__ Murder in Hansburg __
  There once was a man named Bradley who lived in the town of Hansburg. It was a fairly large town of about 5,000 people. Bradley was a tall man, very skinny, with chestnut hair. He always wore a suit because he thought it was very important to always look your best. Bradley was the town judge and everybody respected him. He was always thought of as the nicest, most friendly person in the town because of his willingness to help whenever he was needed. The thing he was most known for was his religion. Anytime you saw him he had a bible in his hands. People thought of him more as a Christian then their own pastor. He couldn’t wait for the day he could go be with his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

One day when Bradley was at work a case came into his court that made him more angry than any case he had ever had before. The case was about a father who had sexually assaulted his daughter Chloe. The father came into the court room smiling because he knew he wasn’t going to get caught. The father was not found guilty because Chloe was too scared to admit what had happened. Bradley had a daughter about the same age as Chloe. He could not even imagine if that had been his own daughter who had been assaulted. He was so angry that he decided he would have to take the matter into his own hands.

Bradley got the address to the man’s house and broke in one night. He crept up the stairs to where the man was sleeping trying to be as quiet as possible. He was not quiet enough though because the man suddenly woke up and had a startled look in his eyes. Bradley wasted no time and stuck the knife into the man’s heart and whispered “Now justice has been served you son of a ^@#!*”." Bradley stood and watched as the man slowly slipped into death.

Bradley was never caught for the murder he had committed. He lived for about five years after the event but died suddenly of a heart attack one day. Everyone knew that he did not care he had died because he was confident he was going to heaven. When his judgment day came, he stood in front of Jesus and waited to go inside the pearly gates. Jesus just stood there and stared at Bradley for a few minutes. He said, “Bradley do you really feel like you deserve to come into my home? Bradley’s reply was “Yes, Lord, I do. I have done everything I could to serve you. I have followed all of your rules just as I was asked to.” Jesus was shocked at this reply and said, “Well Bradley I believe that you did break one of my commandments. Don’t you remember?” Bradley was speechless. Jesus said, “Depart from me for I never knew you.” Bradley was shocked and confused. He said, “No Lord, please. I’m so sorry. He deserved it though.” Jesus said, "Well, you deserved to  die too but I got on the cross and died for your sins.” Bradley fell to his knees but it was too late. He was cast into hell where he stayed and slowly burned to ashes.
