The night
fell heavy in the heights of the mountains and the man could not see anything.
All was black. Zero visibility, and the moon and the stars were covered by the
clouds. As he was climbing only a few feet away from the top of the mountain,
he slipped and fell in to the air, falling at great speed. He could only see
black spots as he went down, and the terrible sensation of being sucked by
gravity.
He kept
falling and in the moments of great fear, it came to his mind all the good and
bad episodes of his life. He was thinking now about how close death was
getting, when all of a sudden he felt the rope tied to his waist pull him very
hard. His body was hanging in the air.
Only the rope was holding
him and in that moment of stillness he had no other choice other to scream:
"Help me God".
All of a
sudden a deep voice coming from the sky answered, "What do you want me to
do?"
"Save me
God".
"Do you
really think I can save you?"
"Of
course I believe You can."
"Then
cut the rope tied to your waist."
There was a
moment of silence and the man decided to hold on to the rope with all his
strength. The rescue team tells that the next day a climber was found dead and
frozen. His body hanging from a rope. His hands holding tight to it. Only one
foot away from the ground.!!!!!
