Read The Counterfeit Storyline:

Andrew Jeffery Stephenson is about to find out what comes after death. It turns out Paradise isn’t for the religious but for the logical. Post life is a miraculous accident, just like life itself. And it has everything you’d ever want! But, there are those that claim that the world is coming to an end in 3 days. They warn that it will all fall away. And it threatens to ruin Andrew’s Paradise...Andrew Jeffery Stephenson, a stupid man, by his own admission, is in critical condition from gunshot wounds. He’s entirely alone. His wife left him for someone more successful, someone better. When he’s honest with himself, he knows he’s just waiting to die…And he does. With the sound of a fading flatline beep and the post-life urging of the woman he still loves, he finds himself in a paradise of his own making. He wakes up on a beautiful beach with her by his side. Oh, paradise indeed!Shortly after, a man simply named D comes onto his property. A self proclaimed “realtor for your post-life needs” D quickly shows Andrew just what this paradise is. It’s not heaven; it’s a miraculous accident. Paradise doesn’t belong to the religious but to the creative, to men of logic and reason. And because of this, his beach is just one small piece to an endless collection of beautiful properties, or “timeshares” as D calls them.D’s game is realty. And the piece of property Andrew brought with him is an excellent bargaining chip. Andrew’s interested in choices; D’s interested in getting him the best deal possible. There’s only one problem. While searching out different timeshares, they come across a man in the road who’s dressed like an angel. He’s holding a cardboard sign that reads:3 Days…And the countdown continues.These men say that the world will end when the countdown hits zero. Are they “crazy” as D claims? Or are they trying to warn Andrew that the end is near?
