Last Judgement

Last Judgement

The doctor at the side table put the defibrillator down, they are standing at the side of the bed 

with tears in their eyes and are kneeling down at the body shaking their heads and asking god 

why did this happen. The person on the table looks pale and cold. It is me, or was me now that I 

stand here looking. There isn’t any radiant, glowing and warming light grabbing me? I haven’t

floated above my body as the stories were told in my life so I stand here wondering what to do. 

They look above at the hospital ceiling but I am standing beside my body, I am here I shout but 

they cannot hear or see me.  

A holographic door appears in the middle of the room as it tears apart the fabric of the 

universe. There is just darkness in the door and a man appears from it with a funky techno 

jacket from the 60’s  carrying some kind of small book in his hand which appears to be a 

portfolio. He is wearing dark glasses and has greasy hair.

‘Elo my gem’ he said

‘Excuse me who are you?' I said

‘My pet, all will be explained, hmmmmm you were a corker in your life weren't you’ he said 

closing the portfolio.

‘You can hear me, they can’t why?’ I said

‘My pet you are dead, we are in a different place from them you see’ He said

‘No I don’t see and why have you no wings like angels are supposed to have?’ I said

‘Angel?  Oh Angels’ he started to laugh. ‘I always get asked that question, but it never ceases 

to make me laugh pet when you lot do say that!’ He said

'You lot? Look are going to answer any questions at all?' I said

He took his glasses off to wipe them, but there were no eyes. I could see just two black holes 

within them. I wasn’t scared as I could no longer feel emotion.

But looking into the two black holes deeper and deeper seemed to be the gateway into the 

universe. I could see planets and the vastness of beautiful stars. I was mesmerised by their 

beauty and could feel the light calling me into it. But he put the glasses back on.

‘What are you?’ I said

He started to laugh.

‘You have done many good deeds in your life my pet, helped many people, and given people 

great happiness.  It’s a pity the car got you, but it was your time’. He said

‘What do you mean the car? Are you taking me to heaven?’ I said

He started to laugh again. I wished he would stop doing that I thought. I have

died and have no idea what is going on and this strange man who isn’t an angel is laughing at 

me I thought.

They behind began to leave the room, with tissues in their hands and darkened eyes, and the 

body I used to have was left on the table covered up with a cloth. The machinery was switched 

off.

He led me out of the room into the main hospital; doctors were rushing about and porters were 

carrying stretchers’ up and down the corridors. People were dashing around from room to 

room, equipment, voices shouting and revolving doors being shut and opened. I could see a 

man lying on the table at the side of the corridor who was dying slowly, his breathing was 

becoming more and more deep. Beside him I could see a strange creature which looked like a

goblin sitting on his arm. It was the size of a book and had long ears like the devil. It was 

grinning away and I could see he was eating this black substance that was floating from the 

man’s body.

‘What is that?’ I said

A bubble appeared around us like a force field of protection and the green goblin jumped up 

and began to dig into the ground to make a hole like a rabbit and scurried into it.

‘It’s gone lovely’ he said.

‘Look why don’t you answer any of my questions?’ I said

‘That creature was a Nashtag they come to collect those who have not acted right, well haven’t 

done what they are supposed to do, but he won’t harm you my pie’ he said.

‘That thing didn’t have a book, like what you have’ I said

‘Well the ‘man’ love didn’t do anything worth nothing so was taken to replenish the earth, so that h

e wasn’t a complete waste then…’He said

‘So you mean that thing ate his soul?’ I said

‘You could say that, my gorgeous.’ It is time for you to go.  Do you wish to say goodbye to 

anyone before I take you?' He said.

I stood inside the bubble and could only think of a face. There was a face but I could not 

remember anything of the past.

‘I see him, you had great love for him’. He said

‘You can see the man when I close my eyes, but who is he?’ I said

‘It can be done, your book is thick enough for that. I will give you those memories you have of 

him and the days of which you can live for in eternity within me’. He said

‘What are you?’ I said

‘Haven’t you figured it out? My sweetheart I am the universe from which you came from, the 

matter of which time and space were created, and came in the façade of something which I 

thought would be of some entertainment’ he said laughing. ‘I always wanted to come dressed l

like this. You and everything else are all a part of me but some do not do what they are meant 

to do so the Nashtag take them away for me.’  He said.

He then took his glasses off and I could see the vastness of the universe sparking like gems, 

such colour mesmerizing to my chest I could feel myself being drawn to the purple, blue and 

gold colours that was sparkling. The memories of the past like a rainbow came in front of my 

eyes. Jack, Jack thatwas him. The man I loved, I love there he was. He was there and I could 

see his lovely face, the green eyes that was full of passion and his lovely brown

hair. He hand his hand out for me to grab so I grabbed it and I knew that I had

reached heaven.
