Description

A man arrives in Heaven. However, he learns that this is not his first time arriving. He has forgotten his previous actions and experiences. He has only one simple question to ask of God: how long has he been here?

(This is a short story, with only one chapter. It was written within about an hour, but it is meant to only be a quick exploration of a concept. I hope you like it.)

An interesting story about how infinity actually looks, its not infinite but just an impossible long number, which is why every now and then you need a reset, as its impossible to bear the immeasurable weight of time, the knowledge that you have tried everything in all its possible variations.

This is an interesting and philosophical exploration of the concept of large numbers/infinity, though the actual premise here is decent the back and forth brings up tangential aspects along other philosophical aspects of certain divine arguments. I'll spare the jokes of Simpson-esque matters and get to the point - this is good. Its presentation, inelegant. I do like such topics being explored so this was a welcome read.
