After 100 years of Heaven, Angelica’s heart ached for missing friends.
Sure, Joe was gay but he made everyone’s day brighter.
Zahra was Muslim but was the kindest person she’d ever known.
Keeyana spewed expletives but was such a hoot.
She looked around at all the faces, white like her.
All the same. Nothing to learn.
No way to grow.
Angelica snuck out of the pearly gates.
Her friends were waiting for her outside with bottles of wine.
It was as they held her that she realized she’d been in Hell that whole time.
