CIRCLE

Info

Everyday religiously this poor man, who had lost his legs ,one hand and horribly scarred his face in an accident, would arrive to the church on his wheelchair, but his way to the church was never easy. He had to get across the street to reach the church which is obviously not an easy job for a handicapped person on a wheelchair. Also a group of unstructured teens led by their leader, James, used to make fun of him everyday and tail him for a while passing comments on his impairment. The man always kept his calm and just before crossing the road he would turn around and say "This kind of attitude won't do you any good in future" and cross the road and go to church and James and his group would go back to their daily routine.

Days went by but there were no changes in how these events would unfold for the poor man. One day when he turned around to say his usual sentence to James, "This kind of attitude won't do you any good future", James lost his temper and he started following the man across the road and asked him

"How can ya be so sure, brah."

The man calmly replied "Oh believe me son, I know."

James was getting frustrated by this and instead of helping him cross the road he was just following him and then he asked in a rough tone " Oh really? How is it that you know?"

The man who was now almost at the end of the road turned around and said with a smirk on his face "Because I am your future."

James was totally bewildered after this and the next thing he remembers is he looked to the left to see a speeding truck approaching him....
