AM I IN HEAVEN? – Scene 3
Everything is white. The air… the sky… the clouds…
the clouds…
the clouds…
the clouds…
THE CLOUDS!
Copper: OH MY GOSH I'M LYING ON CLOUDS!
Copper wakes up to find himself surrounded in a massive cloud room. Everything is made up of clouds and cloudy substances and cloud-like forms. EVERYTHING is clouds. The bed, the lamp, the dresser… yeah.
Copper: Am I in… heaven?
Immediately three angels pop into the room.
Angels: HHHHAAAAAAALELLUJAH!
Copper: OW! My hears!
Angel 1: Sir, welcome to…
Angel 2: Heaven!
Angel 3: Well, actually, this isn't the REAL heaven, you know. But it's where all the animals go. So welcome to…
Angel 2: Heaven! (Animal Edition!)
Angel 3: It's an expansion pack, you see.
Copper stands up. He looks around the room in wonder and astonishment.
Copper: But… it's made of clouds!
Angel 1: Amazing, isn't it? But we must hurry. The Big Man himself wants to speak with you right away.
Copper: The Big Man himself?
Angel 1: Yes. Come quickly.
The angels turn and start walking. Immediately they disappear, but Copper can still hear the Angel's voice.
Angel 1: Just walk through the wall – there's nothing to fear with clouds!
Copper walks through the wall and immediately his surroundings change. He is in a hallway. The angels walk down the long corridor, and Copper runs to catch up with them.
Copper: So, uh… why does God want to see me?
Angel 3: Oh, don't be silly. God doesn't want to see you. Just the Big Man.
Copper: I thought God was the Big Man.
Angel 3: Oh no no no… the Big Man just works for God. He runs Heaven: Animal Edition.
Copper: OK then… why does the Big Man want to see me?
Angel 1: All your questions will be answered soon enough.
Copper and the angels reach the end of the hall, and the angels walk through a very large wall, made of clouds of course. Copper walks through, too.
BAM!
Everything hits him all at once. The music, the lights, everything. No longer is everything made of clouds… everything is bright colors. Neon and gold lights dance around, creating an array of spectacular brightness.
Big Man: Welcome, welcome!
Copper squints his eyes. He can barely make out the Big Man sitting on a throne.
Copper: Hi, I'm Copper.
Big Man: No need to introduce yourself! I know all about you!
Copper: You do?
Big Man: Why yes, of course! But let's get to business, shall we?
Copper: OK… what's going on?
Big Man: You've made it to Heaven: Animal Edition. But you only have the trial version, which lasts only until midnight. Once your trial version runs out, you get sent to Hell: Pet Edition. Which isn't quite as grand. Quite boring, in fact. I hear humans rule over you and call you pets. What a dreadful thing! You sit around and drink water all day. Then they play a 'game' called fetch! How absolutely horrible.
Copper: Sounds pretty bad. Is there any way I can stay here longer?
Big Man: Well, yes, you can purchase a membership. But currently we've run out.
Copper: What? So I can't stay?
Big Man: Eh, not really. There is one way, however, which is why I wanted to see you.
Copper: Really? How?
Big Man: It's a long story, but I've gotten angry at some of the things going on in the town of Culeville. There's been lots of mysterious things happening around there. If you can find out what's happening and who is doing it, I might let you stay here.
Copper: Ok, whatever. I'll do anything!
Big Man: Fortunately for you, some others that have died recently will accompany you on your mission.
Copper: Oh, that's good. Who are they?
Big Man: There are two others… their names are Booker and Rover.
Copper: WHAT?
Big Man: That's right. Have fun!
BAM!
And suddenly Copper was falling at an extreme pace towards the town of Culeville. He could barely make out the Big Man's voice giving him some final instructions:
Big Man: I forgot to tell you! You'll be invincible, so don't worry about dying! But if you don't find out what's happening before midnight, I'm afraid you'll have to go! Good luck!
SLAM!
And Copper hit the ground.
