SOUL So I fall?
GUARDIAN Heaven’s stand is not a platform for your résumé. It’s the place where you stop holding yourself up.
VOICE (off, gentle) Well done, good and faithful… stander-down.
Soul steps off the stand. The podium dissolves into light.
A soft, timeless light. A wooden podium – the “Stand” – floats above a cloud floor.
The podium becomes a mirror. Soul sees their own face, then flickering images of people they’ve hurt.
GUARDIAN And if those are not asked for?
SOUL (V.O.) They said heaven would be rest. No one mentioned a stand.
GUARDIAN (enters, calm) The stand is where truth speaks without defense. What do you hold?
SOUL (smiling, weeping) I thought I had to be tall. Now I see – heaven stands under me.
SOUL (long pause) Then what am I supposed to stand on?
If that’s not what you meant, please share a few more details (game, religious essay, fan fiction, or school assignment). I’ll rewrite the script or essay exactly to your need.
GUARDIAN No. You are held.
