HEAVEN
THE BOY WHO CRIED HEAVEN
Alex Malarkey’s book was it in the growing canon
of Heaven Tourism Lit until he recanted his trip
to Heaven Alex had spent 2 months in a coma after
a car crash & his best seller detailed encounters with
miracles angels +life beyond Alex was 6
I did not die I did not go to Heaven I just wanted attention
Alex has confessed His book is being taken out of print by his
publisher who had billed it as: A True Story
We live in a world where bizarre is the new normal +it seems
Heaven is much in demand Ditto rapture bliss buzz +garden
variety beatitude We are after all combing Mars for microbial
life festering in ancient lake-beds since the wet-period 3.5 billion
years ago
Gail Crator of NASA thinks the discovery of carbon based life is in the
offing though it is hard to know why finding Martian relations is a good
thing Do we really need more humanoids to subjugate?
Yet it does seem that 36 yr. old Marie G. & her 2 sons Cole (3) +Devon
(1 month) are in need of an augury of Heaven a home for wraiths
transcendence There is no way to analgize their story On Monday a small
jet staggered out of an azure sky & slammed into their house in Gaithersburg
It is thought that Angels cannot tell the difference between the dead + the living
So in the end why not just change the name of Alex Malarkey’s book to something
like: The Boy Who May Or May Not Have Been To Heaven & sell it anyway?
