The Image of God: The Tales of Mr. Nortreus by Werley Nortreus - HTML preview

Some Drivers Honked at Mr.

Nortreus

As Mr. Nortreus arrived at the park, a car nearly struck him while he was crossing the road to enter.

“Sir, pay attention to where you're walking!” A driver shouted, honking as he made his way across the street.

“Goodness! What just happened?” He murmured to himself.

“Did I just cause an accident?” He added quietly.

“I’m sorry!” He exclaimed, addressing the driver who was still honking loudly.

“Could you please move?” Another driver yelled at him.

“Alright! Fine!” He responded, hastily moving away.

Mr. Nortreus Arrived in the

Park

Upon reaching the park entrance, he noticed a large crowd, particularly families with children.

“Hello?” He greeted some individuals as they passed by.

“Good afternoon!” He said to others crossing his path, just before he settled down at the statue.

When he reached the same bench where the statue stood, he took a seat once more to carry on with his review and to pen a few new pages for his tales.

However, before diving into that, he paused to observe the people enjoying themselves in the park.

“God, I am back!” He exclaimed while gazing at the statue before sitting down. Afterward, he resumed his review and writing.

“What chapter am I on now?”

“I can't wait to complete the story.”

“Are we humans made in the Image of God?”

“Yes! Absolutely!” He responded. Celine, Kayla Took Seat After a Pause

Dear Lord!

Here come the girls!

What girls?

Well, I'm referring to Celine and Kayla, who were walking and approaching the spot where Mr. Nortreus was seated.

It was close to where they intended to sit down before Celine even spoke to Mr. Nortreus.

“Celine, can we sit down now?” Kayla proposed to Celine.

“Yes! You're right!” Celine responded.

“We've been playing and walking for a while now.”

“You know my feet are hurting too, right?” Celine added.

As they neared Mr. Nortreus on the bench, they both settled down on the lawn.

They then retrieved some notebooks from their bags to review their lessons together.

“Can we review our lessons?” Celine asked Kayla.

“Yes! I'll help you with that,” Kayla replied.

“Great! Thank you!” Celine exclaimed. Mr. Nortreus Searched the Missing Paper

Oh! Oh!

What occurred?

Why was Mr. Nortreus feeling a bit anxious?

What was he rummaging through his briefcase for?

Well, it appears he overlooked a page in his notebook while he was busy reviewing and jotting down new sections of his story. Which page?

What other page could it possibly be other than the one that the wind whisked away while he was asleep?

“Oh! No!”

“Have I lost the page?” He exclaimed as he searched through his briefcase.

“Where is it?”

“Where is the page?”

“Where did I place it?”

“I remember the page was in the notebook,” he kept repeating.

Unfortunately, despite his thorough search, he was unable to locate it.

He then resumed reviewing and writing additional pages for his tales.

Mr. Nortreus Heard the Girls

Laughed

Suddenly, Mr. Nortreus heard laughter.

Who were those girls laughing so heartily?

Celine and Kayla shared a laugh where they were seated.

Indeed, Mr. Nortreus heard their laughter and glanced over, but he never considered that it might be directed at him.

However, it was true; it was not him they were laughing at, as they were merely resolving their own issues.

“What’s so funny?”

“What are they laughing at?” He asked himself and shook his head.
