12 and 1/2 ANGELS –

Greed is at odds with godliness

Death came for the miserly skinflint, Mario Flagstaff, in the most unusual of ways when he choked on a smoked-gouda stuffed olive. As a man consumed by greed and his own big ego, Mario had no idea what to expect in the afterlife. But he did believe he would never die. He was shocked at what awaited him in the afterlife. Barely escaping the wraths of hell, there was no royal welcome in heaven. None of this was as he imagined it would be. Stuck in purgatory, Archangel Jeremiel expected him to pay penance for his greed. Heaven’s pearly gates were locked up tighter than a clam with lock-jaw but the gates to hell were always open. Drifting up heaven’s staircase were the cries of Lucifer tempting him to a perpetual hell. Mario felt like he was on a tight rope stretched between purgatory and eternal damnation, as flames licked at his heels.

Mario's journey towards redemption will test his character and force him to confront the darkness within himself. Follow Mario as he navigates the treacherous realm between heaven and hell, and learns the true meaning of wealth and power, and life and death. Fans of Dante's Inferno will devour this thought-provoking tale of one man's journey towards redemption.

“Then he said to them, ‘Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; life does not consist in an abundance of possessions’” (Luke 12: 15).
