13 The Survivor

(A short story)

Once there was a village so peaceful and people lived merrily. But one day, a certain group of bandits came and attacked their territory. Everything was destroyed and people were either killed or put in slavery except for one man. He survived and jumped unto the deep sea. He swam with all his strength just to escape from his enemies until he came unto a nearby country. There, in a foreign land, he started a new life where no one ever knew him. His family was all gone and also his beloved village and properties. But he never gave up. The life of Job inspired him the most, it gave him hope. Though everything was taken away from him but in God's time, everything has been replaced. That's faith — to endure and persevere.
