>The writer Philip K Dick wrote a short story (I can't remember the name - Warning spoilers below) where an Astronaut was trapped in a space accident and dying. As he was dying, he hallucinated Jesus Christ coming towards him. At first he was happy but then he was horrified as Christ began to tear chunks of his flesh out with his teeth! Then he died. I had to look for this. I think the short story is called "Rautavaara's Case" and can be found in these collections: https://pkdickbooks.com/shortstories/TheRautavaarasCase.php https://pkdickbooks.com/shortstories/TheRautavaarasCase.php.

Thank you! My Google-Fu totally failed me, and I was worried I had hallucinated reading the same PKD story as the guy who wrote that blog who also couldn't remember the name, or maybe we came from the same parallel alternate universes! (Kinda like Faith Of Our Fathers, where there actually were several different parallel universes, but the government put hallucinogens in the water to make everybody think they were living in the same reality.) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faith_of_Our_Fathers_(short_story) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faith_of_Our_Fathers_(short_st...
