So I have received a dose of poison and I am slowly dying. My body is slowing down and seizing up. I can feel my muscles and joints hardening... Dying. <\/em><\/p>\n

As I\u2019m going, my father is holding me and I\u2019m crying. I\u2019m asking him questions. \u201cWill I go to heaven? Tell [REDACTED<\/span>] I\u2019ll miss her.\u201d <\/p>\n

I can feel my body going, my vision fading. It\u2019s all darkness. <\/p>\n

I\u2019m crying and I say \u201cOh Daddy...\u201d <\/p>\n

Then I die. <\/p>\n

Complete blackness. <\/p>\n

The next moment there is light and music. I can hear \u201cOscillate Wildly\u201d by The Smiths. I look down at my feet. I\u2019m standing on a tile floor. I look around. <\/p>\n

The Grim reaper strolls by and says \u201cWelcome to Hell... er, I mean Limbo. Sorry.\u201d<\/p>\n

I am in Hell. And Hell is a grocery store.<\/p>\n

Shelves. Produce. Boxes. Sterile Muzak. <\/p>\n

Instead of a shopping cart, I push a gurney. My body is stretched out on it.<\/p>\n

I push the gurney up and down the aisles and the dream loses form...<\/p>\n

[Note: Where I feel it is appropriate or relevant, I\u2019ll include the names of people who show up in my dreams. In some cases, however, it may be prudent to redact these \u2014 as I\u2019ve done here.]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
