[WP] The disappointment at finding out what actually happens after death	"So, this is it?" "Yup." "We just float around?" "Yup." "What the fuck? That's dumb. This is dumb." "Calm down. It gets better." "Can I eventually control where I float around? Or have a body or shape? Or like, interact with anything or anyone, or affect anything at all ever?" "No. Nothing like that. But after ...	18	20	17,284

[WP] The disappointment at finding out what actually happens after death	I'm quite familiar with death. I spent a third of my life in and out of it, staring at concrete, windowless walls and locked in solitary confinement. Coffin's a little bit of a tighter fit, but the principle's the same. Funny thing is, every afterlife people came up with, every religion thought that if an afterlife ...	5	20	17,286
[WP] The disappointment at finding out what actually happens after death	"What the fuck?" Hi! "AAAAAH! What the fuck?!" Don't be afraid. My name's Peter. "P-p-peter, like Saint Peter? Like the pearly gates guy?" Well, something like that. "I'm dead, aren't I?" Yes. "And now I'm in heaven?" No, sorry. "What?! Does...does that mean I'm in hell?!" Yes. "But I...	10	20	17,287
[WP] The disappointment at finding out what actually happens after death	The last thing I remember is closing my eyes in the hospital bed. It had been a long life, but I was ready to be done with it. I had been there for the last ten days, hooked up to all kinds of machines of which I could barely understand, let alone pronounce. I drew one last, painful breath, and then let it, and myself,...	1	20	17,288
[WP] The disappointment at finding out what actually happens after death	...I skipped the final words. Forgive me! The Lake and the Hall My memory is like a mountain lake, deep and clear and cold. I died, the lake told me. It was the wolves again, running as only they can, swift and happy. Their coats were shaggy after a long winter. If they were happy, I was terrified. That is how it g...	1	20	17,289

[WP] The disappointment at finding out what actually happens after death	I open my eyes. I'm laying on my back and staring at a white ceiling. As I sit up, I realize that it's not a ceiling. Or maybe it is. I can't tell. Everything is the same shade of off-white. I can't tell the sky from the ground or see any kind of horizon or source of light. It's disorienting, and it takes me a moment t...	1	20	17,291
[WP] The disappointment at finding out what actually happens after death	I blacked out and regained consciousness, the details of my life came flooding back. The air rushed into the pod. I was angry. "What the fuck was that?" asked Frank, a silver haired elderly man in a yellow jumpsuit rushed forward. "You tell me Frank! What were the settings on this thing? It felt like 'religiousity' a...	0	20	17,292
[WP] The disappointment at finding out what actually happens after death	I watched myself fade away, away from Earth, away from the noise. I finally opened my eyes. Nothing. I shut them and opened them again in disbelief. Nothing. A growing despair swept over me. "I spent my WHOLE LIFE believing and preaching something that was not true, some false hope about life after death. I wasted my w...	1	20	17,293

[WP] God has woken up from a centuries old nap and looks at the state of the world, and begins to speak with humans once more	"What has happened?", God asked himself, feeling nauseous as he looked down at the world. "When did it happen?" All he knew that he had become tired all of a sudden. Not that it was much of a surprise, he had expected to be after bringing his son, Jesus, through Hell back to Earth and after that to Heaven. It was one...	7	34	17,295
[WP] God has woken up from a centuries old nap and looks at the state of the world, and begins to speak with humans once more	“Sir! Sir!” “Eerghbfft. Whaaaat?” I had choked mid-snore. “Oh thank You for being awake! You have to see this Sir.” “What? Can’t you leave it to Jesus? Or Mary? Or one of the Twelve?” I growled. I always enjoyed my beauty sleep and hated being interrupted. “But, sir…” the angel hesitated, he hated interrupting God...	2	34	17,296
