Heaven here I come
Blasted to... where?
Papa? Papa? is it you? I have just seen the news.
Yes, Masha, it is me. I am here in Heaven.
But... but... Papochka! The Ukrainian drone... it blew you straight to hell.
No, no, Dochen’ka, disregard the neo-nazi propaganda. I have been blown to Heaven, not to Hell.
But... but... but... the immortality pill. It should have saved you.
It did, little bird. It did! That's why I am here in heaven.
Wait... how come you can speak to me from heaven?
I have a specially upgraded Starlink cell ph.............. Zzzziiiip.... zzzzip.... bzzzzzzzzzz....
Papa... Papa... PAPOCHKA! Are you there?

Poor Putin, he doesn't even know he is in hell. I enjoyed this Raymond, and I didn't even know Elon Musk was trying to develop immortality, no less Jarod Kushner. I thought Elon was trying to reproduce the genius gene. Raymond the starling cell was an excellent touch to the story. And the photo was priceless. Nicely Done!!!
This is darkly funny and biting and I love how you used that cutting off at the end to drive the point home.
I enjoyed this, Raymond - and that Starlink cell!
This is hilarious, Raymond, thank you for playing!
But I thought the challenge said that no matter what happens, that he should always end up in hell? Or am I wrong? 😅😅
I just knew this challenge would spawn some stunners! 😁
