Daddy Sargent approved of Robin’s veto of David, though neither of them could remember why they were unforgiving of David.
For similar reasons of once deeply felt rejection, Myrna nixed her beautiful daughters’ presence in her Paradise to the chagrin of all the team’s men whose vivid imagination wasn’t going to be enough.
Roberta Denise and son Adam in time also made it into Heaven but not on the Magnolia High team, by choice. She had found the original Adam, the Daddy of us all (he was barely over seven thousand years old at the time), and introduced her son Adam whom the older Adam introduced to his stepbrothers, Cain and Abel.
All these good people who may have or may not have done harm to anyone in their earthly life became contented creatures without desiring vivid imaginations eternally grazing on the tradition of their particular Paradise. They were merciful, pure, gentle people with no pretence to wisdom; the patient, meek and mild children who had inherited the universe after asking for forgiveness, just in time, and who were especially loved by the Lord.

For thirty three million years Sharon’s version of Magnolia High School daily luxuriated in the scented air of her presence in her Heavenly Paradise. She had arisen from the dead as the Daughter of the Lord and her friends from Magnolia High saw her as the beautiful flower of their once lewd longing. Daily all the alumni gathered around to worship her Saintly Beatitude and listen to her words which the four winds of Heaven draped throughout the four corners of their Paradise. Her angelic presence was full of grace generating the love that kept all of them secure within a firewall of unadulterated holiness. Above all, her loveliness still held an air of royal friendship that was sweeter than any other thought. When they were in school, Sharon reminded them, they were the in-crowd.
“What boy or girl did not want to be our friend?” said Sharon.
“And at the heart of all of us was you, Sharon,” said Hank. “Shy and beautiful Sharon.”
“What a composition of wealth it is to be shy and beautiful,” said Robin.
“We were all that: shy and beautiful from the very beginning, easily taken advantage because of our generosity,” said Myrna.
“Our faces lit up the world with our smiles and we didn’t know it,” said Kitty.
“It never occurred to us that our smiles were anything special,” said Mark.
“We were lovers to the world that had fallen in love with our youth and beauty; we were friends, warm and binding friends, in love forever, the best of friends forever,” loudly cried out Beautiful Sharon, she of the fabulous breasts.
Immediately they stood up and with tears in their eyes they sang:
Go Magnolia, Go Magnolia
Best school in the land
We’re behind you cheering for you
Can’t you hear that band
Rah, rah, rah … Goooh Tigers!

After three hundred million years in Paradise the four friends had blended into a blurred One and all the spiritual pleasures had become an ambiguous sterilized illusion. No amount of vivid imagination could overcome the geometric multiplication of Heavenly boredom, a bacteria that inevitably eats away all souls. Well before eternity ends, boredom overwhelms all pleasures and loneliness becomes a long distance runner, with fabulous Paradise a short sprint. All illusions disappear along with time and light, and all things slowly fade into nothingness.
