What happens after we die? This question has captivated humanity since the dawn of consciousness. In "The Five People You Meet in Heaven," we follow Annie, a young woman whose life ends suddenly during what should have been routine lung transplant surgery for her husband Paulo. But death isn't the end of Annie's story - it's just the beginning. After taking her final breath, Annie finds herself hurtling through a spectrum of colors before landing in a realm unlike anything she expected. Heaven, it turns out, isn't a place of eternal rest but rather a journey of understanding. Annie's story begins with her end. At thirty years old, with butterscotch hair and olive eyes, Annie dies in a hospital following a selfless decision to donate her lungs to her critically injured husband. Paulo, her childhood sweetheart and newlywed husband of just one day, had been catastrophically burned in a hot air balloon accident during their honeymoon. Without hesitation, Annie volunteered her own lungs for transplant, declaring with absolute conviction, "If he doesn't live, I don't want to." Death had been an unwelcome companion throughout Annie's life. Twenty-two years earlier, she survived what many called "a miracle" at Ruby Pier amusement park when a mechanical failure nearly claimed her life. Though her severed hand was reattached, leaving only a thin silver scar, the incident claimed the life of Eddie, the park's elderly maintenance worker, whose final act was pushing Annie to safety. In her final conscious moments before anesthesia takes hold, Annie whispers a prayer for Paulo's life. Through the haze of pre-operative medications, she sees Eddie - somehow familiar despite being dead for decades - running toward her with outstretched arms, his work uniform now pristinely white. Everything fades to brilliant light, and Annie's consciousness hurtles at tremendous speed through a spectrum of colors, weightless and free from pain.
