Heaven and Hell

By its definition, you are unable to define Heaven in terms that actually make up its property. It is a place of contradictions and constantly folding in on itself. Timeless, yet aged. Beautiful, but without description. Walking forever, and still never going anywhere.
When one tries to describ what Heaven is, they are limited to words and physical limits that cannot be used in a secular way. Because Heaven is what you make of it. It is what you want, because it can be anything you want.
Time does/not pass by. Upon entering, one's grasp of the concept of time leaves them, because it is no longer needed. How long they've been there could be hours or years or centuries and it would have little meaning either way. Angels who travel to earth only experience time on earth, because that is the only place it truly exists for them. When an angel is sighted multiple times, for them they may not even notice that years have gone by, or maybe even if they haven't been on earth before. They could very well be there at one point and then again twenty years early with neither being "first" for them.
Those in Heaven can become angels, but will not be reborn to the human plane should they do so. Angels can be killed (they cannot, really, "die") and they can return to being an angel or choose instead to incarnate.
Hell
Hell is hard. Concrete. Once there you experience whatever it is that will fill your unlife for as long as you deem it. You will can lose track of time, but you know it exists there, because you know it is happening.
The kicker comes when one realizes that their time in Hell, or however one labels it, is that they bring themselves there and decide their own "punishment". Some go because they truly belong, but many send themselves because they've seen themselves to have "sinned", regardless that many strikes as defined by man are not equivicated in the afterlife. Satan is not your tormentor, mearly the landlord.
Demons are those whose time in Hell have worn against their being so long as to remake them in its image. Not that the longer your there the more monsterous you become. Not even that you even will become demonesque. But if you feel that you should or that you can or will not fight Hell's presence, then one can easily begin to absorb traits that would easily label one a demon or devil.
While a demon could gain or grow wings, they would only be extensions of their arms or feet or some appendage. Only true fallen angels will have wings in addition to arms and legs.
- "What is Heaven like? Imagine you're trying to solve a Rubix cube. Only the Rubix cube has an infinte amount of sides made up of thousands of millions of squares that are not squares. Each side is made up of M.C. Escher's Relativity, and each piece will only fit with their specific side. No matter how hard you try, you cannot actually touch the cube. And the cube is made of smoke."

Hell
- "Hell is defined by the passsage of time and senses you have; what's the point of unending torment if you don't know it's happening or how long?"
