Do You Believe In Angels

Diane, a Christian University student, was visiting some hometown friends while on a summer vacation from College. She was catching up on all the stories her girlfriends and she wanted to share with each other. They got carried away sharing with each other and before you knew it, it was very late. Diane hugged her friends and headed out. She lived several blocks away. It was very dark and she felt somewhat uncomfortable by herself, walking home alone. As she was walking she decided to take a shortcut through an alleyway. Midway through the alley. She felt as though she was being watched! An eerie feeling overtook her. Her emotions were overtaken by uncontrollable fear. She was shocked when from the corner of her eye, she saw a male figure staring directly at her! She immediately felt threatened! He was not just looking. He reminded her of an animal seeking out its prey. The prey was her! Immediately she started praying as she was approaching this male figure. She walked past him and got close enough to get a good look at him. She then started running! Faster than she has ever run before! Seeing her house, she was almost there. She fumbled with her house keys. They felt like a lifetime to find and unlock the front door! Diane felt relieved being behind close doors. She sat down and caught her breath. She grabbed a towel and wiped her sweat from her face. She drank a glass of cold water and laid in bed until finally she was calm enough to allow herself to sleep. The next morning reading the local newspaper, she read where a woman was raped approximately 20 minutes after she had passed through that same alleyway, she had walked through. The newspaper said the police were looking for witnesses. A suspect was arrested and Diane volunteered to pick out the man she had seen that night, from a line up of five men. She picked out the man in the lineup that she had seen. The police further questioned him and he finally admitted to committing the rape. The police thanked Diane and asked her if there was anything they could do for her. Diane said there is one thing. Could you please ask the perpetrator why he didn't attack the first woman he saw in the alleyway. The police asked him. His reply was,"There were two huge tall whitish men on each side of her. That is why!" This story circulated on the internet. Nayda Negron Angels Contest
