Heaven and hell don't exist. Instead when we die, we go to a place where we are ranked by how we died.
Natural causes, murder, suicide, accidental (ranked by understandable to just stupid), etc. 
As you can imagine, this is a major shock to anyone recently deceased. In this case, a major shock to Ester and her husband, Corbin. You aren't supposed o be able to remember your past life. However, every story needs a twist. 
After Corbin's tragic loss of the ever so beautiful Ester, he has his own very sudden run-in with death. He is shocked to see the heaven he grew up hearing stories of not being anything he pictured. He is shocked to not be greeted by his dear wife and childhood pets and Mawmaw Sue and everything that was promised to him. Yet, no one else seems to be burdened and he can't find Ester anywhere. 

(This story has been marked for mature audiences due to mention of suicide, death, religion, and some harsh language. Thank you for reading, enjoy!)All Rights Reserved
