The Two Souls

The Two Souls

written by

Gregory Barone

A spirit was traveling heaven-bound. He followed other souls into heaven and on his course; and saw new spirits going along the separate part of the path. 

‘ My, what miraculous things they will experience when they’re in existence!’ the old soul thought.

He continued on till he discovered a lonely spirit that looked hesitant as the others wanting to get there quicker. Then old spoke from the wall. 

‘Hello young one, why are you so afraid to be born?’ said old. Surprised; The other spirit glanced up and responded. 

‘I’m scared. It looks intimidating, and I don’t know what could happen to me.’ the spirit said. Old peered at the spirit.

‘ It’ll take time to learn things. While you're alive, you will experience wondrous things.’ old said. The soul stared at old ‘ Oh… Okay.’ He said. 

He goes along, and angle came to old and thanked him. ‘ Sometimes a soul is reluctant to pass into existence.’ said the angle to old.

‘ No trouble. One needs words of encouragement to get moving.’ old said to the angle.

They waved to each other as they walked. 

It wasn’t long before that old was in the vast waiting room for sprits with angles guiding them around and answering questions at one of heaven’s service counter.

Old was in the awaiting section and sat with a numbered ticket the help counter angle gave him. 

They filled the space with other spirits with ticket in hand. 

A number on screen in a corner, the chime toned, number called, and a spirit walked to awaiting angel by the entrance.

Only a dozen souls were in the section when it began. 

Another soul sat by old. 

A bit afterward; there’s something about the person nagged at him. He remembered everyone in his past life, but none fit the one who remained by him and that’s when old spoke.

‘ Have I seen you somewhere?’ old said. 

‘ I couldn’t say that I have till now.’ replied the soul

‘ I haven't met many since I arrived here.’ 

‘ Same here.’ the other soul spoke. 

A bit later, old Soul spoke again 

‘ I met a new soul that was reluctant to move into existence. I hope that little soul lived a good life on earth.’ 

At hearing old soul, the soul stares at him, and he remembered old soul.

‘ so it was you?’ 

Old Soul’s eyes widen, and he turned to new soul.

‘ So… How was life for you, my young friend?’ said Old soul

‘ well, where do I start?’ a bit of time had passed before he spoke.

‘ I saw amazing things, grand things, vast things, good things, dreadful things, horrible things, terrible things, wonderful things, weird things, awful things. Felt soft things, hard things, smooth things, ruff things, hot things, icy things, gross things, I’ve sniffed pleasant things, good things, wonderful things, awful things, terrible things, gross things, disgusting things, unpleasant things. I’ve Tasted good things, great things, amazing things, sweet things, sour things, bitter things, bad things, gross things, awful things, I’ve Heard good things, great things, amazing things, fabulous things, weird things, bad things, terrible things, unpleasant things, horrible things, terrible things, awful things.’ 
new Soul to old Soul, ‘do you think I can live again?’ 

Tears well up in old souls’ eyes as he looks at new soul knowing full well that this soul had lived a full and wonderful life and just as old soul was about to say something to new soul old souls number is called and old soul panics, looking back and forth between new soul and the angle that called his number. 

‘ It’s ok, you go on and maybe I’ll see you around in haven.’ new soul to old, old Soul looked at new 

‘ You go on ahead, and I’ll catch up to you.’  
old Soul had tears going down his cheeks, got up from his seat, 

‘ I’ll be waiting for you on the other side.’ said old soul as he was walking away 

‘ Yeah, see you soon.’ new Soul returned. 

Old Soul walk with the angel to a room and was told that he would go to heaven do to his deeds and actions and would be a low level spirit of which old soul was fine with that and he was lead to a corridor and was told to go all the way through. 

And he did and soon found that he was walking on grass and there were trees around him; so he walked to a tree and sat under it, it was like what he did in his younger years of his life when he was alive, with the warmth of the sun on him and a cool breeze blowing with the sound of the leafs rustling.

Old Soul sat there waiting and at a time, a soul would walk through and then a group would walk through. This happens from time to time. 

It wasn’t long till old soul closed his eyes and was thinking about his life and remembering all the things he did till he head  

‘ Hello!’ 
It startled old soul and looked up to see New soul standing next to him and old Soul jumped up from where he sat 

‘ You made it here, my friend.’ 

‘ That I did, but it took some time thou.’ said new Soul

‘ Well then, shall we go for a walk?’ 

‘ Yes, let’s do that.’ 

so old and new walk around heaven sharing what they did when they were alive and enjoying the amazing things of heaven.
