IS GOD LISTENING?

A story inspired by true events

Marc is a wimpy teenager who hardly anyone cared about. Many friends hate him, so he is usually a loner. Every night, he prays to The Almighty God so he could start having friends and also ask The Lord to give all life on Earth long lifetimes, happy memories, et cetera. But most of all, he was very afraid to land in HELL, the realm hotter than the insides of Mount Vesuvius and darker than the Alcatraz prison at nighttime. The chance of escaping HELL would probably be a trillion to 0,1. No human ever had a wish to be cast away into the deep treacherous chambers of this dark underworld. Life in that place would probably make the life of a WW2 soldier look like a multiplayer online match of Battlefield 3. Anyway, we now know that Marc prays for the universe’s safety and for the dead to safely live in Heaven every single night but doesn't realize that The Almighty One has already granted his prayers until one day. On that day, in school, Marc got bullied by some troublemakers. “Jeez, Marc, you are such a dork!” “Yeah, maybe from now on we should start calling him 'Geek Boy'!” “HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA...-” After school, Marc felt real pissed. He knew he wasn't a strong guy who could stand up to a posse of muscled teens, but he just wanted to get revenge. That's when he realized that God had actually answered his prayers. Yes readers, I know it's very weird, but Marc soon realized that God had helped him, but in a strange way: He claimed that The Almighty One must have somehow make the bullies inadvertently help Marc resist them . Marc guessed that if he attempted to counterattack the bullies he would make a sin and lose the fight anyway. Soon he realized that God really had granted his other prayers as well. He had accepted the prayer sent by Marc that most of the world's population could still live on, and other things Marc asked for in his prayers. If God didn't answer the Earth's prayers, we would be no more. From that day on, Marc truly believed in Him and continued to help other people (and himself) with doing good deeds. He grew up to be a priest and died at the age of 103. Guess The Great One really granted his prayer. To all the readers out there, don't believe that He never listens to any of our prayers. If your prayers don't get granted, it's probably because you haven't tried your best, so don't give up praying to Him.

The End
