Title : The Man With Two Sons.
Writer : Marcus


Prelude :



In a long distant land in Germany 1892, there was a man that named Julius. He had 2 obedient and loving sons. Their names were Jeff(Younger son) and Max (Older son ). They lived at an isolated cottage near the outskirts of town. There are a family of hardwork and labour and grow crops to earn a living.They have great patience and dicipline about thier lives and seem to have good reputation amongst the villages.Though everthing seems to be happy at this point , think again.





One day, Julius went to a bar and met an old friend(Greg). They were reminiscencing about the past and all the war that has gone through. At the stroke of midnight, they were completely unsober and had a fight for a minor issue. That fight made julius leg crippled, and he was in a miserable state after then.

When he when back home , his sons were completely in a shock and vowed to their father for revenge. Their father just shook his head an took a rest. The next day they were at the market selling their crops to the villages. They met Greg beside the blacksmith. They confronted him and wanted to take revenge for their father. So, both of them took a sharp steel bar from the blacksmith and hit Greg on the head until he could not move. They rush back in fear and leaving their crops in the market.

The day turned dark and they were at the dining table of their house. Their fathers asked, "My sons, how did business go today?" Max replied , "It was rather bad father, it seems that not many people were there at the market today." Through the tone of his son's voice the father could predict something had happened. So he asked again, "Are you sure that not many people were there today? They just replied yes. As they eat, a door knock could be heard at their door. Two soldiers came in with a corpse in a bag and asked them whether they knew how did he died. Julius was shocked that it was Greg in that particular bag. He looked at his sons and said " Boys, did you do this?" They just shook their heads and the soldiers left them.


At night, the boys could feel Greg's soul tormenting them and they could hear his voice shouting, " Why did you do this to me, WHY?" They got a shock of their lives and before they knew it they suffered till dawn. The next day, they did their same daily routine and pretended the night was a fluke. At the farm their father sat and cried to the skys with sorrow. Max asked his father, "Father is there anything the matter?" The father confessed something that would made both of his sons in anger. Their father said "Greg did not made me crippled, it was I who accidentally got run over by a wagon, IT WAS I" The sons said " But Father , you said Greg fought with you and made you crippled." The father was in silence and replied, "I was drunk, I said things that aren't true. Now that Greg is dead i feel that its my fault he is gone." The sons told their father the truth and all Julius could do was feel even worst.

Suddenly, the skies turned dark and the atmospheric pressure of their place became very high. A hurricane was summoned from the skies, it swept everthing away and the whole family was dead. At the brink of their awake, they were on a state of soul purgatory and they were questioned by the gods in the sky for their sins. The sons were blaming their father for the murder they have caused and the father just accepted the reality and was ready for any eternal damnation to happen. But it was judged that the father was not as guilty as the sons were for he did not commit murder. The sons were casted to hell for their sentence. Julius was given a chance to live his life again for taking the whole blame in account for his love towards his sons. He lived miserabaly and alone after that.




Moral of the story :

Revenge does not solve anything, it only purchases a ticket to hell faster. If you love someone so much, solve the matter without using violence. Although we humans are designed to destroy and love, we must control ourself no matter what to stay away from sins. In addition, always admit you are wrong, in that way you may still be forgiven. In deep love , there is also deep hurt.


Thank you.
