Chapter Twelve

Eleventh Station of the Cross
Jesus is nailed to the cross

Broken


Shattered!

My perfectly balanced hammer that never failed to drive a nail through wood in three blows…

…just shattered into a million tiny pieces as if it had been made of glass.

All I can think is that I'm glad this didn't happen yesterday. With all of the commotion about that Rabbi it would have been a huge embarrassment for my hammer to fail to strike true.

Today is much quieter, and I slip the shards into my pocket where they won't be seen. I'll have to borrow a hammer from someone else; my hammer will never be used again.
