Angels do exist

I WENT into my dad’s laboratory to look for my doll. I accidentally pressed a button, and a mysterious light glowed.

The sign “ENTER” blinked, leading me to a passage. I remember Dad telling me not to enter the portal. But curiosity led me into the secret entrance.

As I entered the portal, I felt dizzy.

Moments later, I opened my eyes and realised I wasn’t in Dad’s laboratory! It was a place filled with clouds that looked like cotton candy. As I walked on, I saw a big hall. “Someone’s in there! They might be able to help me!” I thought.

When I stepped into the hall, I saw angels! They had soft, white wings with a halo over their heads. I rubbed my eyes in disbelief.

After I regained my composure, I walked towards the angels and tried to talk to them. One of the angels shouted “Intruder!” and the doors closed immediately.

I was scared and begged for mercy. They asked me where I came from and I replied that I was lost. I thought they would be angry but instead, they smiled warmly at me.

When I realised I was in heaven, I cried. The angels were shocked. I told them that I wanted to go home. They tried to comfort me and promised to take me home at dawn, when the portal opens.

At dawn, they took me riding on a fluffy little cloud and brought me home. I was very happy to meet the angels. I kept my encounter a secret. Now I know that angels do exist. – By
