Hey, Ho, to Heaven I Would Go

by Christopher T. Dabrowski

Translated from Polish by Julia Mraczny


Mark died and wasn't aware of it. He just sat surprised to see that he was unstuck from his body still lying on the bed.

After a while, he slowly rose higher and higher.

Next was what he had so far often read about - a tunnel and escorting angels or other beings to the light at its end.

Then the obligatory life overview - full of suffering, unfulfillment, missed opportunities and disappointments.

Frankly, he was glad to have it behind him.

"I'm glad I finally made it to Heaven," he confessed frankly.

"You came here from Heaven," informed the Luminous Being.
