Heaven Isn’t Too Far Away
Slippin’ farther and farther away,
it’s a miracle how long we can stay
in a world our minds created.
- Guns N’ Roses
You seem tense. Would you like me to give you a massage, Uno?
Uh –
Room service!
Care for some wine?
Or would you rather have some woman?
Do not hesitate. You’ve worked so hard. You deserve all this.
Time’s up.
Time does not exist here. What’s the hurry?
He’s here on borrowed time. We have to make the most of it.
You. Git.
Can’t you share?
Uno is all mine.
This is too good to be true.
This is your truth. This is where you wish to be.
Uno, stay here. With me. Forever.
No one will hurt you here. No one will tell you what to do. You won’t have to work so hard anymore. You can be free.
Uno, the lord will see you now.
I wish I can stay here forever but …
Please follow me.
… I must go.
I will see you again … won’t I?
You will, if you look hard enough.
Let us go.
Where are you taking me?
Please proceed. The lord awaits.
To be continued.
The Unoa Lusis angel, Dominique, has flown back to the US with Mommy Amy. Joey painted her new face.

Eeeeeeee! A new installment!
January 27th, 2007 - 06:11
Weird. The other half of my comment… completely disappeared. o_o;
January 27th, 2007 - 16:36
*adds the half of the eaten comment*
There are people who love you here, Uno!
January 29th, 2007 - 17:45
YES!
… Er.
January 27th, 2007 - 05:44
… I don’t know why but this story seems kind of sad to me. Especially that part where the angel version of Veritas is trying to convince Uno to stay and he says he wants to but he must go.
The pictures are so wistful and dreamlike. It’s amazing how you switch photography styles to suit your stories, Joey. *___*
January 29th, 2007 - 18:03
Aw, Janni, where will my ego be without you? *hugs*
January 27th, 2007 - 05:46
if i died of envy, will i go to heaven?
January 29th, 2007 - 18:07
Don’t count on it, Coty.
January 27th, 2007 - 06:05
Gosh I just love the looks of these photos so much ^_^ everything about them is just perfect!
January 29th, 2007 - 18:08
Aw, thank you so much!
January 27th, 2007 - 06:11
T_T Of course he deserves heaven but nooooo, this is making me sad.
January 27th, 2007 - 08:18
Also, the fangirl in me is squealing at the VeritasAngel/Uno moment. But seriously, he needs to get back to the real thing because you can’t beat the real Veritas
January 29th, 2007 - 18:09
RIGHT ON, SUZUKA!
January 27th, 2007 - 09:58
Dante’s on his way to the last sphere. o: I wonder if the Lord will appear naked as well.
And Joey, your shots of the angels are the most beautiful yet.
January 29th, 2007 - 18:10
Aaiiee, thank you, Feliz. I’m so glad you liked them.
January 27th, 2007 - 13:36
You’ll get there eventually Uno, but there’s too much for you to do in reality first. >:
Besides, if all these women were at your beck and call wouldn’t (after)life get boring? Who would there be to engage you, torment you, make your life more violent…oh wait…
(We still firmly believe real!Veritas is better, and hope you do too Uno. XD)
Yaa, I love the soft, dainty, and unearthly feel of these photos – no wonder Uno likes it in his dreams so much. X3 Thank you always for your beautiful visual storytelling, Joey!
January 29th, 2007 - 19:00
If the moron got up and started working on becoming a good musician instead of playing dead all day, he’ll have REAL women at his beck and call.
January 29th, 2007 - 19:04
HA. Unlike Uno, Molly makes a lot of sense. I love you, Molly. *kiss*
By the way, Joey thinks you look like the younger sister of Synyster Gates.
January 27th, 2007 - 16:26
I love the atmosphere in these photos! The girls really look like wonderful angels ^-^
Uno please come back!
January 29th, 2007 - 19:06
Thank you, Claudia. Uno must be enjoying all this clamor for his comeback, dammit.
January 27th, 2007 - 22:59
GET YOUR ASS BACK HERE UNO. *smacks*
January 29th, 2007 - 19:18
And that’s the blunt side of eL.
January 27th, 2007 - 23:51
Uno looks best with a Veritas in his arms.
You should say yes to the mortal version of Veri instead, Uno.
January 29th, 2007 - 19:19
January 28th, 2007 - 02:53
Yeah, Uno, come back now! You can meet Veritas In the real life. and.. ehrm.. just come back.
January 29th, 2007 - 19:22
Yeah! Sleeping all day will give you bad breath!
January 28th, 2007 - 08:03
Uno, come back to us!
I know the blonds and Absolut are tempting… but if you come back, I’m sure we can arrange a trip for you to Russia to sample Vodkas with some of those Victoria’s Secret Angels, if we tried hard enough!
Plus… we have Afrosamurai here… that has to count for something. ^_~
January 29th, 2007 - 19:26
If he doesn’t wake up, can I fly to Russia to drink vodka with supermodels instead?
January 28th, 2007 - 12:52
You will, if you look hard enough.
Look hard enough at Veri-veri
January 28th, 2007 - 12:55
I meant at the real Veri-veri
Angel Manx and Absolut Vodka reminded me of the “Absolut Vodka being endorsed by angels” ad campaign
January 29th, 2007 - 19:28
Angel Manx and Absolut Vodka reminded me of the “Absolut Vodka being endorsed by angels†ad campaign
Wow, you looked hard enough, Kishi! You win 50 points!
January 28th, 2007 - 13:52
Hey, maybe Mistula’s next public appearance will be in an Absolut Vodka commercial. XD
January 29th, 2007 - 19:29
In our dreams, Z.
January 28th, 2007 - 22:08
Sooo, according to Angel Veritas, Uno wants in his heart to be in the arms of a naked, blond and winged Veritas?
… And now Angel Magpie is leading Uno to ‘the lord’…
Don’t tell me the lord is Lugosi?
Ah well. I hope Uno wakes up soon, because there’s something very disturbing to me about seeing Manx and Veritas looking angelic, lol.
January 29th, 2007 - 19:30
I hope Uno wakes up soon before you give out any more spoilers, Hyae Na.
January 31st, 2007 - 18:08
Ehe.. ehehhehh… ^^;
January 29th, 2007 - 02:57
Definitely too good to be true, but deep down – Uno’s got some really vivid wishes, huh? Veri, I wonder if you’ve read the past few entries.
And when Angel Magpie says “lord” I was imagining Bella’s face miraculously popping up in Uno’s dreams. XD
*applauds* Joey, you’re so damn great at this – keep up the awesome work!
January 29th, 2007 - 19:33
This dream has been edited for younger viewers. If I let Uno have his way, this would have an R-18 rating.
Thank you, Jay!
January 30th, 2007 - 05:47
Tsk, tsk. I guess mental hygiene isn’t necessarily practiced in his mind, huh? But since that goes for everyone in general – Uno, you’re forgiven! ~_^
Oi Joey! I’d love to send you guys some Mistula artwork I’ve been working on, but I’m still teaching my copy machine to play scan and save (it’s not very smart and has a tendency to sputter and die on me.) Do you guys have an address that I could mail some drawings to? :/ If you don’t, I understand.
January 30th, 2007 - 09:01
Of course we have an address, Jay.
I’ll email it to you. We have a few people in hiding here, and we don’t want to expose their locations.
January 29th, 2007 - 09:06
Interesting that Magpie is (apparently) the one who will lead him out?
Enchanting but creepy at the same time. XD Go Uno go!
(but no Tsukisou? :
January 29th, 2007 - 09:07
doi, half-failed post!
*(but no Tsukisou?
maybe he belongs to a different dream)
January 29th, 2007 - 19:36
Due to budget constraints, we cannot shoot abroad, unfortunately. But this will not be Uno’s last dream.
January 29th, 2007 - 15:52
uno…don’t go to heaven yet… don’t leave us!!! Though we may not be blonde and winged and resin, you have thousands of fangirls willing to service you!!!
but i still find it disturbingly fascinating for sweet little Veritas to be some the object of Uno’s fantasies. What is Veritas to Uno anyway?
January 29th, 2007 - 19:40
Only Uno can answer that question, I’m afraid. Let’s wait for him to wake up, shall we?
January 31st, 2007 - 14:39
he’ll have more than a few questions to answer when he does wake up i’m afraid…
January 29th, 2007 - 17:55
Where do I go to have my name changed to Uno? Anyone know?
Anyone?
January 29th, 2007 - 19:41
In Second Life, Jie. With l33t programming skills, you can even be Uno.
