A miracle of Christmas

That morning Carolyn left his house in a hurry. She didn't know if he would make it to the airport on time. Her emotion was capital, she would go to the city of her dreams, at last, she would be in New York, Christmas being near.

She arrived, after a quiet flight. But, she couldn't wait to go out and walk the streets, to see the windows of Macy's, who mentioned so much in her stories, Aunt Erin, especially that of that year when she met his loved Mr. Wallace.

With such enthusiasm, she couldn't stand it and left the hotel where she was staying, according to the arrangements of the contest she won: a week in the "Big Apple", with paid expenses, a miracle of Christmas.

Now that she was there, I wouldn't wait for another second to go out and meet her. So, although fearful because it was the first time she was going, she ventured out for a walk, even though it was getting dark: "For today, I will only walk one main street," she said.

Her footsteps led her to Miracle on 34th street, which was brimming with life and movement. Her dream was being consummated. Fascinated, she saw that night seemed like a day.

(End of five minutes.)

Suddenly, inexplicably, her astonished vision was trapped in a darkness that bit into her insides by fear. Everything was so dark that she could not take a sure step and stunned she began to shout the only name that came to her mind and connected it with where it was:

"Mr. Wallace!!... "Mr. Wallace!"...Mr. Wallace!"

She was almost out of breath, so much shouting when suddenly she heard a friendly voice and hands that took her gently by the arm: "Don't be afraid: I am Wallace".

"Mr. Wallace, Aunt Erin's..." She murmured, still very frightened, looking for the face of the gentleman who was helping her, without distinguishing anything more than pseudo shadows gigantic by her collapsed mind.

"Yes, I loved Erin and met her on this very avenue."

And believe it or not, the implausible became reality in another miracle for Carolyn.
