THE ARRIVAL OF A PRINCE
by
Anthonystjoseph
Suddenly, as it often happens, the person
awakes not knowing where they are… A new
arrival has come… He awakes on the floor
of an elevator and is quite unaware of where he is. He is slightly delirious but slowly regains
his bearings. He doesn’t understand why
he is standing and at the same time staring at his body lying on the floor of
his very own elevator. Why does his body
look pale and why are his eyes closed.
He turns towards the elevator doors and as they open he sees a
remarkable world of light. He walks out of
the door of the elevator and sees a golden path leading him in a certain
direction.
For some strange reason he decides to
leave his body behind and follow the path of the golden road. He hears a voice in the distance and
recognizes it as an old friend. The
voice elegantly, soothingly, and with an ethereal quality sings, “Hey! Did you happen to see!? My sweet
baby… He was walking on down the road...” He sees where the voice is coming from and
it’s a beautiful house with a large picture window in front and he sees a silhouette
of a woman singing into a microphone behind sheer curtains and a golden light and
knows immediately who it is. The woman’s
voice is completely recognizable to his ears.
He is completely drawn to the house.
He walks towards the home as the woman continues to sing and for the
first time since the elevator, he starts to smile…
He walks up to the door of the
house. The door opens and a blinding
light emerges but doesn’t alter or distort his vision in any way and he sees
that all of his friends are gathered there and they smile with faces of joy and
welcome him home…
