Heaven Bound Airlines

Heaven Bound Airlines by ric gustafson.


Charlie woke up, opened his eyes and tried to focus on his surroundings.
" Charlie".
He turned his head and noticed a stewardess staring at him. " Charlie" she said as she smiled at him.
" Yes" he replied as he looked around. It appeared that he was on an airplane.
" Charlie, can I get you anything?".
" How do you know my name?".
" I know everybody on this flight" she exclaimed as she helped another customer.
" Where am I Angeline?" he asked as he noticed her nametag.
" You are on Heaven Bound Airlines and we are heading for home".
" Home" Charlie thought for a moment as she put a pillow behind his tired head. " Where is home?".
" Heaven of course, everyone on this flight is going to the same destination".
" Who are these other people?".
" Other christians just like yourself, going home".
Charlie remembered that right before he woke up on the plane, that he was in a hospital room surrounded by family.
She put his seat tray down and put some orange juice and pretzels on it. " I thought you might enjoy a little snack even though it's going to be a short flight".
He noticed that all the passengers seemed happy and glad to be on the flight. He finished drinking his juice and eating his pretzels and then Angeline took them away and put the seat tray back up. He closed his eyes.
Just as quickly, she shook his shoulder and softly told him the plane was landing. He said goodbye to her and then waited patiently to disembark the plane.
Charlie and the other passengers left the plane with smile on their faces. They were home now thanks to Heaven Bound Airlines.


The End.





spread peace to all you meet. Love Ric.
