The Christmas Eve, by Yola M. Caecenary

They truly hoped that the downpour would stop soon as they couldn’t bear the cold any longer. Both brother and sister held each other in silence, and no one could tell whether the rain or tears were on their faces.

Bells and Christmas carols were heard as a man in the bright face and long hair drew near with an umbrella. Both the children shivering because of cold and fear.

“Come with me,” asked the man.

They were hesitant.

“Don’t be afraid. I came for you. You’ll have food and shelter."

The children inexplicably felt peaceful and went with him.
