Stairway to Heaven

I've always found introductions boring, not because of the necessary formality at times, the rigid ordering of events, the procedure without which the event would cease to be itself. No, I dislike them because they represent a beginning, which is fine since everything must have a beginning but where as it can be gripping and at times even immersive, I think we'll all agree that the meat of the story comes a good deal later, after many page numbers have flicked by and almost always before you realize that you've read enough for one night (if there is such a thing).

So no introductions on my part, we're too far ahead in the story for me to bother with recaps. We've found the staircase, ascended it, found the Pearly Gates and taken whatever gifts we wished to take from the heaven of youth. It's time to start the descent back to earth, back to the real world. It's a much more interesting place, perhaps solely because time here is fleeting and before you know it heaven will come knocking on your door.

I believe this world is at the doorstep of many Angels, it presents many choices but there is one that shall come knocking for you regardless, a calling you will be challenged to ignore.
