Uranophobia means fear of heaven



Uranophobia is the fear of heaven or the sky. The origin of the word urano is Greek (meaning heaven) and phobia is Greek (meaning fear). This novella is not the typical heaven tourism story. Nor is it about flatlining and coming back from a near death experience, which happened to this author back in 2016. It is about freakish circumstances, the arrival on a synthetic heavenly planet, and the making of tough soteriological choices. Uranophobia is the story of the reality of salvation and all that eternal life implies. And what of the second death? The possibility of permanent death, non-being.
