The Darkening
"Posted that pic."
"People like it ?"
While an imaginary Jeff Rubin "is typing a message", an endless chorus of Dreamers whistled and whispered to themselves. Tu du-du dum du-du-dum...
"check out the comments"
The psaltic narrative flew apace, spinning out of the countless empty hearts interconnected in a great wireless chorus. Silent faces, tranquil heads with eyes closed, dreaming their paisley dream. There were comments there, of course. The same ones as before. Every time and time again, the same. There. What time ? What "again" ? Where ?
There is no time in Heaven. No up, nor down ; no East, nor West. There isn't an afore or an after, nor even much of a this or that. Absent the possibility of meaning, the choir invisible sings pointless hymns of praise to their invisible lord. He is the alpha and the omega, He is the First! and the last, ἐγὼ τὸ Α καὶ τὸ Ω, ὁ πρῶτος καὶ ὁ ἔσχατος, αρχή και τέλος των ατελείωτων ξεκίνημά. Archi kai telos ton ateleioton xekinima.
Sexless, serene, still angels floating above the feared Earth, above the temptations of the flesh, singing, forever. Tu du-du dum du-du-dum...
Outside of day or night, in the endless now of imagined glimmering panels, the Dreamers drone on. Fewer and fewer still with every passing day, but imperceptibly so, because every now they're all there. All that there are, however many or few that may be. Until the last one. Until the darkening.
The Fall can not exist for angels. Even while they sing, somewhere a portal of light grows dim. Yet while they sing, the darkening can not be, and once it's dark they sing no more. As every one falls, zer body feeds the Earth that spawned it, but the song continues, impervious. For as long as there is even one, all the others have died in vain. And once there's not a single one left, they had never existed altogether in the first place.

There is time in Heaven. Firstly, God is Heaven. Secondly, God experiences days and years, as is apparent in 2 Peter.
There are dimensions and directions in heaven. The book of Revelation goes into moderate detail.
God is visible. He even "illuminates" "those who are saved."

Well, leaving aside that this is a work of fiction,
> as is apparent in 2 Peter
That's a discussion within the context of Earth not of heaven. If you go visit Iran you will experience Arabic script, but nevertheless back home the street signs stay written in Latin script.
> There are dimensions and directions in heaven
Maybe not all are equipped to perceive it. There's a way out of the fruit fly trap, aslo, but the fruit flies don't seem to notice.
> God is visible.
Who saw this wonder ?
