A woman was walking down the street one afternoon when suddenly a voice shouted, “Stop! Don’t take another step!”
She froze.
A second later, a huge pile of bricks crashed down from a construction site, landing exactly where she would have been standing.
Shaken, she looked around, but no one was there.
Thinking she must have imagined the voice, she slowly continued walking.
A few minutes later, the same voice shouted again, “Stop! Don’t move!”
The woman stopped instantly.
At that exact moment, a car lost control, skidded across the road, and flew past just inches in front of her.
Now trembling, the woman looked up and shouted, “Who are you?”
The voice replied calmly, “I am your guardian angel. I have been sent to protect you. Whenever danger is near, I will warn you before something terrible happens.”
The woman stood there in silence for a moment, trying to process what she had just heard.
Then the voice added, “Now that you know who I am, do you have any questions for me?”
The woman’s eyes narrowed.
“Yes,” she shouted.
“Where were you on my wedding day?”
