Up In The Clouds

She gasped with excitement and shouted over the noise of the propeller: “The islands in the clouds are real!” Everything was so surreal; there were blue elephants skating on a rink in the clouds, demons rolling dice right next to them, and Billy Mays was riding a bicycle in endless circles. Tila Tequila still could not fathom what she was observing. The last thing she remembered was chugging something out of a bottle and realizing that it wasn’t alcohol but actually gasoline. She later woke up aboard a plane going somewhere known as “Azure Ecstasy”. Initially, Tila was very excited because she thought she was involved with something related to the drug commonly taken at raves. But after talking to a fellow passenger who went by the name of Paul, she realized that she had perished and was now on her way to the afterlife. “Am I dead?” Tila asked herself. The realization shocked her. She would now be playing mini golf with Nelson Mandela instead of taking shots with the cast of “Jersey Shore”. Tila did not know how to feel about everything or how to reason with herself that she was truly dead. She tried getting into Tupac’s party that he was hosting but was denied entry, as no one recognized her. She kept walking along what she discovered to be known as the Holy Road and bumped into a big man in a suit. The two began to converse after Tila asked him where she should go to get alcohol in her body. The man said his name was Al Capone. Soon enough he and Tila had become fast friends and they both jumped onto a unicorn that took them to the coolest club in all of Heaven. Tila was almost glad she accidentally drank that gasoline, as this life promised so much more to her than her previous one ever could.
