Just a quick note. I'd like to thank Dannyoneal for creating a great prologue for this book. But unfortunately since their account had been deactivated I'll need to post what they wrote here for it.

The pain was unbearable, but George couldn't let that distract him. He was taking some painkillers to ease the pain but not enough to put him into comatose. Other people would want to be completely knocked out on this occasion, but George knew he had to concentrate. He knew his last thoughts had to be focused entirely on God or else he would be back on earth, reincarnated into a new body.

And seeing that he was in one of Paul's houses in LA, he'd probably be reborn as some spoiled Hollywood producer's child with too many expensive toys to learn to die properly the next time around. And after what happened over two months ago back on September 11th, he definitely wouldn't want to stay and grow up on this planet anymore.

His family, Olivia and Dhani were there with him, as was his old friend Ravi and his daughter Anoushka, keeping him calm with sitar music. Many of his friends from the temple he always attended were there as well, chanting the Maha Mantra. George believed that if he kept chanting or at least heard the Mantra while on his deathbed, he could break out of the cycle of samsara forever and pass on to Heaven.

"Chant the Lord's name and you'll be free."

George had been fading in and out of conscience all day and was worried about dying in his sleep. Soon his eyelids began to feel heavy again, he knew it was it for him. Looking over at his wife and son, George uttered his last words. "Love one another."

Closing his eyes one final time, George continued to chant, even as his breath began to weaken and give out, everyone else joining in as well. "Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna. Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare. Hare Rama, Hare Rama."

"You can stop that now you Elementary penguin, you're here."

George instantly recognized the voice he hadn't heard for over twenty years. Upon opening his eyes, he saw his old friend John Lennon staring down at him, squinting.

"John! Is it really you?"

"No, it's Ozzy here astral projecting, of course it's me you nit!" John joked, pulling George into a bear hug. "I knew that today would be when you'll finally come so I was waiting for hours here for ya Geo."

"Oh John you.. You're naked.." George was too busy being overjoyed about seeing John again to notice it the first time, he then pulled out of the hug in disgust.

"What?"

'This is the way you greet me? The first thing I see hereafter is your private parts? lovely John, just lovely."

"You never minded living in that tiny room in the back of that old German porno theater you old woman." John chuckled, shaking his head, John somehow changed his appearance to look like how he was back in 1975, and thankfully was clothed as he changed. "This better?"

"How.. How did you do that?" George asked, shocked at how John became younger.

"Souls reflect memories, so you can look any way you remember yourself. that's why you still look so old and sick, your most recent memory was you on your deathbed."

After hearing this, George began to think of a happier time, sometime when Dhani was born. He felt the wrinkles on his face tighten up, his hair growing back into the perm he had in the late seventies. "Wow.. I feel twenty years younger now."

"Looks like you've found out how to change on your own. Though I must say, that Brian May poodle haircut looks a lot more obscene than my willy."

Taking a look around, George saw that it looked almost like his old garden back at Friar Park, but what really caught his attention was the snow white sky with clouds that one would see on an old Chinese vase. Even though they were outside, he felt like was in an air conditioned building. "Must be climate controlled up here.. So this is Heaven."

"That's right."

"But where's God?"

"Umm.. Everywhere really. I mean you did sing about how anyroad will take you here and-"

"I know he's all around us, but I mean, I would love to meet him personally. Can I? I was kinda expecting to do that."

"Well you can, I bet he heard your song and was waiting for you all these years. I'll take you to see him, along with Stu, Linda, Maureen, your Mum and Dad, the whole standard package."

"Does the standard package include your package? Cause I didn't expect to see that." George laughed, even after that peep show, he was still happy to see his old, murdered friend again. "I never expected to see you without your glasses again. I'm shocked to see you here period. You did you break free from the cycle of rebirth? I know I sang anyroad will take you there but you being agnostic and all wrote stuff like 'Imagine there's no Heaven' and 'God is a concept by how we measure our pain'."

"To be honest I'm not really sure about how the whole thing works. Reincarnation exists but I don't know if it's a cycle or if one can choose whether or not they can come back to earth in a new body. I've been dead for twenty one years and I still haven't had everything all figured out. You'll have to ask God about this. As for my glasses, you don't have cancer anymore and I don't have those holes in my back, so why should my shortsightedness be any different. I still wear them for fun though. But anyways, lets go meet everyone, crack open a beer and watch your dumping ceremony."

"My funeral you mean. The shattering of my ashes in the sacred river? After all these years you've still got that same amount of tact John."

"It's true though, your body's being dumped in with the industrial waste and gobbled up by the fish."

"It's better than collecting dust on Yoko's mantel."

"At least it's a nice mantel in a million dollar apartment well away from any elephant manure."

"You're trying to get me mad but it isn't working. I know you're just taking the piss."

"Indeed, collecting the urine Master Harrison." John said in a posh voice while fluttering his eyelashes.

"Well anyways, lets just go and reunite with everyone. Just don't tell my parents about your little nude escapade."

"Don't worry I won't. but I'm definitely telling Mum otherwise I lose the bet."

"What?!"

"Just kidding Geo."
