Moses page 9 by ric gustafson
Moses heard the overseer yelling as he walked by one of the huts. He saw him shaking an old man. " Why did you shirk work today?".
" I'm sorry" the old man said as he pleaded for his life. " I was taking care of my sick wife".
" That is no excuse for being a slacker". He punched the old man in the chest and he fell to the ground.
Anger swelled in Moses's eyes. He quickly walked over and threw him onto the ground.
The overseer quickly stood up and drew a dagger to protect himself. He thrust it at Moses.
Moses was faster and held onto the overseer's wrist. He raised the overseer's wrist and dug the dagger into the Egyptian's neck. The overseer died from the sudden massive blood loss and Moses knew he had to do something about the body.
In the early morning light, he dug a grave with his bare hands and buried the body of the Egyptian. He quickly looked around to make sure nobody had seen him and then he walked away.
