The Accident

Daniel lay prone in the tall grass for long moments. The ladder lay across his chest. Karissa screamed, "Danielle!" when she saw the ladder fall through the kitchen door and threw it open with a hard bang. The glass shattered around the steps and fell into the flower bed below. Instinctively Karissa dodged glass shards on the bottom step. She grappled with the cell phone in her back pocket without breaking stride to Daniel's side.

"Wake up! Please wake up!"
Karissa dropped to her knees, the phone dialing 911 and her sobs punctuated the rings.

"911, what's your emergency?" a calm voice questioned.

"My husband, he's not moving!"
Karissa touched his face. Blood poured from a wound on his scalp.

The operator spoke quietly and gathered the location.

"Someone is on the way. I'll stay with you until they arrive, Ma'am"

Karissa heard the ambulance siren in the distance. She felt the baby kicking in her womb with the exertion. She sent up a quiet prayer to God to save her husband's life.

and the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.
James 5:15 KJV
