the messenger: a story with pictures

with his back aching after all that bending, saul gives himself a break and stands up. he had just spent a good part of the last hour combing the shore for whatever scraps the sea had to offer. and he could barely fill half his plastic bag with kinason.



saul looks around. and suddenly a bright flash of light blinds saul



he sees a form emerging from the light



it looks like a man... or maybe an angel, a messenger, who had floated across the heavens and landing here in the middle of mactan strait, sent by God to tell him to repent from all his wicked ways.



slowly the messenger from heaven walks toward saul. saul's knees quake with guilt... just this morning, he'd gotten off the jeepney without paying the driver...



the messenger now comes up to him, and with a thunderous voice, he asks saul...



"daghan na ka nakuhang kinason bai? daghan didto o..."
