The Five People You Meet In Heaven

Edward, or Eddie, for short is the head of the maintenance department at the Ruby Pier, and amusment park. A few weeks earlier, Eddie's doctor told him that he had 'shingles'. Not knowing what on eath that was, he shrugged it off and continued with his life, greasing tracks and making sure that every ride in the park was safe. The park had a new ride, called Freddie's Free Fall, and this would be where Eddie would be killed, in an accident that would make newspapers around the state. When he died, he met five people in heaven whom he influenced, and who influenced him. There was the 'Blue Man', given that nickname because his skin was blue, his old captain, who together they fought in the war, an old woman, who he had no recounting of except that the park he worked in had her name and her picture, his wife, who he had a lengthy conversation with and, a little girl, whom during the war, he only caught a glimpse of her shadow but could not save her though he wanted to because of a raging fire.

All endings are also beginnings. We just don't know it at the time.
