Extract from Captain Stormfield's Visit to Heaven by Mark Twain
"Extract from Captain Stormfield's Visit to Heaven" by Mark Twain is a short story first published in 1907. Captain Elias Stormfield embarks on a cosmic journey to Heaven, where he discovers an afterlife vastly different from conventional expectations. Through conversations with veteran resident Sandy McWilliams, Stormfield learns startling truths about celestial existence—from the real purpose of angel wings to the unexpected identities of Heaven's greatest celebrities. Twain satirizes traditional religious conceptions with
characteristic humor and hyperbole, revealing an eternity far stranger than Earth's familiar assumptions. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
