An interesting and fresh take on the prompt! This story was nicely conceived. Less is almost always more and you do this quite well! Your story takes us on a journey with Emily as she navigates her grief. We question whether she managed to traverse the divide between the land of the living and the dead or whether she was simply dreaming. We suspect it's the former and that she has had a glimpse of the afterlife, and we wait for the mention of chocolate as the story concludes. Albeit slightly predictable, our hope is confirmed, and we feel uplifted and hopeful for her. If I had to add anything, it's that the impact of the chocolate would have been greater if the mention of it had been more subtle, in both the Earthly and Heavenly worlds. A wonderful effort as usual, spinning your creativity outside the box.
