A Plea and the Two Witnesses consist of a letter and two short stories that may seem rather different from one another, yet are written with the same hand. And while the letter is rooted in fiction, the two short stories are written in reality. And while each was written with the same inspiration in mind, what that inspiration is could depend on if you ever shouted out a plea or have been a witness to something that goes beyond ordinary explanation--you just might be surprised that at some point you have.

A Plea and the Two Witnesses
BookRix GmbH & Co. KG81371 MunichA Visible Angel
It was nearly the perfect, late autumn day for Aiden Rogers. It was the kind of day that started with a rush of excitement. His favorite National Football League team secured a spot in the soon to be playoffs the day before and he could not wait to get to school. It was the kind of day in which Mister McKay decided to give in to his fourth grade boys’ pleas and tossed them a football for the morning recess. It was the kind of day that brought an early snowstorm that was dusting the playground with fine white snowflakes. The day was a day that coats and jackets were shed for a heated pickup game of two-hand-touch football. But for Aiden the best part of the day was yet to come.
After the bell rang, Aiden ran up to his best friends Jacob and Trevor. They were slowly making their way back to the classroom. Nearly out of breath, he huffed out clouds of misty smoke while waiting for the rush of excitement to calm down. Finally, just before reaching the classroom, he looked at Jacob and asked, “How ‘bout after school we play football?”
“Whose house?” asked Trevor.
“Your house. I know your dad will let us go out and play even though it’s snowing.”
“Sure. I got to do homework and eat dinner first,” added Trevor.
“Me too,” responded Jacob.
“Good. Then we all meet after dinner at Trevor’s house.”
With the plan in place the three boys ran up the stairs and rushed to their table. They all knew not to upset Mister McKay and ruin their plan to play a pickup game at lunch recess.

Aiden quickly stopped and slightly slid on the snowy street. Out of the corner of his eyes he watched Jacob slip and just about tumble to the ground as he reacted too quickly to the patented move.
“I’m open!” he screamed at Trevor. Just as the football came flying to him in a perfect spiral Jacob came behind him and took a swat at the ball, but it was too late. Aiden caught and cradled the football into his stomach. And with finely timed precision he quickly swung around and raced to the end zone. “Touchdown!”
Trevor came running at him. The two jumped and bumped chests in celebration for the quick score.
Jacob came up to them and growled, “I swear one day I’m going to intercept that pass.”
But they were the best of friends and Jacob turned the frown upside down and began to hoot and holler with joy. It was time to switch. Aiden now became the defender, Jacob the quarterback, and Trevor the receiver.
As Jacob and Trevor huddled up, Aiden knew their time together was growing shorter. The sun had dipped below the horizon and only a little bit of light remained among the gathering clouds. It was a matter of time before Trevor’s dad called him in for the night and Jacob and he would have to go home. For Aiden, however, going home was different.
