Here’s a short story that our Christian readers won’t want to miss. The story is written by Bill Haworth and it is called Okham’s Razor. I’m not really sure what genre to put this one in, I think I will just class it as Christian-fiction as that will be the reading group that the eBook will most appeal too.

This is one of those stories that really makes you think. I’m not going to share the storyline with you other than to let you know that the book starts out with a funeral. A loved one has died, and then suddenly unknown man appears on the scene, and climbs some 200 foot high scaffolds in a very depressed state. The rest of the books covers the story of a priest, a police officer, and a fireman trying to talk the man down.

When you get to the end of this one you’ll likely find yourself having one of those ah-ha moments, and it is a book that will get you thinking. Bill’s writing style helps to make this 64-page-short worth a read. Bill has a descriptive style, the conversations are realistic, and the characters are well thought out for the length of the book.

I’m highly recommending Ockham’s Razor to anyone who wants a few hours worth of reading material. Like I said earlier, this one will appeal mostly to Christian readers, but if you fall into that category, you won’t want to miss it.

An Excerpt from Ockham’s Razor:

The small group were joined by a morose looking man of about forty years of age, who although dressed in a smart but casual way looked a little out of place being the only male there sans suit and black tie. He seemed quite distraught and approached the widow as she dabbed her face with a handkerchief. Gently taking her hand in his, he said, “I am very sorry for your loss my dear; very sorry.”

“Er, thank you,” replied the surprised widow.

The man embraced her and with a bandaged hand, gently patted her back in a comforting gesture.

Looking on, Violet said, “Hmm…don’t know that one.”

“Friend of the family?” Doris mused.

“Your guess is as good as mine,” answered Violet.

The man unfolded the widow from his embrace, and with a smile turned around and walked away.

The son looked at his mother. On his face you could read the silent question. She just shrugged her shoulders in mute reply.

The drivers stood to attention by their vehicles waiting for people to get in, but Doris and Violet were dallying, looking at the smartly dressed but morose man walking off the path and toward the side of the church.

Renovations had been in progress that week and scaffolding had been erected alongside the church and leading to the top of the spire some two hundred feet above. Upon reaching the ladder attached to the scaffolding the man began to climb as quickly as his injured hand would allow.
