As I sat in my cozy living room, surrounded by the familiar comforts of home, I suddenly heard a knock at the door. I rose from the couch, wondering who it could be, and made my way to the entrance. I asked who was at the door but I heard nothing in reply.
Standing before me, with a bright smile and sparkling eyes, was none other than my brother, who died a week ago. Success himself!
"What...what are you doing here, I thought you were dead, how come you're alive now?" I asked in great astonishment.
"Hey sis, aren't you happy to see me, I just came by to let you know something!" He replied still with a big smile on his face
But that wasn't the only shocker - beside him stood a talking parrot, perched on his shoulder, chirping away in perfect English. "Hey, darlin', what's shakin'?" the parrot squawked, as Success chuckled and said, "Hey, sis, don't worry, I'll let you know everything that is happening"
Soon he began his narration:
"I was dead, yes, but the master resurrected me. I woke up to a perfect environment where animals talk to other humans and there's plenty of food, clean water, no one gets sick, everyone's heart desire is satisfied by the master. No one gets Old or dies there, they only play with other humans and animals, both domestic and wild, they eat and whatever they want because the place is filled with a lot of delicacies, the best part is families are super united and each one has built their own houses and are living in them. There's no pain, no suffering, no sorrow. Laughter fills the air.
The only people I see there are good people who has tried their best to obey the master, he opens his arms and satisfies their heart desires so that nothing is lacking!"
I still couldn't believe, I thought I was dreaming, in fact I was completely mute after he said all these, but I still managed to ask: "Are lions and bears and snakes also there?"
He said, "Yes, but they are all very humble and friendly now, they no longer hurt even a fly!" I can take you there now, he added!
"Really, But I thought it was only for those who had died before?" I asked!
But he said: "No, not only for those previously dead, there are a lot of people who never died but are there with their families, it's a very interesting place, trust me, it's just like the garden of Eden but there is no forbidden tree, except everyone lives by the instructions of the master which is for everyone's good too. It's a real thing!"
His enthusiasm and everything made me believe him and I asked him to take me there to see for myself. On our way going, I was hearing my name called out loudly,
"Mary! Mary! Mary wake up, it's already 7:00 am and you're still sleeping, you need to do your morning chores!" This was my mom waking me up to real life, IT WAS ALL A DREAM!
