            I offer you a choice. The thundering voice is kind. Stay here forever… or leave and never return.

            Your soul aches. You are so tired. To stay is to have peace…

            Where is he? you ask. You cannot be content if you do not know—you’ve spent a lifetime—eternity—concerned with him. You can’t turn your back now.

            There is a pause in everything; time stops. He is gone, the voice finally says, and time resumes.

            Gone? The word must be wrong. Gone where? You beat back panic; it is a simple misunderstanding, nothing more.

            The voice answers softly, Into oblivion.

            You can choose Heaven or the Earth—the war is over and there is no Hell anymore. But he is not there. He is not anywhere.

            To choose Heaven is to have peace; to choose Earth is to have life.

            But neither is Sam.

            Send me to him, you say.

            There was never another option.
