Workshop # 1: Heaven's Plight

Heaven's Plight

I ring the bell here every night. I pull kid's toes, fill them with fright.
I feel I was taken for a fool. I'm not an angel, i'm just a ghoul that's stuck in this place and I wonder Why? I'm stuck with plain tourists, the same dead type.
I was first received here by a guy named Peter, a hippie looking fella. He was the greeter. 
I wondered where in this Heaven there could be a God, but I guess He/ She was hiding between all this fog. 

This being dead business is another routine. I'm just not as famous in the trade as that dude, Guillotine.
At least now I finally get to know my answers...  Like.. Did Santa really have a reindeer named Prancer? 

No, but seriously, I feel like I am torn. Heaven is as sadomasochistic as amateur porn. When I was alive It had a certain allure, now I'm also in training for giving Celestial tours. 

I'm hoping that I will finally get out of the pod, to ask that All Knowing Deity the ultimate though, to please answer my questions when it was my turn.. now that my Earthly remains are stored in an urn. 

"Yes. Anything." He spoke with a nod. "Go on."

I just thought before speaking "Just give me a chance". He sat there. Almighty. He gave me a glance.

Then all just went dark.. and I though.. hold on .. I opened my eyes.. had I just been pushed... on?

WHaaaaaaah! I said and he grinned... 

Whaaaaaahhh! .. no wait a second .. Thats not what I mean. 

Whaaaaaah! I tried again ... No no wait , Hold on..  

He laughed , and he nodded..  he said "Yes my Son?"

To what I replied: What on Earth do you mean!?

he responded: The answer to life is closer than what it seem. 

"Is this just a joke, or is this just a pun? Oh wait NOW I get .No fair! I'm REBORN??!!"

  1. Lol, still just as hilarious, but not as much so as when you read it for us in the workshop. It's in desperate need of its author to narrate it, lol, but other than that, great work, as a--oh, you know, the same-old thing I always say for you, Camille! =D

  2. Oh, I almost forgot: I was somehow fondly reminded of The Hunchback of Notre Dame, and the song that Quasimoto sings before the even more amazing Hellfire, by Judge Claude Frollo. The first line especially confirmed this coincidence: "I ring the bell here every night." Or was it a coicidence...hmm???
