WARNING:

Two angels have been thrown out of Heaven for partying too
loudly. One is a poet who should have been writing sacred works and the other
is a musician. However, they are both talented and popular, so the other angels
prevail upon Big G to change his mind.
But there's a catch. They may only return to Heaven after
they've protected or saved 999 endangered or lost souls.The trouble is they
like the freedom of our world and are in no hurry to get back to the dullness
of Heaven.
Sadly, if they're caught slacking, they'll be straight back to
Hell, and there's a seraph who's going to keep an eye on them to make sure they
keep their shoulders to the wheel....
