Angels

Moments after the accident, the angels stood looking at the wreckage,
trying to come to a compromise as to who should be taken.

"We cannot take the children, they are young and innocent." cried one angel.

"We must," explained another "the innocence above must also be preserved."

"But how many?" wondered a third "To take them all, and leave their
loved ones to mourn would not be right."

"We shall take two," proclaimed the first "in this way, the parents will mourn,
but will still have a child to raise when all is done."

"No." muttered the second, and wisest of them all. "We will take two innocents,
but we must also take a protector. The womans job is not yet done.
She will raise her child to do great.
The man has taught many in his time here.
They will go on to do great things. The man has served his time, and deserves to rest."

The others having agreed with the wise one,
three new angels were gained.

Author notes

Based on a true story that recently happened around here. An entire families vehichle was hit by a wood chipper that fell out of the back of a truck. The man and two of his children were killed, while his wife, and his third child (they were triplets) survived. The child is still in critical condition in the hospital. Oh, the man was one of my teachers.

Please tell me what you think

    I liked it. It's sad, but I hope they don't mourn for too long. I hope the child will recover soon. Goodluck to you!!!!!

    overall: 7.
