She Lets A Homeless Man Use Her Shower; When He’s Done, He Faints Upon Seeing Something Unbelievable!
One of the older girls mocked that night, causing laughter among the others, “Why can’t you learn to speak properly, Olivia? Even my little brother speaks better than you.”
The little girl tried to ignore it, but every word was like a thorn in her heart. That night, as the moon shone outside and the sounds of the orphanage quietened down, Olivia lay in her bed, curling up in search of comfort. She closed her eyes, trying to push the mocking voices from her mind.
With a heavy heart and a feeling of loneliness enveloping her like a cold blanket, the little girl fell asleep for a while, hoping to find some peace in her dreams. But it was almost impossible, as the children made a point of bothering her so she kept being awaken.
The other girls mocked amidst spiteful laughter, “Will she wet the bed tonight? She always has nightmares.”
Olivia closed her eyes tightly, wishing the voices would just shut up. Moments later, when everything was quiet, enveloped in the darkness of the dormitory, the girl fell into a restless sleep where strange and disturbing dreams took over her mind. They were confusing and frightening visions, with shadows dancing on the walls and whispers that seemed to call her name. In her chest, a feeling of fear and unease grew, making her heart beat faster.
The girl woke up in a cold sweat and dazed. It was like that every night, but something was about to happen in that orphanage, something that not even the most experienced nuns could have predicted. One particular night, after another day full of mockery and laughter, Olivia tossed and turned in bed, fighting the images that haunted her nightmares.
Suddenly she stood up abruptly, awakening with a scream that echoed through the silent dormitory. Her roommates were startled by the sudden noise and soon began complaining about her again. They complained, “Here comes Olivia again with her silly nightmares. Let us sleep, girl.”
The nuns, alerted by the screams, rushed to the dormitory. Sister Clara gently approached her bed and stroked her hair, trying to calm her down. She said in a soft, reassuring voice, “Calm down, calm down, my flower. It was just a bad dream. You’re safe.”
But the girl, still panting and wide-eyed with fear, tried to explain what she had seen in her dream, but the words jumped up in her mouth, her stuttering becoming more intense with nervousness. She stammered, struggling to make herself understood, “I I I had a DD dream that something B bad was gig going to H happen.”
The nuns exchanged worried glances but continued to calm the girl down. One of the sisters said, trying to reassure her, “Don’t worry, darling, dreams are just that, dreams. They can’t hurt us, okay.”
But Olivia couldn’t calm down. In her heart, the feeling that something terrible was about to happen wouldn’t leave her alone. Try as she might, she couldn’t articulate her thoughts or explain her fears to the nuns or the other children. Silent tears streamed down her face, and that was the last straw.
The girls in the room made fun of her again. They mocked, “What an insufferable girl that stutterer is. She wakes us up in the middle of the night and makes a scene. Can’t you just let us sleep?”
Sister Clara shouted, “Olivia, enough! Leave the girl alone! Have you no compassion? Come on, all of you get up, we’re going to pray in the chapel. Let’s see if you learn to ask God for forgiveness.”
The girls complained, “No, Sister.”
That cold morning at 3:00, the girl’s roommates were taken to the chapel by the nuns, still sleepy and mumbling. The sisters scolded, trying to teach them a lesson of respect and compassion, “If you stop teasing Olivia, you can go back to sleep.”
During the short nocturnal Mass, Sister Beatrice, known for her sweet and serene voice, made an unexpected request. She asked, “Olivia, dear, why don’t you lead our prayer today? You can ask God to give you a good night of sleep without any nightmares.”
The other children exchanged surprised glances and began whispering among themselves, some of them stifling evil laughter. Olivia felt the weight of the stares on her. With trembling hands and a pounding heart, she stood up.
At first her voice was just a stuttered whisper. She began hesitantly, “De dear G God.”
The children in the back could barely contain their laugh, making faces and mocking her difficulties. They said, “Oh no, at this pace she’ll be praying until morning.”
However, suddenly something incredible happened. The girl gave them an angry look, and her voice simply began to gain strength and clarity. The stutters disappeared as if they had never existed. With her eyes closed and her hands clasped together, she spoke with a conviction that surprised everyone.
She prayed, “Dear God, I ask you to protect us from all evil. May your holy mantle envelop us and keep us from harm. I especially ask, Lord, that you don’t let our beloved orphanage catch fire. Protect this home and all who live here. Don’t let the flames hurt anyone.”
A deep silence fell over the chapel. The laughter stopped, and the mocking looks turned into expressions of astonishment and admiration. Firstly, because the girl had managed to say an entire prayer without stuttering. Secondly, because such a specific prayer about the orphanage catching fire was something frightening, as if she was foreseeing something bad.
The nuns looked at each other, confused by the specificity of Olivia’s prayer. The sisters muttered, perplexed by the girl’s choice of words, “What fire?”
Olivia finished her prayer with a firm amen and sat down, still tired but now with a serene countenance. The other children in silence seemed to be contemplating the transformation they had witnessed. The little girl who always stuttered and fumbled had led a prayer with such eloquence and depth that it left everyone stunned. It was as if she was glowing, her gaze was deep. Sister Clara asked, “What fire, Olivia?”
But the girl remained silent. With that, the nuns decreed that the Mass was officially over. It was surprising what had just happened. The little girl who had always been mocked by her classmates saying such a different kind of prayer. The nuns were still processing the girl’s words, wondering about the reason for her specific prayer, and asking the girls to stand up when suddenly a deafening noise broke the silence of the night.
Just like that, a violent explosion shook the orphanage building, and in the blink of an eye, voracious flames began to spread. Everyone shouted, “Good Lord!”
The fire quickly consumed everything in its path, illuminating the room with an eerie warm glow. Chaos ensued. Children screamed in panic, running in all directions, while the nuns tried to maintain order and calm.
Sister Clara shouted, her voice trembling but determined to save each of the little souls in her care, “Quickly, children, to the exit!”
Sister Beatrice and the other nuns headed for the corridors, banging on the bedroom doors, waking up the children who were still sleeping, enveloped in the toxic smoke that was spreading. They shouted, picking up the younger ones and leading the older ones by the hand, “Fire! Fire! Wake up! We have to get out of here now!”
Meanwhile, Olivia remained strangely calm in the midst of the turmoil. Her eyes watched the flames consuming the place she called home, but there was no trace of panic on her face, just an unusual serenity for a child in such a situation. It was as if she had already witnessed that moment, as if she already knew the ending. A nun pulled her by the arm, “Come on, Olivia!”
Terrified, the situation was desperate, but the women didn’t give up. With all their efforts, they managed to take all 30 children out of the orphanage, one by one. When they reached the courtyard outside, they quickly counted the children, making sure that none were left behind, and they were all there.
The flames now engulfed the place completely, with the windows exploding from the intense heat, throwing sparks into the night sky and shards of glass everywhere. The group watched in horror as the place that had been their home was reduced to ashes. In the midst of the crowd of frightened and crying children, Olivia still maintained her mysterious calm.
The other children looked at her with a mixture of horror and doubt. They whispered to each other, “How did she know?”
The nuns, although relieved to have managed to save everyone, couldn’t hide their deep sadness as they watched the orphanage disappear in flames. Sister Clara murmured, looking at Olivia with a mixture of gratitude and amazement, “God Is With Us. Somehow she knew. She saved us.”
