The Angel on a Roof

That day when Tommy and his mom entered H*** shopping center and doors closed behind their backs the boy got someone unpleasant presentiment. He never liked the place - it was huge, dim and labyrinthine, but his mom used to have her hair-dress in the beauty salon somewhere up there. An elevator brought them to the place.
Tommy's eyes 'caught' the man at once - this fat, big, 'wardrobe' man, who stand in the center. Nobody can tell what the man is doing is such place as beauty salon? But Tommy had no time to think at the question: suddenly there was another fat, but short man who shouted: "down everyone! This is a robbery!" and threw a smoke bomb on the floor. Panic spread in a second. All ran, shouted, cried, squealed. Tommy also run somewhere. Suddenly there was darkness.
Something has happened with electricity and only now Tommy realized why he didn't like the place - it has no windows. Tommy felt he is in danger cause he looked on the 'wardrobe' man long enough and now the man might have been hunting on him. The boy heard someone's hard steps behind his back. Tommy followed one old pair who seemed knowing where they were going. They turn left, right, again left and soon he lost them in the darkness.

He was tired. It was dark and there was danger in the darkness. Somehow Tommy used to both - to wander in darkness and to be in danger all the time... time, well, he didn't know anything about the time. It passes but how much? hours? days? months? he couldn't tell. And nobody could. The people he met from time to time told him there was no exit! no exit! there was no exit! but then they told they saw an angel, who were sitting on the roof.
Tommy wanted to see him so much! He has never seen any!
So he wandered in darkness trying to escape the danger which was hidden there, running away from strange people who tried to follow him and then once... once he came out of the darkness into a small patio. And there high above he saw a tiny piece of the sky - so blue and bright! The boy was looking up in the sky, he forgot everything. He saw the sky; he saw the roof where the angel might have been sitting once. Tommy lifted his hands. His body felt so light. He moved up slowly - and the small piece of the blue sky started to grow...
In that moment, flying higher and higher, passing the edge of the roof, Tommy suddenly understood, how the man they saw, became an angel, who were sitting on the roof - it was THE ONLY exit of the hell.
