THE BIG MATCH
“Tell me again how we got into this?” Michael said.
“You know the Boss can never resist a challenge.”
“But for Heaven’s sake – seven-a-side football?”
“We’ll beat them,” Gabe said confidently and led his
team onto the field.
With such high stakes it was a hard-fought game but,
despite the other team’s dirty tricks, Peter refereed impartially, and the
scores were even until the final minute.
Then Uriel fired a shot that flew into the corner of
the opposition’s net, the whistle blew, and the crowd went wild, throwing their
haloes in the air – the Archangels had triumphed again.

Just a bit of fun this week - light relief from the final chapter of a rewrite of Rock Fall, Book 3 in my Living Rock series. Now would be a good time to read the first two books, A Volcanic Race and Wolf Pack, both of which are available on Amazon.
