Something wrong, good sir?

Wrong? Of course something's wrong! I died! How am I supposed to not think something is wrong!? And let me guess, you're here to take me to those pearly gates or the brimstone torture chamber I'm destined for for eternity?

Mm, something like that sir. There will be more to it than that, but ultimately yes I suppose.

Oh I see. Here to judge me. Isn't that God's thing though?

That it is, sir. The decision was made a long, long time ago. I'm just here to verify that decision, yes. I believe a more simply way of explaining it is when you are filling out a digital form, and you are given a prompt or an email to confirm the action.

So, this is the final judgment? After everything, this is it?

More or less.

...

I ask again, is something wrong?

...You ever lived on Earth? With the people? Or were you always some divine Guardian "judging" people?

...I venture down there sometimes. Enough to know where you may be going with this line of questioning.

Then you should know that I'm not okay! I... I had years ahead of me. Right? Probably not, since I’m here, but still! I had family! Friends! A livelihood!

...

I just... don't feel ready to go... Even if nobody cared, I don't want to go.

Oh but they did care sir! Beyond words! Even now, they grieve for the loss of you. You aren't wrong, you had years you could've lived. And they know that. But, as you say, "God works in mysterious ways". Take it from me, you certainly aren't wrong about that!

...

...Ahem. I understand your pain. Really. Forgive this old thing for trying to comfort you with your own metaphors and such. Considering your circumstances, it's understandable for you to feel such a way. You feel taken away from everything too soon. Perhaps you have. Even I can't be sure of that. Things involving the sins and miracles have been growing rather chaotic even for us lately.

...Can I ask you something?

Of course.

Why does cancer exist?

Why do atheists exist? To be a challenge. To be an aspect of your daily lives. To show you the error and the answer to your behavior and ways.

...

I meant what I said, you know. I would never lie about that. It's not just your family grieving right now. Your friends as well. And the people whose lives you've touched. All those people you entertained with your games and stories. Even the people who don't even realize your influence yet. They're all grieving for the lost of you. Because you inspired them. Made them laugh. Made them cry. Made them smile. They mourn for you. You were a light in their lives, and they feel they've lost that light. But your fire is still burning through them, the sparks you ignited with your light. You may not have a statue in your name, but you will surely not be forgotten by them.

...

...I just wish I could tell them I was okay now. I... want to see them again...

...You can. Why do you think so many people believe in ghosts? And even if they don't see you when you visit them, they will get their chance to see you when their time comes. It's not the end for you, sweet soul. Only a new start.

...

...S-so, no brimstone for me?

No brimstone for you, good sir. Just some time to accept these changes is needed here.
