 Lazarus and Mr Tucker page 5 by ric gustafson

Lloyd and Fred walked out of the underground parking elevator. 

" Lloyd, you haven't stopped smiling since hearing the news about the old man".

" I can't help it". He put his hand on the door of his Lexus. Just then, chest discomfort made him slump to the ground. " Fred, call 911".

Lloyd's eyes began to close. " I feel like I'm dying".

Lloyd opened his eyes. He glanced around the pitch black room. ' Where am I' he wondered. The unknown began to invade his thoughts. He could see a window on the side wall. He inched toward it. He was already thirsty. What bothered Lloyd the most was that he was beginning to feel totally alone. As if God had totally left him. He was becoming aware of being in a continous flame. 

He stared through the tiny window. He could not believe what he was seeing. He could see Father Abraham holding in his arms the old man from his work gate.

Thirst and the constant flame was already beginning to drive him mad.
