Big Arms

Judges 6:12 The Lord is with you mighty warrior

May 15, 1967...

Two 7-year-old boys Came out of the backyard there were little toy cars, a little duck with a rope to pull with and a toy truck, they were wrestling at first until one of the twins spotted another boy next door to them, he doesn't look like the other kids in the neighborhood at all, he was taller, much taller actually. He was wearing short swimming trunks and he had no shirt on, he had a dog too, it was a Vizsla breed, he sat down on a chair and took out a bottle of sunscreen, he squirts the tube into his hand. he rubbed them together and then he started to rub it on his arms, pecs, face, and stomach, he leans his head and put some sunglasses on and let the sun do its work as the dog lay down on the grass and started to sunbathe. The twins stood back up and walk slowly to the boy and his dog, when they got to the fence post they looked him closer and closer...

and closer...

and closer...

and closer...

Until one with the red hair took his finger and poke the taller boy's face and that made him jump out of his chair and the dog bark, he quickly quiets the dog as the twins stood back and cover their ears, the taller boy took off his sunglasses and see who touches his face, it was his neighbor's sons, Johnny Koals and Matthew Koals.

"Don't scare me like that you two, I could have hurt myself...and what are you two looking at anyways?" he said in a firm tone,

Matthew pointed his finger to the boy's arm "y-you have big arms..." he said

the boy looked at his greased up arms and realize the twins were just curious about his body, he calmed down a little bit and puts on his sunglasses.

"You mean...My muscles..." he quoted "I'm just trying to get a tan going on here and my dog, Vicki, is just sunbathing."

"We wished we have muscle too." Johnny smiled

"Well...You two will but you two have to wait a while to get them like 10 years or so..." he suggested

"No we won't, Uncle Jeremiah said only bad boys get big arms like yours, we are not getting them because Matthew and I are good boys." Johnny giggled

There were silents in the yard as the taller boy took off his sunglasses and he had a confused face on him

"What did you say?" He questioned

"I said, Matthew and I are good boys and good boys don't have or get big arms like yours because only Bad boys get muscles. Uncle Jerry told us that our Daddy was a bad boy too when he was like you" Johnny repeats himself

"Well...I have big arms and I'm not a bad boy, besides; probably your uncle just said that to you two just scare you two" he replies

Meanwhile, Peter was in the kitchen getting lunch ready, he looked out into the window and saw his sons talking to the neighbor's teenage son, he smiled and continued to preparing lunch, Jeremiah came downstairs with the bible in hand and sat in the dining room and started to read.

"What are the twins are doing?" Jeremiah asked his twin brother who has put down two plates of cheese sandwiches for his twins

"Oh, they're just talking to the neighbor's son" Peter answered

Jeremiah widens his eyes and got out of his chair and looked out of the window and saw the twins talking to the taller boy.

"THAT DEVIL BOY!!" He shouted as he puts down his bible on the kitchen counter

Jeremiah stomped over to the back door as Peter was trying to stop him

"Come on! Johnny and Matthew are trying to make friends, they need one badly, they only have each other" Peter grabbed his brother's arm

Jeremiah yanked his arm away and pushed Peter away until he lost his balance and fell down to the ground and cut his left cheek on his face opens.

Jeremiah walked out of the door and grabbed both of his nephews and gave the teenage boy a death glare when he went back inside of the house, he notices that Peter wasn't on the kitchen floor anymore he puts down Johnny and Matthew and started to look around the house as the twins eat their cheese sandwiches,

"Peter!" Jeremiah called "Brother where are you?"

"Uncle Jeremiah," Matthew called

"What?" The uncle questioned

"Why is there a puddle of tomato sauce on the floor?" he wonders

Jeremiah look to see what was Matthew looking at and he gasps in horror for what he saw, it wasn't tomato sauce it was blood, Jeremiah panic and started to run upstairs to find his brother. He looked in the bedrooms he looked in the bathroom and he even looked in the backyard just in case, Jeremiah, sat in the living room sweating and confused and worried, until the phone rang he ran to answered it.

"Hello! Peter!" He shouted "What!?"

Turns out, Peter went to the hospital to get stitches on his left cheek on his face so he has to stay in for surgery, he'll be back in a week. Jeremiah hung up the phone and turn to Johnny and Matthew and then he looked at the trapped door that he made when he first moved in, he walked over to it and opened it,

"John...Matthew..." he said in a calm voice

Johnny and Matthew look at their uncle and see that the trap door was opened and they knew what was going to happen, they started to shake their head no as Uncle Jeremiah looked towards them.

"Go to the cellar and pray..." he said

he grabbed the twins as they scream in horror, he throws them down into the homemade cellar and shut it and lock it. The twins started to cry as the windows and the door started open and close on their own, Jeremiah started to pray as the twins begged for their uncle to open the cellar door.

That was 10 years ago...
