Extract from Captain Stormfield's Visit to Heaven

The narrative unfolds through the eyes of Captain Stormfield, who humorously critiques the conventional notions of heaven. His down-to-earth observations reveal the tedium of eternal harp-playing, the challenges of mingling with youthful spirits, and the surprising demographics of Paradise. Twain's satirical take dismantles human arrogance, reflecting the era's emerging scientific understanding of the cosmos and humanity's small place within it. This final work encapsulates Twain's wit while addressing profound themes of existence and insignificance.
