Being Mrs Spence

She looked back and it was almost grabbing her, she was tired from running. The horrified looking darkness in formed of a monster won’t give up chasing her.

She kept panting hard as she ran with the little strength left in her.

Her body has several bruises, some of her wound was almost decaying. She was tasty and hungry yet she couldn’t give up.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

She saw a golden gate, so beautiful with high fences. There was a man standing inside the gate.

Finally there is Hope of a rescue for her. She was relieved as she ran towards the gate.

She kept hitting on it.

“Open up please… monster of the dark is after me. Please open let me in. I’m tired, tasty and hungry. I need help… please open. The monster is almost getting to me…

“No, this is not a place for people like you… only for those without blemish or spot. Go back and wash yourself that you may become clean. Return back after then, just at the approved time and the gate will automatically open for you. The master warned against people like you… return back my lady and do as I instructed…

She was panting and angry at the same time.

“Didn’t you hear any of what I just said? There is a horrible monster destroying lives and properties… he is after me. I have been running from it yet I can’t get away from it. I’m hungry, tasty and tired… Please let me in. Be merciful and don’t turn me away. There is no place to go back to… nothing to go back to. If you leave me out here I will be engulfed, swallowed up totally by the monster of darkness… please save me.

The man didn’t reply

“… okay, if you can’t open the gate can you atleast give me water to quench my taste or even some food? Please…

She saw the scary darkness traveling towards her with speed.

… please… open. Look, the evil is coming… I can’t keep up like this. Please save me, don’t send me away. I’m begging you in the name of God… please. Don’t let this evil thing consumes me. Have mercy on me I’m helpless… have mercy. Don’t do this to me… I’m ready to do whatever you ask of me… open the gate for me. I want to come in… look… look is here already. Jesus…

She cried out loudly as the darkness was almost getting to her.

She picked race, this time her legs couldn’t carry her but she kept running.

She was weak, she fell down many times while running.

She was crying as tears poured down. She was barefooted, sweat covered her body. her cloths torn, her wound stinks badly. Her legs couldn’t carry her. Her throat was patched with taste.

She was tired, she’s can’t continue.

She was going to die anyway and the monster will feed on her flesh.

Is better to surrender now, no better time than now.

She stumbled and fell, tries to get up but couldn’t. She remained still on the ground.

She shut her eyes and began to mutter the name of Jesus severally.

“I can’t do this God… I’m tired. Help me… help me. I don’t want to be consumed neither can I keep up with the race. I’m tired… I’m weak… help me… please… I need your help.

She kept muttering silently to herself and just then a light appear from a far distance. It was like a single spot star that Sparks brightly.

A man was beside the light, urging her to get up. She saw his golden face that shone brightly with the light.

Her eyes was closing up. She was tired of everything and death was close by, her strength has failed her. Maybe death us the solution.

She surrendered herself for the monster to feast on.

But the more she focused on the light she felt energised. Her strength was renewed but the moment she takes off her eyes and looked at the scary darkness she became very weak.

The man with the shining light kept urging her forward but her fear was greater than her Faith.

She looked back at the darkness that swims heavily towards her.

She was too weak to scream as the monster begin to swallow her up.

She realized that their were others too being swallowed by the same monster.

They were shouting and screaming as they fall to their damnation.

She was too tired to shout.

She couldn’t shout, her throat closed up. Her breathing suddenly ceased. the deeper she falls the closer she was to everlasting doomed.

When all hope was gone, a strong hand grabbed her, the hand began to pull her out gently and carefully.

It kept pulling despite how the evil monster was equally pulling down at her from under ground.

This stronger arm didn’t let go, she hanged onto him tight as he pulled.

Several other scary hands kept pulling her to the darkest doomed but she found herself going up as the strong arm pulls.

She was pulled out of the ocean of darkness.

The monster made a grumbling angry echoing noise that sent fear all over her before it disappears.

She looked up at the man that just saved her, he was same man with a shining light.

Her weakness has left her, she can see clearly and energised too.

She remembered other people falling to their doom and quickly told the man to also help and save them.

“They never asked for my help. You called out to me to help you and I answered your call. I only rescue those who wholeheartedly seeks for my help. Follow me, let’s go…

She couldn’t remember asking for the strange man’s help. She was too tired and can’t remember everything she said.

She only remember calling the name of Jesus. Praying to God to rescue her and just then the light and the man appeared before she was consumed by the monster but the strong arm rescued her.

She followed him and they walked past the beautiful gate with high fences.

“This is so beautiful, I stopped here for help but was turned away. I wish I can get inside and see the great beauty inside…

She whispered to herself but she was shocked when the man leading her replied.

“Because is not yet time and your records of earthly deeds need to be straightened. Is weak and rough and not fully qualified to enter the golden gate of life. Please follow me…

She followed quietly behind.

He led her out of the monster gate, filled with thick darkness and that’s where she fell into before the monster began to pursue her.

He led her out to a straight road.

“Keep going from here. Don’t be afraid… I’m always with you Florence. straighten what’s made weak. Align your ways and fight the good fight for your Faith. Forgive the pain you suffered and all those involved. Be a mirror for other weak souls to find strength. Don’t put out your light of kindness… let it shine even brighter. Go…

She realized then that not only did the man knows her name, her stinky wound was healed, her thorn cloths was changed to something better. She was barefooted before now she has a fine footwear on her feet.

She was renewed and a heavy burden lifted off her heart.

She looked up to thank the Man and realized that he was gone, disappeared.

He was nowhere to be found.

She awaken from her deep sleep.

Open her eyes and saw her sister Susan.

Sitting with her head relaxed back on a chair beside her. Her eyes were closed,

Probably sleeping, she looks like she haven’t slept for days.

Florence tried to stretch out her hand to touch her and found out that she had tubes stuck into her body preventing her from moving.

Her body felt numb. She wondered how long she has been here.

Just then something began to beeped loudly beside her.

Doctor rushed in, Susan woke up.

“She is back. Oh wow… she is fully back. This is beyond medical explanation. It can only be a miracle. She is back and her heart beat is normal. Wow… wow..!”

The doctor exclaimed loudly as he checked her.

Susan began to touch her, she began to scream loudly s she grabbed her hand calling her name

Florence wondered how long she has been in the hospital and why is she even here.

“Hey Suzy… what’s going on.. how long have I been sleeping.

Florence asked confused

“Three weeks and some days… you have been in a coma. God… Flo, I thought I had loosed you. Oh God… Thank you…. thank you…

Susan suddenly began to weep.

“… let me go and inform Max, he is out in his car and haven’t gone home for two days now. He has also been footing the expensive bills here . Max is an angel… he has not stopped praying for you. He was here earlier to check up before going back to his car. I will run and tell him that you’ve finally woken up…

She ran out and just then everything begin to come back like a flash.

She remembered how it happened, everything.

she took her hand down to her stomach where she stabbed herself, there was a big bulped up pipe stucked there. She felt a little sensation but there was no pain.

Florence thought of the monster, the scary darkness the beautiful golden gate the man with the shining light.

She shut herself and whispered

“Thank you God for another chance to life. grateful I will always be to you alone who owns life itself. thank you… thank you..

She continued saying her thanks with a true heart filled with Thanksgiving.
