Purgatory-Traditionally thought of as a middle state between heaven and hell where souls of those who have died in a state of grace undergo limited torment to expiate their sins.

i know this isnt worthy of a ribbon but ive been wanting to do something like this for a while and i missed the afterlife challenge.
*post-voting edit- this actually did a lot better than i thought it would. i only wish people would stop trying to guess who did which picture during voting; i've seen several other entries where people said it looked like "joeys". even the 4th place person in this challenge. dont get me wrong, his stuff is awesome...but-
