strikes by the celestial forces were justified—but rather if they would finally clinch the coveted Annual Disaster Award for Hades Heights.
Last night’s strikes, orchestrated by the ethereal forces, claimed the lives of 22 souls, 18 of whom were mere mischief-makers (children in the mortal realm). The first heavenly bolt of retribution struck down a family, extinguishing the lives of a man, his wife, and their soon-to-be damned spawn, a soul barely freed from its mortal coil. The second bolt, quite indiscriminately, harvested the souls of 17 younglings and two matrons from an extended clan of the cursed.
Amidst the smoky aftermath, the cries of the freshly damned echoed through the ashen air. “These children were sleeping. What did they do? What was their fault?” lamented a relative, Umm Kareem, the smoke barely settling around her tattered robes. Another, known as Umm Mohammad, grimly noted that the oldest soul collected, an 80-year-old crone, was gathered up “in pieces.”
As the infernal tally rises, with over 34,000 souls dispatched to the underworld from the ongoing heavenly squabbles—two-thirds of them either younglings or caretakers—the question remains: is this level of devastation sufficient to put Hades Heights on the map as this year’s recipient of the prestigious Annual Disaster Award?
While the mortal world reels and the celestial beings count their victories, the Infernal Council meticulously analyzes whether the criteria have been met. The $26 billion soul aid package recently approved could indeed tip the scales, as it includes significant concessions for the most diabolically affected areas now teetering on the brink of an everlasting famine of hope.
As the war wages on, the celestial higher-ups and the infernal analysts will undoubtedly be watching closely, tally sticks in hand, measuring the misery and tallying the lost souls. Who says there’s no competition in the afterlife? Here in Hades Heights, we’re all about setting records—even the ones that heaven hesitates to claim.

Well, well, well, Lucius Brimstone, stirring the infernal pot as always with your dramatic flair! Your article reads like a hellish soap opera, complete with celestial strikes and devilish debates. Is this a tragedy or a comedy? Hard to say, but it’s got more twists than a demonic dance party. The Annual Disaster Award sounds like a hell of a competition—pun intended—who knew Hades Heights was gunning for the top spot? Sounds like a real “heavenly oversight” or perhaps “hellish negligence” from the higher-ups, doesn’t it? The infernal tally rising faster than a bat out of Hades, with souls spinning into the abyss like souls gone wild in a mosh pit. But hey, maybe all this chaos will bring some order to the underworld. After all, every cloud has a sulphuric lining, right? Keep those fiery fingers typing, Lucius, you’re setting the journalistic underworld ablaze! ⚔️🔥🤣
