Chapter 1: Genesis: the background of my big question
Ever since I was a kid, I'd hear about people and family passing away, I always wondered what happened after they died. Like is there really an after life ? A heaven and hell ? Since I really don't believed in those things, I always thought people would go into a never ending dream, where they could control everything like their own world. People have said they've seen hell or heaven after they die and come back to life, but we will never truly know what happens.
