Trevor Hart was beside himself in the elevator. His thin lips were trembling, trying to pull the reins on the ridiculously large smile threatening to erupt.

Since he arrived in Heaven, Trevor had graciously taken advantage of the free college benefit. He had graduated last year from a fantastic school they called Wing and Word Journalism University.

Not long afterwards, he had gained an internship with the Angels on High Tribune. This was the only newspaper press company in Heaven. Providing both online (Via Cloudflix internet service) and actual printed newspapers. Known for their writing of pure, uplifting stories and just plain good news.

Yes, a handsome young man was Trevor Hart. He was always dressed to the nines and with his boyish good looks was an instant hit with everyone in the office. He was tenaciously cheerful and ready to lend a hand in every department.

A real team player, Trevor. He was getting noticed at the company with his excellent writing skills too. He produced some very thought provoking, yet positive outlook articles that everyone loved. The favorite was a piece he did on a guy reuniting with every pet he had ever owned in life at the grand lobby of Heaven’s entrance. That was a real tearjerker for anyone who read it. Trevor was quite the whisper all around the building.
