The Greatest Tempatation

The Greatest Temptation

An exceedingly glad man was travelling the country one day when he came across a crowd filled with people cheering; There were a dozen people coming off this birdlike machine with boxes in their hands filled with gold and diamons and jewels. A man that was dressed in a suit, fancy like with a hat, announces their arrival. People of all nations, i thank you for being here today to witness the first contest ever introduced to mankind! each person who enters the contest and survives gets a box from each of my servants, and not only that, you will live in my mansion with me freely, having your own servants. It is simple, we here have accomplished it in three days, all that is required, will be candles,food,water,toiletries,bags to carry all the things you think you will need on this journey. We all travelled home to collect our things; i packed for seven days incase! then returned to the birdlike machine where the man in the suit was. Everybody was already there waiting, there was over a billion people, i honestly thought we were going to be sent away considering the fact that they cannot possibly have the resources they promised to provide to each contestant if they win the contest! surely if they took three days we are able to accomplish it in three days or less, why would they make such a contest, suprisingly we were all able to enter. We were placed in these birdlike machines that took us up into the air, much like a bird does, and when landed, we were lead into a big tower with many windows, and into silver rectangle rooms with two doors, one on each side that closed you into the rectangle room and down we went, a feeling much like the bird machine, but different, it was nauseating, but luckily we landed before my body was about to throw the waste out of my mouth. The men who escorted us departed from us, it began to feel cold, and was very dark and echoey, that we had all litten our candles and started journeying until we reach the end.  Days started to turn into weeks, then months, eight months had passed and all their suppplies had run out long before, many stopped and started to cry and bicker, some started to pray and sing, many ended their lives with any object they found on the ground and the rest carried on the journey. The man who once was exceedingly Glad became hungry and weak, as he kept repeating the same things. bumping into things and stopping to try see what it is, then carrying on with the journey once he figured it out, his spirit failed him, he began to cry and as he fell on his knees he begged God and pleaded in the name of his son Jesus to free him from the prison he was bound in until death, that he may return to his family, his friends and those who need him, and as he finished his prayer a bright light appeared before him and he stood and ran towards it, before he could reach it a figure appeared out of nowhere and charged towards him with a great big smile. You look like you are without, have you no belongings, let me help; The figure shewed unto the Glad man all the things that he had created, houses, cars, money, clothes...everything you could possibly want, he said to the man, but these i give to you only if you promise to stay down here with me ok, the man was smiling until "stay" reached his ears, Stay? i must go, my family waits for me and i to see them, it has been such a long journey, the figure pleaded, you dont need them if you have everything here with me. The man was filled with Wrath, HOW DARE YOU accuse those i live for of not being worthy of my presence, The man informed the figure, anyways where were you when i suffered? eight months you left me to travel in the dark and starve, what about the others who are in here, do you offer the same? if so, why do they cry still? if i was to take your gifts and you leave, i wont be able to see the gifts you have given, how then will it be useful to me? but if i decide to continue towards the light that appeared unto me when my life failed me and had me begging for salvation, would it then not save me.
