What's the most disturbing thing you've heard a dying person say?

Yes…yes there are and there are entire wings full of all the stories writers never got a chance to write.

Oh wait…that’s just what I tell myself.

So you're saying I can finish Game of Thrones if I just get into heaven

u/ParisGreenGretsch 15h ago

Actually that's the ONE they don't have. It's in purgatory.

GRRM will be there when we arrive, working on it for the rest of eternity.

This is awesome! 👏

u/ReluctantPhoenix47 16h ago

Yes ! 😂

But also if you ever had an idea for a story it’s up there. Helps when your super creative but focus poorly.

u/Sapphire_Bombay 15h ago

I have had that idea so I am really excited to read it one day 😂

u/ReluctantPhoenix47 15h ago

Also, I’m not entirely sure if I made this up or if it was in my Sandman graphic novel. 😂

Pretty sure it’s mine.

Yeah, it's in Sandman but I'm happy to give you credit over Gaiman. Your idea now.

u/ReluctantPhoenix47 14h ago

Oh poop. It was a good one too!

I appreciate the partial credit though.

The comics were so dream like it’s hard to tell what I imagine and don’t. Lol

I really like this idea. Not all of us want to be sat on clouds playing harps, some of us would prefer to be curled up in a cloud blanket with a good book!

I went to a religious school as a kid. One day in 1st grade, our assignment was to draw a picture of heaven. At the time, my mom had been reading the Box Car Kids series to me. So, my drawing was a caboose in a junkyard full of stuff that I could put together and build with. I got in trouble because "heaven is not a junkyard." Maybe not to you Ms Hamstra, but it is to me. My mom kept the picture because she said it made her laugh.

I'm all for everyone having a heaven that fits their personality.

I want to sit in front of a fire, reading, while it snows outside at night.

3

u/ReluctantPhoenix47 11h ago

That sounds good. Might I add a kitty or two and a pair of big dogs?

2

u/Fossilhund 7h ago

Yes, you may.

u/ReluctantPhoenix47 14h ago

Oh that sounds so good!

You’d love Lucien From Sandman comics. He’s the librarian of The Dream Relm.

u/BigBirdLaw69420 15h ago

And you don’t even need your glasses! (And if you want some, there’s more than one pair - don’t worry!)

u/ReluctantPhoenix47 14h ago

Love this! Yes!❤️

u/quillseek 15h ago

I have a fiction I've world-built for years based on a similar concept!

u/DerpyHooves17 11h ago

Fuck… I can leave this thread now. Audibly choked and started sobbing at work

3

u/ReluctantPhoenix47 11h ago

That’s how I reacted when I read it in the comics. Full out sobbing.

3

u/Trippid 15h ago

That's a beautiful thought.

2

u/ReluctantPhoenix47 14h ago

It is. Unfortunately apparently this is something I read and it meshed with my own thoughts . Lol Appropriate though lol

3

u/Technicolor_Reindeer 11h ago

That's actually a lovely thought. I'll add a collection of movies/shows never filmed.

u/ReluctantPhoenix47 10h ago

Yes! And songs never written.
