Lazarus and Mr Tucker page 6 by ric gustafson
" Father Abraham, have mercy on me and send the old man so that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool off my tongue". Lloyd began to plead. " I am in agony in this flame".
" Child, remember that during your life you received your good things and Lazarus had his things". The voice hesitated. " Now he is being comforted and you are in agony".
The lack of water was beginning to affect Lloyd.
" Besides between you and me is a great chasm". Father Abraham pointed. " Those who wish to come over from here to you cannot". The voice hesitated. " None can cross over from there to us".
" Then I beg that you send the old man to my father's house and warn my five brothers not to come to this place of torment".
" They have Moses and the Prophets, let them hear them".
Lloyd thought for a moment. " No Father Abraham, but if someone goes to them from the dead, they will repent".
" If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets". The voice again hesitated. " Neither will be persuaded if someone rises from the dead".
The End.
