Allan was the manager for the department I was hired to work. He was the one that introduced the new employees to their supervisors. It was my turn to meet my supervisor. As she entered the office, she looked at me with pale grey eyes, and my heart shivered. The fear was intense. Her eyes reminded me of a short story I read many years ago. The writer said that whenever the old man's eyes fell on him, his blood ran cold. He said that he made up his mind to take the life of the old man, and thus rid him of the eye forever. After the introduction, I made up my mind to fight the good fight of faith.

I was working part-time. But before long I found out—to my horror that my supervisor was writing on my schedule that I was unavailable to work certain days. Scary; it was a lie. she reduced my working hours —she was preventing me from obtaining a full-time position. I railed and fumed when I saw my schedule. Thus, causing controversy in the workplace. I stood for what was right, but she was furious. I ignored her but was afraid that I might lose my job.

The Sunday in church, as I was worshipping, the situation at work came to mind. And I saw in the spirit, the Lamb Prevailed. And ho what peace I felt in my soul!

Later in a dream, I asked my supervisor why she hated me. She did answer my question, but said, “we will see who win.” I replied, “The Mighty Conqueror.” And I woke up.

She later lost her position as a supervisor and left the company. I became a full-time worker.

The Lamb prevailed.

Wow- what a story! I wonder if she was satanic, and saw Jesus in you? I vaguely remember that story about the eye. Wasn't it Edgar Allen Poe?

Right on topic. A little red ink on paragraph four, which will probably be obvious to you. The preview bar during the submission process can be very helpful in catching and correcting these places in need of tweaking. I'm assuming this is a true testimony. I appreciate the way the story magnifies the power of Gd.

A good story with a great message, however it seemed a slightly rushed with half of your word limit still within reach. Not to advocate padding for its own sake, but I would like to know a little more about Allan, and about your MC's background and the actual work involved. Details like these will draw in your readers as your writing minstry develops.
