“This is as far as I can take you, ” the angel said, her voice resonating in Angelo’s brain as much as it did his ears. “They live in the cottage just up this path. The one with the wildflowers. ”

Angelo nodded, turning to watch her go, a trench coat wrapped tightly around her body and a fedora pulled low to hide her face.

He still wasn’t entirely sure he believed what he’d been told upon his waking up. It was so damn hard to swallow.

He’d been dead for decades, his best friends were married to each other, and they lived in a cottage in a little English village called Supperton-Mumsley.

It was surreal.

But the angel told him it was true, and he found it hard to have doubts about her. So he walked through the quiet, quaint little village until he came upon a cottage with a yard filled with wildflowers. Of course, had he been the one describing the yard’s distinguishing feature, he would have pointed out the flock of neon green plastic flamingos standing guard between the gate and the door.

Angelo took a few moments to absorb the image before stepping through the gate and striding up the radioactive orange path to the door (a surprisingly subdued oak). He stood on the little porch, a hand raised to knock.

What was he going to say to them?

Hi, an angel brought me back from the dead, so how are you two doing?

He stood there for a long time, wondering if he should just go when the decision was taken out of his hands by the door being opened from the other side.

Jono looked much like Angelo remembered him… but some things had changed. His skin had gone from peaches and cream to grey, and his hair was threaded with silver. There were lines around his eyes, which were opened wide.

Angelo?

“Hey, brother. Have I got a story for you.”
