Among the newly arrived is Edward, a gentle soul who finds himself in heaven clad only in his pajama bottoms, a result of his peaceful departure in his sleep. "Well, this is a bit awkward," he mutters, glancing at the other souls who seem more appropriately attired.

Mrs. Alabaster, the attendant, looks at Edward with a twinkle in her eye. "You might want to visit the Secondhand Shop, dear. But first, do you have anything you'd like to donate?" she asks, as she gently explains the concept of donating to the heavenly secondhand store. "I suppose I could let go of this old watch," Edward replies, offering it up as his first act of generosity in the afterlife.

Edward enters the shop, his eyes wide with wonder at the array of choices. He sifts through racks filled with everything from military uniforms to evening gowns. Gabriel, the shopkeeper, notices his bewilderment and approaches with a friendly grin. "Looking for something specific, my friend?" he inquires, gesturing to the various sections of the store.

Edward finds a neatly folded white shirt with delicate embroidery that catches his eye. "This looks just right," he says, admiring the fine craftsmanship. Gabriel nods approvingly, "A fine choice. That shirt once belonged to a very dapper gentleman," he explains with a wink.

Edward exits the shop, feeling content and properly dressed for his new adventure. As he walks through the celestial streets, he marvels at the kindness and generosity that flourishes in heaven. "Maybe this is what they mean by heavenly bliss," he muses, a soft smile playing on his lips.

Edward settles into his new life, knowing that generosity and goodwill are as much a part of heaven as the angels themselves. He reflects on his experience, realizing that even in the afterlife, community and kindness create a rich, fulfilling existence. And with that, he takes his place among the stars, content and whole.
