What a great confluence of interesting place names!

And a romance that might as well be in the middle-ground of purgatory, for how little they're able to see each other. Perhaps Angelo might consider moving to Helena's more beautiful locale? Especially since his job already sounds dreadful. What would have have to lose?

Neither Angelo or Helena’s divine Superiors would be amenable to their moving work locations at this time. It is believed that they likely have at least another century of duty at their specific purgatorial locations before being allowed to ascend and move on. Thanks for reading!

It was unclear to me whether Helena and Angelo's superiors WERE actually divine or just regular people, especially given that these are real cities in these locations!

Our daughter visited Zion this fall, and likes to stay somewhat near National Parks but not close enough for the price to be ridiculous. So she picked Hurricane, Utah, as many of us would! But was disappointed to discover that they pronounce it "HURRikin" and that it seems to be a person's name. \o?

I’m just funning you. I mentioned the “divine covenant” above, but that was it. ;)

I’d be disinclined to stay at a place named Hurricane, however it was pronounced!

I had no idea those were all real places. It gives it a mythical quality which I truly enjoyed.
