Short Story: The heaviness of life can weigh us down in more ways than one

Brad had fallen over recently, and he had broken his arm. lt was still plastered up, when he had another accident. Brad fell off a pier, that he was walking along, when somebody running quickly past him, knocked him into the water. Brad was floundering, in danger of drowning, as the weight of his arm pulled him down. Suddenly, he was under the water, short of breath, panicking. He was soon to drown. Brad went unconscious, which helped him a bit, as his mouth was closed, and his breathing stopped by itself. Then, Brad died, and he found himself in another world. A lady there said to him, "Welcome Brad, you have arrived in the afterlife." Meanwhile, a rescue lifeguard had seen what had happened. He threw in a life raft, then jumped in, and he pulled Brad up onto it. Applying resuscitation techniques, he brought Brad back to life. Brad opened his eyes again, saw the lifeguard, and said to him, "but, where is the lady?" "Only me here, lucky for you, Brad," John, the guard replied. Brad described the woman to him, while wondering to himself, how this man knew his name. "Why," the man said, "That sounds like it is my late wife Wanda. She often helps me in a rescue these days, since she died." Brad said, "How lucky that was for me." "No luck," John said, "She also directs me to be in the right place at the right time." Afterword. There is always somebody in the right place, and the right time, to look after us. God makes sure of that. The heaviness of life weighs us down, so we are often left floundering in deep waters, but if we look around, there is always somebody else, used to these deeper waters, that can help to pull us out of them, and put us back on the path of life again.
