Lucy snatches the football away from Charlie Brown causing him to fly up in the air and shout "AAUGH!" Charlie, however, continues to fall upwards. He says "haha yes, it is finally happening..." Lucy looks on in disbelief. Charlie rises and says "I am ascending to the realm of God to take my fated plave at his right hand." As he rockets into the stratosphere he shouts "this is the reward for my endless suffering! This is my reward!!"

It’s free to read, but if you share it anywhere or donate a $1+, let me know & I’ll send you a digital goody bag with a soundscape I created for the chapbook, a poem that was cut from the manuscript & a phone background I designed using the cover image!
