The Wager of Gerald O’Rourke

"The Wager of Gerald O'Rourke" follows Gerald, a famously heavy-sleeping schoolboy who bets he can wake himself before dawn on Christmas morning to sing the solo at Mass and rouse his friend Maurice in time. To tip the odds, he asks the souls in purgatory for help — and promises them something in return. What Gerald doesn't know is that his father is on the verge of losing his job, and that a wrong doorbell in the dark, a furious millionaire, and a heartfelt letter hidden beneath a statue are all about to collide in ways none of them planned.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/ririro-com-short-stories--6577582/support.
