Note: I apologize that this isn't more well developed yet.

Howard Storm's experience is a great prototype of death experiences as related to LDS belief. It is heavily reminiscent of Alma II's experience and of Lehi's dream. Storm was invited by spirits into a dark and dreary waste where he wandered for many hours (or weeks) until he came to an abyss where he was racked and tormented until his mind caught hold on the thought of a Savior and called out for Jesus to have mercy on him. Then what light did he behold, and he was filled with joy as exquisite as was his pain.

On June 1, 1985, 38 year old Howard Storm, an atheist, found himself in the spirit overlooking his body in a hospital room. Anger and frustration overcame him. "This is crazy! I can’t be standing here looking down at myself. That’s not possible," he told himself.
