Veritas Contest 2001 - Selected Story

And so came that day. Great and full of glory. The Lord came to redeem this land. The last day of our history. And I was on the way to church to pray five Ourfathers for satisfaction for all our offences against God. I was just starting to pray when the great moment came. It was light, people around me became agitated, they ran outside the church; screaming, murmor. I looked around me and asked myself - What is going on?. Our Lord is God! - He came to redeem the land! - He came! - His promise is now fulfilled! - Let's run! - Quicker! - Let's go and meet him! The scramble started, all sorts of feelings mixed, our spirits, souls and bodies are all overwhelmed. I got confused. But, I put together all my forces and did not give up. I squeezed and put all my efforts into continuation of praying five Ourfathers to my God. Come on, come out! Let's go out! But, I did not give up. It was not easy, everything was against me, and almost every one went out, the light became brigher and brighter, noise inside and outside. But those five Ourfathers were mine.

Finally, I came out and ran. The gates were already closing! Without breath I stood in front of the gate. I said to God: Here I am!
