A few minutes had passed and with the gust of wind, Kal felt something brush his leg. He cleared his face from the moisture to realize it was an
orange envelope package. He picked it up with both hands and examined it. To his
surprise, he saw the strange letters of his own name in bold permanent markings. Kal looked at his surroundings, wondering if anyone in this city knew him.
He thought hard while he quickly opened the thick orange envelope. Without a doubt
there was a letter inside that was meant for him to read. He took it out and read it slowly.
Dear Kal,

This may be strange for the both of us, but a voice
spoke to me. Our God in heaven has impressed upon my
heart to help a stranger such as yourself. I hope that the
contents of this package will be useful for you… A word of

orful lights filled the sky and people gathered to see the beautiful sight. He
watched them as he saw the various emotions and expressions on their faces.
For the first time in a long while, Kal smiled to himself as he got up

begun to ignite his cold heart. At first it was small, but it kept getting brighter
and brighter as he continued to step forward. An epiphany struck him as he
witnessed the kindness – and the love of God that was in front him all along.
This light that shone so bright was continuing to burn. It was so passionate,
so enjoyable, and so transient. Before he knew it, Kal was already wishing in
his heart that the fireworks within him would keep burning for awhile longer.
He grinned to himself as he ran home; Canada was after all a country of freedom
filled with bountiful gifts.

astounded to discover an enormous amount of money. Suddenly the fireworks erupted from behind him, causing him to jump from his seat. The col-

When I returned back to London I remained
as a ghost. My country forgot me; why should I be remembered? I lived several years like a ghost still trying to find what I had lost all those years ago. My life
had gone down hill, I was married, but I had to leave
her all alone, I remember telling her before I left the
war that I could wait to see her when I returned from
the war. But now she believes I’m dead and her seeing me may hurt her even more than it already has.

That day is the day that I had finally
found what I had lost all those years ago. I had finally
found the memories of my father, I remember that they
day we went to visit Big Ben, my father was murdered
and I had lost all of the wonderful times that I

day I did not just lose my father on that very day I had
lost my childhood. Today I have finally found peace,
my soul is at rest. I r
