The Mustard Seed Grows

For the last several years I have slowly been writing a novel entitled "The Mustard Seed Grows" It is a novel based on Matthew 13:31-32, if you haven't figured it out yet this is the parable of the mustard seed. It has been slow-going mainly because I am not a big writer and this has never been a big thing. I have, however, continued to write this novel but am victim to what so many people have been before, writers block. In an effort to change this I am posting one of my favorite parts of this novel. I hope you enjoy this!

Chapter 4

[“Welcome to your third week of roman religious training! I know this group hasn’t accepted our teaching but you will become devout with time,” yelled a Roman religious instructor.
“We will never stop worshiping our God!” answered Ben Wesley.
“Really, I’ve already converted two of you and have them in my top school, besides if you people don’t change your messed up beliefs I’ll bring out the chair.”
“Ben? What’s the chair?” Trevor asked.
“The chair is where a person gets electricity sent through their body,” answered Ben softly, “Don’t worry Trevor, I’m sure your dad is looking for you. Just stay strong, ignore the instructor, and keep prayi……”
“PRAYING!” the instructor send, “There will be know praying to your God here! I am sick of you and your stubborn ways, I sentence you to death……….by the chair.”
“NOOOO……” Trevor yelled.
“Bring out the chair and put Ben Wesley in it!”
WHIP “Kid you have better start listening or you’ll find yourself be in the chair right after your friend here.”
“Don’t touch him, You can kill me but don’t you dare kill him too! Keep praying SHOCK Trev-SHOCK-or.” Ben yelled as he was killed.
“Let this be a warning to all of you! There will be no more of your faith here.”]
