salvation

Resurrection

My life had been restored to me with a new dimension, and a knowledge of a purpose that I had to accept, a project that I must undertake, for there are forces of darkness leading men to damnation. I knew I must try to defeat these forces, and that I must be true.

I was not without defences. As the light slid off my rock like mercury, and the purple and grey clouds clawed their way across the sky I prayed.

As the world went deathly still I could hear my own heart beating. It was a comfort. I concentrated on slowing my heartrate. For absolute calm, I needed less than 10 beats a minute. Contract and pump, contract and pump, contract and pump and
CRASH!!
The first thunderclap rolled across the sky like a tsunami, breaking on my rock. My heart jumped...
