Hi Raul. And may we all be as lucky as Sam to arrive in heaven to be with those we love. Glad to hear animals are up there, too. Good luck in the contest. Marilyn

This flash fiction story, The After Life, truly is a simple tale of Sam making it to heaven and reconnecting with Mom and Dad. Perfect.

I think you've got a good start here, but there are several things you need to look at. "My luck guess is that this is Heaven already," (lucky) all mighty God (almighty). And I'm not sure about the last sentence. It doesn't read clearly. Good luck.

Interesting take on the afterlife.

"Am I in Heaven, God?" He asked - he - following speech tags should be lower case unless a proper noun or name. Also, you need end punctuation here.

Nearly all of your sentences are missing end punctuation.

Needs Improvement

Nice story. There are some things that could use improvement, though. A few of the sentences could be combined. There is a lot of unnecessary repetition in the consecutive sentences that say "he (Sam) did this". The first sentence is very heavy-handed in that it directly tells us that Sam is dead instead of showing us. The last two sentences were also pretty heavy-handed. My biggest advice for revision would be to show more through dialogue and vivid descriptions than simply stating facts through direct narration.

A sweet thought for an afterlife which I don't actually believe in myself, but one can dream and your write seems innocent and well meaning, best wishes, love Dolly x
