A man is awoken in his grave by the sound of trumpets on judgment day. As the
first souls come before God and Archangel Gabriel for the last judgment, the
man soon discovers that judgement day is not quite how he imagined. God and
Archangel Gabriel laugh at saints and sinners alike until they are so
embarrassed that they flee "up the sleeve of God" where they are enlightened,
given new bodies and a second chance. When God shakes them from his sleeve
they land on a foreign planet and humanity is instructed to "try again" with
their newfound understanding. This science-fiction fantasy take on a religious
parable is written by the author of the science fiction classic 'The War of
the Worlds', H.G. Wells. 'A Vision of Judgment' is a satirical short story
that could easily be a precursor to comedy-drama 'The Good Place' or animated
film 'Soul'. H.G. Wells (1866 – 1946) was a prolific writer and the author of
more than 50 novels. In addition, we wrote more than 60 short stories,
alongside various scientific papers. Many of his most famous works have been
adapted for film and television, including ‘The Time Machine,’ starring Guy
Pearce, ‘War of the Worlds,’ starring Tom Cruise, and ‘The Invisible Man,’
starring Elizabeth Moss. Because of his various works exploring futuristic
themes, Wells is regarded as one of the ‘Fathers of Science Fiction.’
