A ninth grader with an attitude returns from his near-death experience with healing powers and a mysterious mission from Heaven.
Getting run over by a bus can ruin your day, but it doesn’t have to ruin your summer. The accident leaves ninth grader Kyle Hickman seemingly dead at the scene as he makes a quick visit to an unexpected afterlife. He awakens unscathed with a new sense of being, an unclear mission, and mystical healing powers.
Holy Fudgesicles follows Kyle as he comes to terms with the new life resulting from his powers, while taking on the increasingly difficult tasks of covering his tracks and fulfilling his purpose.
Excerpt
Everything was white. And everything was...nothing. As far as my eyes could see, nothing but empty white space surrounded me. It went on forever, but if I tried to focus my eyes off into the distance, it seemed to get brighter.
I closed my eyes, but nothing changed; the bright whiteness remained and I wondered if I had even shut my eyes at all. I opened my eyes, and slowly closed them again, but had the same result. Maybe I had gone blind and was seeing what blind people see; not dark nothingness, but light nothingness. I looked up, hoping to see some kind of sky or ceiling, but the empty space extended over my head as well. I looked down…
“What the hell?”
The fact that there was no ground only momentarily distracted me from the fact that I had no feet. And then I saw that it wasn't just my feet that were missing.
“Where the hell am I?”
“Don't worry, it's not Hell.”
After getting over the initial shock of hearing a familiar voice, I turned toward where the voice had come from. As I turned, it occurred to me that I wasn't even sure which way I was turning. Or even which way was up or down, or if up and down even existed anymore.
I could see a figure emerging in the distance. Soon, I could see arms, legs, and a head appearing on her. I wondered how she got off having a body when I was stranded there floating bodiless in the middle of nothing.
I also started getting a much clearer understanding of my fate. And I was sure not happy about it.
