Tribute to Jesushadherpes

Jake arrived in heaven. To his surprise, there was no line, no pearly gates, just him. "Hello" he shouted. In response he heard nothing but a dull echo of his own voice. In his puzzled state he just started walking forward. There was a hollow slapping sound with each step like he was walking in a courthouse or an empty school. He looked down at the ground noticing it for the first time. Stopping he looked at what appeared to be clouds, yet sounded like marble tile. He looked up from where he had stopped and looked around for a sign of anything in the foggy abyss in which he has been walking. He pivoted slowly turning in a circle. When he got halfway around he stopped and looked back at the way he had traveled studied it. When he found that nothing had changed he turned around and went to walk, but ran into a person. With a small shout of surprise he fell down on his aft end. Sitting there he looked up trying to see who the person was with the glow of what he thought to be the sun in his eyes all he saw was a shadowed figure. Standing back up, he looked at the man again and only then did he realize who it was. "So I have herpes huh?" Jesus said with a chuckle. Before Jake had time to speak Jesus reached out his arm and within his hand was a skateboard. "I believe this is yours" Jesus said handing the board to him. He looked down at the skateboard and when he raised his head back up everything around him had changed. Instead of the nothingness he saw before now lay the best skate park one could imagine as far as the eye could see. When he looked at Jesus to say something he was gone, but a voice remained speaking to him. "This is what you were meant to do. You will have answers later, but for now just skate."
