The moment of the second coming

A chapter in the book Apocalypse

Apocalypse pt. 15

by estory

Alone in a darkened room one hears a still, small voice
whispering in your ear: "It will be alright. I am the way,
the truth and the life.

I am the end, and the beginning."
In the window the sky brightens from east to west

Like lightning

'Something is happening,' you say to yourself.
'Someone is coming.'

The electric goes out and the clock goes dead
and the computer goes dead
and you scramble onto the roof

Above your head, the northern cross
cuts through the sky like a knife.
Light comes pouring through.






In this chapter, I wanted to capture the moment when Christ returns and our world reaches the end of one age, the age of man, and enters another, the age of Christ. I tried to show this by showing the man made things of this world, the clocks and computers and electric light going dead as in a storm, and the darkness being lifted by this light pouring through the hole torn between Earth and heaven in the sky. I wanted to use this fractured format to articulate the feeling of being shaken by unsettling images, jarred out of the familiar into this new world. estory
