SEEING THEM AGAIN: A SHORT STORY

“Who do you expect to see in the afterlife?”  Admittedly, it was an insensitive question for him to put to himself at his age.
 
Well, he could think of a lot of people he hoped he did not see, only because he did not get along well with them in this life, so there was no reason to think it would be different in the hereafter.  Granted, it was not up to him.

Since it was out of his hands, it rather seemed that he would see everyone who ever lived, and, indeed, would see everything that ever lived.
 
Sooner or later, everyone who has ever lived sees everyone else who has ever lived, and everything that has ever lived sees everything else that has ever lived.  If not over there, here.
