I once believed that heaven was located inside my heart and that when people died, they took up residence inside my chest (I imagined these people carving a city in my heart). I was a little worried about what would happen to them when it started to get too crowded--I thought that some of them might migrate to other body parts and I didn't want them to start building things in my stomach, too.
I don't really know where I got this idea from, but I was convinced that I had a bunch of miniature dead people wandering around in my ribcage for a while.
