The Five People You Meet in Heaven Page #2

see some faraway places, right?

I always wanted to do that.

I've never been more than

five miles from here.

Me, neither...

But that's gonna change.

Really?

I ain't spending the rest

of my life at Ruby Pier.

Marguerite...

You don't have to ask me.

I don't?

- Ask you what?

- To wait.

Just don't die, ok?

I ain't gonna die.

I ain't gonna die...

Eddie! Eddie!

I see it! I see it!

Get up there!

Alright everybody, stay calm...

stay calm!

Who's up there with ya?

Willie!

Okay, tell Willie to release

the safety bars...

green button, rear panel...

you got it?

Then send down that cart!

Everybody just stay calm...

Hydraulics, gears...

- cables...

- Rear panel, safety box...

It's the cable...

This will all be over

in a few minutes...

Don't release the cart...

it's gonna fall...

it's gonna fall!

Get back, all of ya's!

Get back! Back!

It's gonna fall! Get back!

Back! Move!

All of ya's, get back... move!

Get back, it's gonna fall!

This is a story about

a man named Eddie.

But the end of his life

was only the beginning.

Eddie saw nothing of his

final moment on earth...

He felt no pain from his death.

All he felt was lightness,

and calm...

as if every hurt he had

ever suffered...

had been washed away.

And then he woke up.

How about him,

ladies and gentlemen?

Have you ever seen

a more horrible sight?

Look well upon this savage!

He is not of the human race!

From the farthest corners

of the earth...

we bring you this tragic soul

for your examination...

Hello, Edward.

I have been waiting for you.

Eddie had seen this man

before in his life.

Don't be afraid...

don't be afraid.

He didn't know why

he was seeing him again.

Your body feels like

a child's, no?

You were a child

when you knew me...

that's why.

You start here with the same

feelings you had on earth.

You can't talk

when you first arrive.

God's little lesson, I suppose.

Helps you listen.

Tell me something.

The 'Bullwhip'.

Is it still the fastest

roller coaster on earth?

I figured as much.

Nothing changes here.

And there is no peering down

from the clouds, I'm afraid.

Yes.

You died.

An accident.

How long ago?

A minute. An hour.

A thousand years.

Where are you?

Where do you think?

Heaven.

There are five people you meet

in heaven, Edward.

Each one of us was

in your life for a reason.

People think of heaven

as a Garden Of Eden...

mountains, rivers.

But what is scenery

without solace?

This is the greatest gift

God can give you, Edward...

to understand your life

on Earth.

'Tis why you are here.

When I died, my life is

lluminated by five others.

And then I came here

to wait for you.

To tell you my story.
