Richness Of His Mercy!

Ben opened his eyes and saw the light, it was shining ever so brightly, he moved towards it slowly and surely but was suddenly pulled back by rough hands. Ben was horrified to see what was pulling him back, they were hideous monsters with countless heads, horrific teeth, bad smell, scary eyes and gruesome bearing, he began to cry.

“You belong to us!” The dreadful beasts screamed.

“No! I don’t ...no!” Ben pleaded as he was held in their strong grip.

Ben fought harder than he'd ever fought before but to no avail as they were much more stronger than he was. Suddenly an illuminating light appeared from nowhere and one like an angel advanced towards him.

“Please help me! Save me please...” Ben pleaded.

The angel looked at the demons and held out a hand motioning that they stop dragging him. Ben stared at the angel in awe, the wings at the angel’s back was so huge and so pristine white while the angel was as bright as sunlight. 

“Leave him alone!” The angel said in command.

“Why? The heavens can testify that he belongs to us and that he has been a sinner from birth. This is not fair!” The demons shouted.

“The Lord says, ‘let him be’ and that’s a decree.” The angel said.

The demons let go of him but kept staring at him in want, they bickered aloud making groans and moans, all in agony at the loss of his soul.

“Thank you...thank you so much...” Ben said to the angel in gratitude.

“You are lucky Benjamin because for many, there is no pardon beyond this point!” The angel said.

Ben began to cry, he let out loud heart wrenching sobs and his wails echoed in his head. He suddenly felt a strong force drag him downward and he hit a solid surface with a loud thud.

He blinked and opened his eyes.

“Chei! See how life was wasted just like that ehn!” A male voice floated to him.

“The poor man, but how come his car dived into the other lane? Wasn’t he driving safely? Or was he drunk?” Another man asked.

“We have called the rapid response, they should be here any minute. May his soul rest in peace. The trailer driver was not harmed, but his trailer has to be impounded.” The first man said.

Ben sneezed loudly and sat up, he was lying on the side of the road.

“What? Did the dead man just sneeze? He’s alive!” Shouted one of the men as he ran up to him.

“He’s alive? How come? Did you see the car? It is destroyed completely! What? This is a miracle!” The second man said in surprise.

Ben looked at them, at first his vision was blurry but soon his eyes cleared.

“What happened?” Ben asked in a whisper.

“You survived that car accident. You are a miracle!” The man closest to him said, pointing to his car which was tucked under a trailer.

Ben looked in the direction of the man’s finger, he saw his car crushed and beyond repair and recognition, he saw the trailer tyres crush the front bonnet of the car.

“I am alive!” Ben said in gratitude.

“Yes, you are...you luckily escaped the mortuary.” The second man said in disbelief.
