Celestial-beings Stories

The moment arrived without warning, without fanfare, without the slow creep of doom. Every clock on Earth, from the atom-precise instruments in national labs to the cheap digital readouts on microwave ovens, froze at the exact same millisecond. Not just the measurement of time, but time itself seemed to stop. The cacophony of eight billion human lives-the traffic, the music, the arguing, the breathing-was replaced by an absolute, crushing silence. In that unnatural pause, every single human being on the planet between the ages of eighteen and thirty-six vanished. One moment they were at their desks, walking their dogs, or scrolling through their phones; the next, they were gone.

In the Beforelife, before the souls were born, they were briefed about how their lives would turn out. If they deemed their happiness would outweigh the pain they would endure in their lives, they would be born. If they refused the proposal, they would be sent to roam mindlessly over the Neitherworld until their names were called again. This was the Fate of Grace Adler, and other souls she saw in the Beforelife. - TW: mentions of violence and torture, rape and prostitution, war, suicidal thoughts.

On the outskirts of a small town on Vancouver Island, Canada, there had been several inexplicable sightings of what can only be described as an "angel." On each occasion, the witnesses had been exclusively females and their reporting of the apparition had been consistent and perplexing to authorities. Out of a "bright light" in the forest, the women reported, would step a "beautiful young woman." Seen to be simply dressed and without coat or gloves in the cold of winter, she would timidly approach them to make a special request. The phenomenon would not go away nor be restricted to Canada as the reporting spread across an unfathomable distance and with impressive consequences that would ultimately change the world. Each of the women who witnessed the phenomenon over the next months confirmed the stunning character to be shockingly engulfed in a nimbus of light. Yet her appearance left them feeling "peaceful," and "beguiled." More sightings would continue across the continents, and by year's end, extraordinary stories by other women had amassed globally---all about the elusive young figure they would simply call "The Winter Angel."

Those who wish for power will seek fame and riches but, a legend wishes for a second chance. Maybe even more if faith allows it.
