The Rescuer

There is a light in the sky and the whirling noise of the rotor blades of a "Sea King" Rescue Helicopter in the sky above. From a door in the side of the helicopter a man is lowered with a rescue harness.

Who is this Man ? What is he called ?

As the man nears you, you still can't see his face through the heavy perspex visor on his flight helmet...but his name is "Smith" it says so on the label on the front of his overalls.

He beckons urgently with his free hand as he wishes to put the harness over your head and winch you up into the hovering helicopter.

Why does not speak ? Is it that you would not hear over the roar of the waves ?

Do you understand what he wants you to do ?

Release your hand-hold on the edge of the now steeply tilting deck and be held in the harness he is holding out to you.

Do you trust the Person ? What choice do you have ?
 

To be continued by You.
