I didn't think it would end this way. No, the journey doesn't end here. Death is just another

path, one that we all must take. The gray rain curtain of this world rolls back, and all turns to silver glass.

And then you see it. What? And see what? White shores and beyond, a far green country, into a swift

sunrise. That isn't so bad. No, no, it isn't.
