Another note from a safe deposit box.

“It will come as a man holding an apple. He will hold the fruit and think it fresh and pure. He will look at it and bite it, chew and swallow. No one will be ready. No-one will recognize the end until it is too late.

For the apple is a serpent, and he that holds it holds death and terror, but knows it not. None shall hear the flickering tongue until it is too late.

The sky itself will collapse and crush everything it covers. The weight will smash all things, turning buildings to dust, creating clouds of smoke that will choke the breath from everything they touch. The wails of terror and the cries of children will make deaf all who can hear. The last man alive will suffer agonizing pain as his body is slowly crushed by the hand of god, squeezing the world in his righteous palm, and all will perish, and all memory will be gone, and nothing shall remain except the wrath of god.

Amen.”

This note was found in a safe deposit box among many other apocalyptic ramblings. I chose this one because it was the most brutal and visual. Keep in mind, the guy who wrote this, whoever he is, decided he needed it to be locked up where only he could access it. (Until the record of his purchase of the box disappeared however, now we have to go through it.) I don’t know if this guy is still alive. I’d like to think he is and he was just too embarrassed to come in and claim his box.

I like that thought better than the alternatives.
