Just another Angel story

His father was the only martyr in the local factory lockout

The police-station said “Go back home, it’s politically sensitive. Too risky to even lodge a complaint.”

The workers’ party had organized for a ceremonial one evening. One speaker even shed tears on stage

The money that the local minster promised- never came in however.

The mother eventually started going to work somewhere-deep in the night

And every morning she would come back & cry for some odd reason.

One night it was raining heavy & some drunken men dragged her out of home

No one knows why she hasn't ever returned after that .It’s been more than a year now.

A 10 year old boy & an even younger sister at home – perennial hunger for company

Just when he was convinced that the world doesn't care, a messiah came knocking at the door.

It was early morning and he had brought rice with him ... some milk for the little sister

“There’s another world beyond the world you've seen” he said “Come. I will take you there “

These days, he goes for early morning classes: they've shown him videos & narrated incidences

Countless are suffering around the world. “And you will stand up for all of them”- the messiah said.

Next week, his training to be a suicide-bomber begins: he’d overheard. “What’s that?”- He asked

“We are training you to be an Angel. And then, you shall fly to the other world”
