BeNaCom - Beginners’ Narrative Compilations

“Ring!” The alarm clock rang. A few thoughts ran through my weary mind. Cancer had been slowly eating through me every single day of my tormenting life. The pain was unbearable.

I tried to open my eyes and face another day of pain and suffering. But I could not. Instead, suddenly, all the pain disappeared. I felt a feeling of weightlessness as if my soul had left my body. Suddenly, a brilliant white light blinded me. Was I dreaming?

All of a sudden, the light faded and a huge voice beamed out of every corner. “Vivien, do you know who I am?”

“God? Is that you?” I responded anxiously.

“Yes, my child, my creation. Your time has come. All the pain and suffering must now end, that is if you pass the test of Heaven!” replied the voice.

“What?” I asked in disbelief. “Does this mean I’m dead?”

“Look down below, Vivien. Behold.” The voice commanded.

Upon looking down, I saw my family. My parents and my two sisters weeping by my bed. Sadness engulfed me. What were they doing? They were mourning and crying their hearts out over… ME! I could see myself lying motionless on my bed.

“Well… What now?” I asked quite impatiently. “How do I take this test of Heaven? I certainly don’t want to burn in hell, please!” I said.

Without warning, I suddenly felt a burning sensation at my feet. “Ouch!” I screamed, jumping around like a tribal dancer.

“Ha-ha… Welcome to hell Vivien! I’ve been expecting you. Remember all those evil things you did while you were still alive? Remember how you rejected and challenged God? I know them all, Vivien… I know them all!!!” Another voice rang.

It was the devil! Fuck no!

“Come with me, Vivien. This is your final chance… Come with me or you will die another time, in a more horrifying way! Ha-ha…” The devil commanded.

Suddenly, the devil transformed into an extremely and stunningly good looking young man! His body was so well built that his beauty was unrivalled!

“Come on, Vivien! Hell is not as bad as what you heard… We have pubs, casinos, karaoke centers and all the fun places you enjoy going to. The best of all, Adrien is in hell too and expecting you to Gunbound or Dota with him in Hell. It will be just like living on earth all over again. Forget heaven! All people do there is play harps all day long. Bah! Gah! Boring!” persuaded the devil.

I was taken aback with the temptation. “Wow, it sounds really good! But wait… No way! What am I thinking? I wan to go to heaven no matter what! Stay away you satanic devil! Piss off, back to hell!” I bravely retorted.

“Noooooooo… Another soul lost!” whined the devil as he pathetically withdrew.

Suddenly, the heat turned into comfortable coolness and everything became calm again.

“Congratulations, my child. I knew you could do it. You have passed the test and are now officially a member of Heaven!” said God.

Heaven is truly a great place. Clean atmosphere, great facilities and picturesque surroundings. It makes a dream place for anyone. I was thrilled to be here. I was extremely glad that I made the right choice, and for those who are dying or already dead, don’t be fooled by the devil’s temptation. I strongly recommend going to heaven!
