Psalm 140:12 I know that the Lord will maintain the cause of the afflicted, and the right of the poor
Johnny and Matthew were happy that they could go home for the rest of the day, but the Principal and the Coach didn't know at first that Johnny and Matthew both have an uncle, Uncle Jeremiah or Uncle Jerry.
Uncle Jerry doesn't have a job, single, and he stays home and cleans the house since Peter's wife left seventeen years ago. Jerry was in the living room rocking back and fort praying constantly thinking that everybody is going to Hell except him, his twin brother, and Johnny and Matthew. Until he heard a knock on the door, he got up and opened the door.
"John, Matthew come in the living room and pray with your uncle Jeremiah" Said Uncle Jerry.
Johnny and Matthew didn't say anything and went inside and put their books down and sat in the living room, Jeremiah sat down with them and kiss them on their foreheads.
"We love you, Uncle Jerry." Said, Matthew,
"I love you too John and Matthew." Uncle Jerry hugged the Twins
Six hours have past and Johnny and Matthew were reading their bible to each other until Matthew forgot to tell Uncle Jeremiah what happened.
"Something happens at school today Uncle Jeremiah, something terrible," Matthew begins
"Terrible things are The Lord's way of testing us, Matthew" Jeremiah interrupt
"I know...but the other kids," Matthew continued
"You and your brother are not like the other kids." The uncle interrupts again
"Oh Uncle Jeremiah, but we are" Johnny added on
"No you two are not. you are special," Uncle Jeremiah smiled
"Please listen to us, Uncle Jeremiah." The red-headed boy begged
"I've heard enough." Uncle Jeremiah turned to the window waiting on Peter
The room went quiet. Matthew looks at the clock and sees that it was 2:57 pm, three minutes until their father gets home.
"Uncle Jerry, In the showers, the other kids-" Matthew continued
"Didn't I told you two, that you too are forbidden to shower with the other males." Uncle Jeremiah interrupts again
"We know but it's the rules-" Matthew try to talk
"Forbidden!" Jeremiah interrupts again and turns to the window again
"We thought we were bleeding!" Johnny finally spoke
Uncle Jeremiah looked at the twins like they're crazy, the twins got up and look at Their uncle with full eye contact.
"We thought we were bleeding and the other kids laughed at us, and they called us names and they were throwing things at us and we fell, and Coach Henry came in and he slapped us," said Johnny
"And there was a big flash and bang and a light bulb broke. And the coach said it was-" Matthew added on
"The Curse Of Blood!" Uncle Jeremiah shouted
"What?" The twins spoke at the same time
Jeremiah grabbed the bible and flipped throw the pages until he found the page
"And God made Eve from Adam's rib and eve was weak, and loosen the raven on the world and the raven was called sin and the first sin was intercourse, Eve was weak. And then God visited Eve with a curse...AND THE CURSE WAS THE CURSE OF BLOOD!" Jeremiah preached
"It's not a curse, Uncle Jerry." Matthew corrected "It's not in the bible anywhere, The Lord is good, he's not evil at all."
"Coach Henry told us that only girls bleed not boys! Boys don't have periods like women." corrected Johnny as he holds his brother's hand "And You and Daddy should've told us, Uncle Jerry, you and Daddy should've told us in the first place!"
"O Lord," said Uncle Jerry as he took his nephews' hands and put them on his chest as he looked up in the air. "help these sinning men see the sin of their days and ways. Show them that if they had remained sinless the Curse of Blood would never have come on them. They may have been tempted by the Antichrist. They may have committed the Sin of Lustful Thoughts.---"
"Uncle Jerry, we don't have that. Did you hear us, the Coach said that only girls get it not boys" cried Matthew
"Now don't lie to me John and Matthew don't you too know by now I can see inside you? I can see you're a sin just as surely as God can." Said Uncle Jerry looks at his nephew
"NO Uncle Jerry you're crazy, just listen to us" cried, Matthew
"We will pray. We will pray, young men, we will pray to Jesus for our man-weak, wicked, sinning souls..." Hollard Uncle Jerry as dragged the twins to the cellar "And the Lord visited Eve with a Curse, and the Curse was the Curse of Blood. And there was a Second Curse, and this was the Curse of Childbearing, and Eve brought forth Cain in sweat and blood!"
Johnny and Matthew were struggling to fight back their uncle, they were kicking, trying to bite him, until Uncle Jeremiah throw them down in the cellar, he closed it and locked. Peter came into the house worried and confused as he ran to the phone to call someone.
"What's wrong, brother?" Said Jeremiah in a calm tone
"It's Johnny and Matthew, they weren't in school, I waited for them and It been way too long, I'm calling the police--" Peter Begins
"HELP! DADDY!! UNCLE JEREMIAH PUT US IN THE CELLAR! DAAAADDDYYY!!!!!" Screamed Johnny
Peter heard Johnny's Voice ran over and pushed the uncle Jerry away from the cellar, he tried to open it but it was locked, he turns to Jeremiah and snatch the key from him and unlocked the cellar door and grabbed his two sons, Johnny and Matthew hugged their daddy as tightly as possible.
"How could you Jeremiah! They didn't do anything wrong! Why did you almost put them in the cellar?!" said Peter as he turned to his brother in tears and anger.
"Brother," he said as he got up "God himself visited them with a curse"
"Curse?" Peter questioned, "What do you mean curse?"
"Blood! Brother! The Curse Of Blood" He shouted "And they lie to me too. Men can sin too!!"
Peter waked up to Jeremiah and slapped him across his face "Men don't sin Jeremiah! We don't sin at all"
He went into his pocket and got his wallet out and took some money and put on his brother's hand and forced him to ball it up like a fist.
"I want you to go to the grocery store and get something for us," Peter demanded
"But do you have a list?" Uncle Jerry asked
"JUST GO TO THE STORE JEREMIAH!" Shouted Peter as he forces his brother out the door.
Peter watched him getting in the car and drove off
'Good riddance...For now.' Peter thought as he closed the door
