The mess

Just look at the mess. You cherubs will be the death of me – or someone else if they trip on those toys you’ve abandoned everywhere. I mean, dying once is unfortunate enough, but falling down the steps and doing it again is simply not fair.

They’ve made it all the way along the path to eternity and through the narrow gate only to stumble on the stairway to heaven which you’ve littered with Bangel Dolls and springy things.

Now let’s get this place cleared up before the Boss sees it.

* No, that wasn’t me in the audio! I’m no good at angelic voices so got Suno to create  an AI version for me!

    The fact that there is a stairway to heaven and a highway to hell should tell you all you need to know about the traffic.

    fun take on the ever-serious matter of how to approach them pearly gates.
    …carefully

    Lol… enjoyable. I loved the production via Sonu. It’s hard to stumble going up the stairs… much easier to tumble down. It’s a precarious journey for sure either way. But only one is worth taking.
    Loved the response to the prompt, Keith.
