Tom was on the operating table when his heart stopped beating and he was officially pronounced dead. Suddenly, his heart restarted and he came back to life. Tom reported seeing a long tunnel, a bright light, and some angels.
Friends said the miracle was part of God's plan and Tom must have some unfulfilled purpose here on Earth.Since then, Tom actively avoids fulfilling that purpose, whatever it might be. He just hangs around the house, and does nothing all day. Because any random accomplishment, any accidental good deed, could be fatal, and Tom isn't taking any chances.
