Heaven can Wait

Brother Theo was not an impious man, but rather, it could be said, that he was acutely dutiful - reprimanding himself unforgivingly for every infraction and untoward slip, continuously. For it was, that he sought the Heavenly reward far more than life itself.

His suicide was not really impetuous, for he had been preparing for it, for this, for most of his life.

When Murmur had discovered him, Theo’s neck was displaced, and his head faced the East, whilst his body faced the West.

In just minutes the deceased man was revived.

Murmur was no longer young himself, and as such, had witnessed so many resurrections he had lost count of them. He literally thought nothing of it.

But to the soul he had ‘saved’ it was an entirely different matter.
