******Note to Reader******
This book is not meant to shame any religion whatsoever. I just really like new thoughts of what happens in the afterlife, and the shock that a devoted Christian would go through if there really was no God. So, with that being said, take this story with a pinch of salt. I respect any and all concepts of religion, so please respect this concept too. Take care! ~Aspen
