The dead will arrive vertically through the floor. Maybe they are looking for revenge, or for retribution, or to punish us for our sins. Or maybe they want to help us. Maybe they are our friends.
The angels will arrive from above through the ceiling, to judge us or maybe to seek retribution, or maybe they are coming to help us. Or maybe it’s just that Heaven is full and there’s no more room.
The living will arrive horizontally, through the gallery door from the street outside, to seek retribution, to seek revenge, or maybe just to say hello. Or maybe Hell is full and there’s no more space.
And the flies … the flies arrive diagonally, to feed and breed, to irritate us or maybe they are trying to help us. Maybe they are just being friendly as well.
