What if the opposite of what was claimed actually occurred?".
REVIVAL
A car driving at high speeds on a highway abruptly stops in the middle of the road, and all other vehicles behind it halt to avoid an accident. People get out of their cars, yelling and cursing at the car in the middle of the road. Nobody got out of that car that stopped suddenly.
This occurrence is the result of events that occurred a month ago. September 10th, at St. Bernards University, like any other day in literature final year class, Professor Riya calling out names for attendance stops at Joey's name and calls out the same name repeatedly, but no one responds, the entire class is silent, and after a pause Mrs. Riya questions a few students about what happened to Joey, "who has been absent for nearly 10 days already." Joey is undergoing treatment, according to one of his friends, and his parents are not allowing anyone to meet him. Mrs Riya, concerned, instructs that friend to gather some of Joey's pals in order to visit him and make him feel better.
Mrs. Riya and a few students made the decision to pay Joey a visit in the evening. All of them gathered outside the college at 5 o'clock and then went to Joey's residence. All of them began shouting and calling out Joey's name in front of Joey's house while carrying various candies, bouquets, and chocolates. When Joey's family members began to fear, his parents rushed out and begged them to leave and not bother him. However, the friends wouldn't leave until they had a chance to meet Joey. Eventually, Joey's parents agreed and led the friends to Joey's room.
As they entered the room, they saw something very strange, very disturbing, Joey was chained like a retard and everyone was shocked, but Mrs Riya with a warm smile goes closer to Joey and starts speaking to him, even friends came up closer to him and starts singing, trying to make him laugh and stuffs, but he didn't utter a word.
To make sure nothing goes wrong, Joey's father phones the doctor in the interim. As soon as the doctor entered the room to perform a checkup, all of the pals zipped up. Joey approached the doctor and smiled as he asked for help returning to college. Joey's buddies felt saddened by this and began asking the doctor what they could do to support Joey. The doctor then begins to inform them on Joey's condition and counsels them to continue paying frequent visits to him despite his lack of response.
So, with the doctor's approval, these friends take Joey for a spin around town. Joey starts screaming and falls unconscious while looking at something. Everyone there became terrified and despised him, and he was brought back home. As they forced him to lie on the bed, he opened his eyes and began screaming and yelling a name over and over. After witnessing this occurrence, Joey's buddies resolved to assist him in regaining his normalcy.
These friends began to visit Joey on a daily basis, and after three weeks, Joey began to heal, feeling all right and normal. Joey's friends and classmates were overjoyed at the news that he would be returning to college, and Joey's parents were overjoyed with gratitude and praised God for everything.
BACK TO NORMAL
Joey's friends and classmates prepared a surprise event to welcome Joey back to college after such a traumatic and painful experience. They planned and prepared a joyous celebration with all of Joey's favourite things.
And on that day, as Joey entered the classroom, he was greeted with a grand and surprise welcome, complete with cheers of joy and singing. Joey couldn't believe it was all happening there, he was filled with immense joy and happiness, with tears in his eyes, he was laughing, and all the friends felt great about that moment, which brought back smiles and laughter in Joey's face. It was an incredible event that disconnected him from his darker background and set him free.
