He looked for the nurse call button. For water. 'Here,' Gertrude gave him the gadget. David pressed the button and nurse Lucila, instantly, was alerted at the nurse station. She was very surprised and exhilarated, quickly, she called Dr. Frost's office. 'Dr. Frost, I am going to Father Lancaster's room, he just woke up!' 'Good Afternoon, Father Lancaster, I am your doctor, Michael Frost. Welcome back! You just woke up from an eight-month-coma. Do you remember what happened?' David said, "Yes, I was in a van accident." 'Yes you were. Unfortunately, your brother Henry died, and your friends: Linda, and Diane. Good news though, Mr. and Mrs. Ritter survived. Luke is here with me now with more good news.' '

'Mister David Job Lancaster, my baby, at last we can now see each other. The last time I saw you, you were an infant.' 'Wow, you have grown into such a fine gentleman. I am so proud.' She paused. 'Oh! Silly me,' she giggled. 'I am Gertrude Schutzengel.' And then she embraced David. 'You were supposed to be born blind. But I gave you my eyes. That's why you are color blind. The next best thing.' David exclaimed, "No wonder!" Gertrude gave a loud, silly laugh. 'Oh David,  it was just recently that I regained my eyesight. Now, I can see. Look into my eyes and you will witness the many souls you had helped. They were more than enough for me to be given the gift of vision.' 'The original plan was for you to have two constant and present Schutzengels. But you had to read, see the world, the good and the bad. So Fullbright took charge. And he had done the mission splendidly.' 'I'm excite

"I can't do it. I am really sorry. I am beleaguered that I will just disappoint everyone," David said while looking down on the ground. Fullbright was somber. Althia was lugubrious. David asked, "Well, since day one I was always walking away, right? Um, what difference is it this time?" Fullbright said firmly, 'We understand completely... ' While Althia nodded. 'The seventh Schutzengel will be here any moment now. And it will make a forceful transformation within you. Don't worry, David.' 'If God can move mountains, He can fortify your heart. Courage is a gift. Open it and let it build you up.' Althia gazed at David's forlorn eyes and reassured him. 'You will like her, David. She is a warrior angel. One of the best.' She elaborated, 'We are your seven Schutzengels. Fullbright, Preben, Von, Berihun, Ingrim, me and the last will be here right about now... 'Per angusta ad au

'How are we today, David? I would like to introduce myself kind Sir. I am Althia, the Healer. Pure water is the cure for every ailment there is on earth. Heavenly pure water, that is.' 'This would not take so much time. Are you ready, David?' He was more than ready. He felt the soothing and calming effects of the water. It was the bluest water he had ever seen. "Althia, yes, I am your patient and please do your wonders." Althia smiled. 'Later on you will see who you should be grateful for. We are but His servants.' 'Okay, David have a swim in the blue lake. Pray the rosary while in the waters. Afterwards, you are done with the first step.' Althia gave him a glass of blue water. 'Have a drink. All of it please.' David obeyed silently. It was refreshing and invigorating.  'Be filled with the Holy Spirit!' She said solemnly. Then a dove with light descended upon him. David was qu

'Caelum ! This is heaven. Welcome my friend! David, I am Ingrim, one of the heavenly messengers.' 'Heaven will look depending how you are on earth. The state of your soul. Your family. Your home. Be ready, my friend. This is like winning the jackpot in a lottery.' He grinned. David was anticipating the splendor that he imagined it to be, he was not hesitant at all. He felt like home. Like water converging with water, the slow focusing of his vision was in sync with all his senses. The smell of pine needles from the Christmas tree during childhood. The rippling sounds of the running waters of a brook. The sweet taste of mango. And the healing touch of his beloved mother. It was surreal. Ethereal. 'Come on, David. There are two friends of yours who have been patiently waiting to see you. They died in the van accident but their soul made it here in heaven. We will talk to Diane first, then to Linda.' 'David!!!' 'Can

'Hey man, David! I am the Guardian of The Garden. Berihun Schutzengel is my name. That is an Ethiopian name meaning "let him be our gate/our guidance.' 'Do not worry, here you get to relax a bit.' Berihun aimed at the left portion of the aviary and pulled the trigger of his weapon. It was a blank bullet. Then a thousand white, immaculate doves flew towards their direction, just about thirty meters above them. "Big wow!" were the words he could say, David was bedazzled. He noticed the doves leaving a trail of luminous blue light. "They need a little training. They are part of the Blue Army. And I am one of the Generals. Berihun dissolved into laughter. 'Let's go man.' 'This is The Garden. We will have  refreshments with someone special. He wanted to speak with you, David.' 'David, It is my great honor and privilege to introduce to you Saint John Paul II.' 'Hello,

'Spes !' 'David... Welcome to the realm of the unseen! I am Von Schutzengel. It has been a long journey for you. We will enter the Gate of Hope shortly.' David noticed Von's striking green eyes. It seemed that he felt hope. And he recalled from long ago that Von is a name of Norse origin that means just that— Hope. 'You have to put this around you, David. It is the Cloak of Faith. You will be only allowed to see things and places and talk to spirits that have been selected and prepared for you. All of which will be imprinted in your memory. It will guide you once you are back on earth.' 'One of those who perished in the accident is your older brother, Henry. You will see him now just like as you see him on earth.' "Henry. My brother," he said as he hugged him. "You died. Tears fell from his eyes. I am so sorry. I did not mean to... " 'Little brother, it is great to see you. I am glad I was given the

'David! Wake up... ' He struggled to open his eyes and saw an angel in full battle gear. "Who are you?" 'Well, Sir, they call me Preben Schutzengel. I am in charge of the series of battles. Good news David, we have won eight battles so far. You may not be aware of it but I have a legion of ten thousand angels under my command.' "That is numerous!" David was in awe and, "Thank you," he spoke humbly. 'The accident was unexpected. It was not supposed to happen. You are our messenger on earth and your mission is of utmost relevance. We have been trying to do a wired chastisement. And from your corner of the world you have been, successfully, carrying out your mission.' Preben motioned with his hand pointing to the panoramic view of the wide glass window. 'Here in the waiting realm, it always rains. It is cleansing of the mind and spirit.'  'People are suffering, crying out to the heavens.'

The bilingual announcements from the Frankfurt Airport speakers detailed the arrival of the Lufthansa Flight from London-Heathrow in thirty eight minutes. Luke Ritter could not contain his excitement, he was, finally, going to see Stella Graham. After fourteen years or so. Stella was the first one to spot Luke from her vantage point. She almost did not recognize him. His hair was salt and pepper. 'Luke!' It was music to his ears, Luke saw her. She was stunning. He beamed ear to ear. His eyes lit up and said, "Honey, I missed you so much. Beyond words." They decided to have a little something to eat at one of the airport restaurants. "Remember when we got lost in Bangkok?" 'Yeah,' she said, in between sipping her coffee. 'It was my idea to get a map,' she laughed.
