The spirit world comes in view as thousands of souls line up in queues waiting for their turn to get purified and ordained fit to live in the spirit realm. Gabriel, the leader of all Guardians who purifies souls and makes them fit to live among other souls in the spirit world shows up in the Guardian court room to attend to the dead souls.
What's your name madam? Gabriel addresses the first Ghost on the queue..... and what's the No on the tag given to you? The first ghost who's a lady calmly replies him. My name is Anna Williams. She quickly scans through her tag..... the no on my tag is 21. Gabriel carefully goes through 'the book of records' in his possession in search of her tag No. The book contains the records of the life history of dead souls who are no longer alive. Hmmm, I see. he turns his gaze on her. So, you're Anna Williams who lived at No 20, Bright Land Street, Sun City right? Said he. The ghost nodded in confirmation. Yes, that's me. He glances through his record once again and speaks aloud..... Your Date and time of death, 'June 15th, 2018 at 2:30pm mid-day; cause of death: 'suicide'...….
if I may ask Madam, what were your reasons for attempting suicide which eventually led to your death? The ghost begins to tear up. I didn't mean to do it. She said...…. you see, it wasn't easy for me living as a single parent. When I was alive, I had to cope with a lot of things...… like being sexually abused by my ex-husband. I struggled so hard and tried to make ends meet for me and my two kids but unfortunately, I was scammed of all my money and possession. I couldn't bear the pain of having to start all over again... So, I made the decision to take….my….my...… (pauses)....i had to take my lif...….Gabriel interrupted her. So, you thought the best way to end your Ordeal was to end your life?
The ghost speaks remorseful..... I'm so sorry. Gabriel answered. Anyway, I'm sure you're regretting your actions now. So, I will give you a chance to make amends. The ghost signed in relief. Does that mean I won't be damned for all eternity? He replied. No dear. You won't be dammed but according to our rules, I can only purify you and pronounce you fit to live in the spirit world on one condition...…. And what will that be? ...... she asked anxiously.
You will be given a task to perform. he said. The ghost stared puzzlingly at him. A task?.... he smiled. Just Relax. It's not much of a task anyway.... So, what will I be doing? she asked eagerly. You will have to travel back to the human world and bring along with you the souls of the dead which are still roaming about on the earth. replied Gabriel. How do I find these souls and convince them to accompany me to the spirit world? she said. I will assign you to the head of the grim reapers. He will lead you on what to do. he answered.
The ghost nodded in satisfaction. ok. She then left the queue for Gabriel to address the next Ghost. A young man in his early 20's speaks calmly..... I'm next. Said Gabriel. What's your name 'young man'? I'm Steven Morgan. Said the ghost. Hmmm. Steven Morgan...…. And what's your no on your tag? The ghost scanned through his tag no in his hand and quickly replied..... that will be No 48.
Gabriel checks 'the book of records' to confirm his No..... You're Steven Morgan who lived at No 12, Sweet town, 'Merry Island'. Date and time of death: June 18th, 2019 at 9:00am dawn. Cause of death: car accident. Accomplishment: A medical doctor who had saved countless number of lives. You have an honest and decent personality. You've helped countless number of homeless people...… (he smiled at him) good job pal...… Now, come forward for your purification. He appeared before Gabriel to get purified as Gabriel raises the Aura of light (a magical scepter which radiates pure light and brightness) and placed it on the fore head of the young ghost as he exclaimed aloud. I, Gabriel! The guardian of the spirit world and cleanser of souls thereby purify you today and henceforth...…. pronounce you fit to live in the spirit world! You're now a free born citizen of the Spirit world. The ghost quickly bows as he takes his leave. The next ghost in line quickly came forward to be judged..... and your name is? asked Gabriel.
An elderly man of about 60 years of age speaks up.... I'm Lawson Parker. he said. Gabriel stared at him intently..... You're Lawson Parker?! The Ghost nodded in affirmation. Yes, I am
Gabriel exclaimed. The Famous notorious politician turned terrorist?! The ghost began to stammer..... i….er...….
Gabriel cuts him off. To tell you the truth, I was never a fan of your political madness...…. you caused so much pain and sorrows in the heart of people when you were alive. You sure were a pain the ass... you sure don't know when to call it quit, don't you?.....Anyway, what's the no on your tag? He quickly checks his tag and answered..... No 326
Gabriel goes through his book of record and then said to him..... you're Lawson Parker who resides at No 52, Estate town, Glorious Island. Date and time of death, 'June 21st, 2019 at 10:15am dawn: cause of death, 'heart Attack'. Accomplishment: A politician and terrorist who trains and sponsor terrorist groups to destroy lives and properties. You also sponsor kidnappers and robbers to steal, frighten and kill people depraving them of a better life.... Oops, there's absolutely no way you're going to get purified now.
The ghost begins to lament..... Oh, I'm done for! Now, about your punishment, you have to wait till 'the lord of punishment' arrives. He's the one in charge of assigning punishment to offenders like you. He's gone on a special assignment and will not be back till dawn.... Said Gabriel with a smile. So, you will have to wait till he returns...…. He quickly stood up from his seat to make an announcement. Hey, Guys listen! We need to take a break now! I will meet you here in an hours' time! You're hereby dismissed! The dead souls began to murmur to themselves as they exit the queue one after the other.
