Imagine being confined in a hole, a dark room with nothing but a small hole to relieve yourself. That was my reality. My body was trapped, but my mind was free despite the left side of my brain feeling numb.
The harsh reality of jail life was sinking in. A place where your health is a secondary concern, where your physical well-being is often ignored. I was ill, my body was breaking down, but instead of being taken to a hospital, I was placed in a room of isolation. This room, this hole was meant for observation, yet it felt more like solitary confinement than a medical ward. It was a test of endurance, a challenge for my spirit. I was alone, but not entirely. I had my faith, my beliefs, and I had prayer. So I decided to fast, to pray, to seek divine intervention in my predicament. For three days, I abstained from food and drink, my only sustenance being my faith and the hope of a miracle.
As the days wore on, my health deteriorated further. Yet, my spirit remained unbroken. My prayers continued, my faith unwavering. I prayed in silence, my words unspoken, but echoing in my mind. I prayed for comfort, for relief, for a sign. During these three days of fasting and prayer, one of the jailers noticed my condition. He saw my frailty, my determination, and perhaps he saw my faith. This jailer, unlike the others, showed concern for me.
He did the unexpected. He allowed me a connection to the outside world. He allowed me to call my father. Three days into my fast, a concerned jailer allowed me to call my father. It was a brief respite from my predicament, a moment of human connection amidst the bleakness of the whole. My father's voice, filled with worry and sadness, reminded me that I was not forgotten. He urged me to eat, to take care of myself, but I knew I had to continue my fast, I had to keep praying. Because in that dark room, faith was my only light. Back in the hole, out of the camera's view, I bowed my head and prayed, not out loud, but in my mind. Imagine being in the darkest corner of your existence, with nothing but the power of prayer to keep you company.
That's where our protagonist found himself. He was in dire need, not for escape, not for justice, but for something as simple as a cup of tea. So he prayed. He prayed with a fervency that could only come from desperation. And when he opened his eyes, lo and behold, there it was, a cup of tea, right where he had prayed for it to be. Astounded, he repeated the process. Once again, he prayed for a cup of tea and once more his prayer was answered. The tea miraculously appeared.
This happened not once, not twice, but three times. Each prayer for a cup of tea was answered in the blink of an eye. Overwhelmed by the power of his prayer and the immediate response, he started to question his reality. Was this really happening? Was he imagining things? So he decided to change his prayer. This time he prayed for a cup of coffee. In the silence of his mind, he let his prayer take flight. He asked not for tea, but for coffee. And when he opened his eyes, there it was, a cup of coffee.
Hand delivered by a jailer who informed him that they had run out of tea. The power of prayer had manifested itself in the most extraordinary way. It was as if the universe was bending itself to his will, answering each of his requests with unwavering immediacy. But with this divine intervention came a shift. The atmosphere in the jail took a turn and not for the better. After these miracles occurred, the atmosphere in the jail changed dramatically.
The power of prayer had brought him solace, but it had also stirred up a storm that was about to unfold. But that, my friends, is a story for another time. In the midst of these miracles, the jailer, looking like he was possessed, flung the door open and started abusing me. This is where the story takes a chilling turn.
There I was, alone in the dark room, when suddenly the door was flung open and a silhouette filled the doorway. The jailer, his face twisted in a grotesque mask of rage, began to unleash a torrent of abuses and physical torment upon me. It was as if he was taken over by a dark force, his eyes burning with an unholy fire. The abuse was relentless and brutal. The jailer, seemingly possessed, dragged me up from the floor, his fingers digging into my flesh as he hurled me around the room. I was at the mercy of his wrath. My body bruised and battered, my spirit under assault. But then, as abruptly as it had started, everything went black. (Watch video for more)
