It was a perfectly ordinary day when God showed up. In a perfectly ordinary place between the high-rises, where the trash bins are. The boy on the swing immediately recognized him, this guy in the old jacket and the funny hat. As the boy walked with God, he was afraid of nothing, not even the guys in the neighboring house. They rode the bus to the supermarket where the boy's mother worked at the checkout, without tickets. God got ice cream for himself and the boy, without any money, and when he touched the mother, she shimmered briefly in a thousand colors. They met the father with the other men who were also unemployed on the soccer field. God smoked with them, and they talked about what wasn't going well in soccer and in general. On the way home, God freed a forgotten dog that followed him. After the boy said goodbye, God walked away with the dog.
