~Kale~
I was still reeling from my new surroundings when a voice interrupted my scattered thoughts about what I was supposed to do now and where I was to go. "Hi, mister. Are you new here?" came the sweet voice that belonged to a young girl no more than 10 years old.
She had an older sister by her side, looking to be about 3 years younger than myself. She looked like she wanted to smack her sister for talking to me. Not literally of course, I reminded myself. But, the way siblings treat each other. I had observed that plenty of times while I was up in heaven.

They seemed to buy that as they nodded. These two seemed nice enough, maybe my first human friends?
