He turned to see a teenage girl.

I am one of your guardian angels. I’ve watched you grow up.

You are given a choice because of your pure heart, the kindness & generosity you have shown to others, & the pain you have gone through in your lifetime. All I want is an answer.” “What kind of choice?” “You can leave everything behind, end your pain, your suffering, and your loss to come with me to heaven, or you can your continue your life on earth a beaten, broken, & bruised man suffering until you are chosen to die.” “What?” |
