WHO IS HE?

There she was lying lifeless on the bathroom floor. Her face soaked in tears, as well as her hair. She gave out a faint cry trying to regain her consciousness. She struggled to open her eyelids and was stung by the glaring bathroom light. As she slowly lifted up her head, she felt a hard throbbing pain. She immediately brought both hands to clench her head but there was a worse pain on her left wrist.

"Aaah!" she shrieked a the top of her lungs. The sight of her slit wrist with endless blood flow made her tremble in fear.

At that very second, her hand phone rang. It was right beside her and she grabbed it. "BABY" was flashing on the screen. She answered.

"Dear? Where are you?" a voice on the other end. "I'm at your door now!"

Abigail was unable to reply but cried her heart out.

"What's happening? Come and open now!"

Abigail crawled her way out and reached the main door. She unlocked it and stared at the figure standing in front of her. It was Brian, her fiance. She smiled. Within seconds, her head spun and she collapsed.

Sweet smell of spring and the sound of water woke Abigail. She found herself lying on a cloud-like blanket and noticed that she was in a small hut, furnished with just a round wooden table, 2 stools, a jug of water, a loaf of bread, a bottle of red wine, a bowl of fruits and a bottle of olive oil. There were 2 quaint-looking windows by each side of the entrance.

Abigail felt like she was in the house of the 7 dwarfs. Ironically, she was clad in a beautiful white cloud. However, she felt warm and calm being in that strange place. She walked out of the hut and the rays of the sun felt like a welcome hug. The scenery outside was picture perfect. A beautiful rose garden, a pond with ducks and ducklings paddling, an ancient well....precise fairy tale!!

She was startled by a strange sound. Abigail turned towards it and saw so many lambs surrounding a man. He was clad in a robe and had a long cane in his hand. He was playing with the flock of sheep around him. Abigail was intrigued by this person and took her steps towards him.

He stood up and faced her when she reached. His eyes were piercing blue, wavy shoulder length hair and a bright light of glory behind him. Abigail's eyes welled up with tears and she felt her limbs going numb.

Who is he?
