Chapter 1 - His Arrival

I am but a simple man. I was born in Scotland then moved to Michigan where I moved to British Columbia.

My name is Jessus and I just got a job today as a secretary of state and federal law at the young age of 15. I walked out of my appartment complex and walked out into the street.

Then everything turned black. I felt a sharp pain in my sides and that was it. I'd been hit by a truck.

Then there was light and I heard a voice.

"Welcome to Walmart, my brother."

There was a man in front of me. He was wearing a Walmart uniform. Who was this strange man. Treating me like a brother.

"Who are you strange man?"

I was scared I believe I just died, but maybe I didn't after all.

"The name is Jerome I will be escorting you to the gates now where you will be explained along the with the other people here where you are and what you're gonna do for the rest of eternity."

I barely understood half of what he said. First off I started noticing that I wasn't alone there were around 50 other people here with me, but what the hell was he talking about. Eternity?

Other people around me took a notice of his words and started whispering. Such louds whispers even he must have heard them. Because he started speaking again right after.

"Please everyone relax, you are all simply dead and are some of the lucky few who got to spend their eternity in Walmart. Consider yourselves lucky."

I was going to spend eternity... In a fucking Walmart. The people around me started talking louder, some even yelling at Jerome.

"This must be some kind of joke!"

But it was no joke. The people soon realised that they were in fact dead. There was nothing they could do. They had met with the great equaliser.

Some fell on their knees, others started crying denying what deep down they knew was true.

After a while of this Jerome called out to us and we followed him like sheep.

The trip was long. It took us three days to get there. It felt like we were going around in circles constantly going through the same sections over and over again.

Eventually we arrived at a gate made with many different items. Through that gate we saw a metropolis. The streets were filled with people. All from different cultures, different ages and yet coexisting together in harmony. It was a sight to see.

We were led to the middle of the city where we entered a tower of which we could see the top.

Inside there were many workers, but it was all Walmart employees. Jerome led us all to a "briefing room" Where another man entered.

"Allow me to present myself. My name is Hunk, I am a floor supervisor and I will be explaining to you all what it is we do here."

We sat down and I looked around. There were massive windows with a great view of the city. Hunk started speaking again.

"All of you now are immortal and you will not die to any type of wound even if your entire body were to be pulverised."

"Is this heaven and if so can we meet god?"

I looked behind me for the person who said that. It looked like a Christian lady. Hunk spoke.

"Yes, you can meet the manager. Anyways good luck and goodbye."

He made us leave through another door and there I went up a few floors to an observation desk.

There weren't many people here, but I had a good view of the city. I could see the gate we came through, but even weirder then that there was a door that looked like the exit.

I was confused why would there be a door that lets people out of here?
