Alesse Kalyndah Sherridan stepped out from Wainfleet christian high and flipper her long bkack hair behind her shoulder, streaked with naturelly pink streaks. She had gotten out of class early since she had finished her math test so quickly and so had her best frind, and they were definitly the smartest girls in the grade 11 class.

"Wow Alesse you are so pretty" said her bestfriend Lydia whose gold hair and crystal hairpins sparkeled in the sunshine.

"oh yoou are way too nice, I am totally not" said Alesse but secretly she thought she WAS kind of pretty. She was secritly proud of her looks, though she pritended to be modist on the outside.

"Well I gotta go home and look after my little sisters and brothers and then do some preying but how bout we meet up tomorrow at youth group" Lydia said.

"Oh you don't wanna go to 7 11 and get some slurpees" said Alesse "just for a few minutes"

But Lydia looked shocked at the idea and told Alesse that family came first. Alesse sighed and watch her friend run off down the street, her long blue dress flutering in the wind behind her.

Then, suddenly, there was a giant CRAKING noise from above! The wind died down suddenly and silent. Alesse could sudeenly hear the sounds of cars getting intoa ccidents and the sound of horns honking and then in the corner of her eye she saw a hellicopter just FALL from the air and smash into the ground over near the Pen Center in SaintCatharines!

Alesse then turned t where lydia had been running just a second before...

... and all that was there was her blue dress lying on the ground, and two cristal hair clips.

"NOOOOO!" Alesse screamed. "Lydia!"

Then she pased out.

"I think she is awake."

alesse looked up into the wrinkled but still nice looking face of Mister BarnES her geography teacher at wainfleet christain high. Zebediah the star hockey forward on te school hokey team was also in the norse's office standing int he corner looking extremly worried. There was silents witch seemed very odd since usually at this timing the shool would be so noisy with lots of student.

"Oh my goodness you are ok!"

"Ya Im okay Zeb" she said "I just had the WEIRDest dream... that I left school a little early then suddenyl something happened and a bunch of cars and hellicopter smashed, and oh, also, Lydia vanished!"

There was silents for a long minutes.

"Um actually" Mister Barnes said "its not a dream... its reality... people have VANISHED nearly EVERYWHERE around Nairgra region. The cities is in total disarpare. There are smashed cars all over the place and fire, Nearly the hole school just fanished in the blank of an eye all there clothes are skattered thru the shool... the only people that i can see who were left were you me and zehebdiah here."

Alesse gasped in horror. She knew instantally what had happen but she still felt herself asking any how.

"What? What could have happen, Mister Barnes?"

He look sadly over at Zeb and thenback to Shaundrah.

"It's the Rapture. We've missed it Alesse."

Then she passed out again.

When Alesse woke she was still in the nurse offise and zeb and Mr. Barns were sitting dranking cokes.

"so none of us were good enough to get to heaven..." she whispered.

They all looked shamefull at the floor. A single cristal teredrop fell from her face to the floor.

"In your hearts we all know why..." Mister Barnes said "I know I do anyhow, i was secritly a siner, even though I preteded to be a good christain teacher on the outside."

Zeb and Alesse nodded knowing that they too had not followed the word of THE LORD as fathfully as they should have and had secretly sinned and not repentid as they should have. And now they were condemed to the tribulations!

"What are we gonna do" Alesse.

"while you were passed out I tried to call my mom, my dad, my cosines... nobody's ansering" Mr. Barnes said quitely "I only got one responds... from my cosine Bruce who lives at new Hope villege church in Chicego."

"What about you Zeb?" She Asked.

"well Alesse I got my brother and mom on the phone- as you know i was staying here with my cosines and grandma and grampa just down the street and..." Zeb stopped and he looked pained like he was full of tears but he was too manly and tough to cry! "I walk over to their house and they are all gone. They are all raptured Alesse! There clothes, glasses, hearing ades... they were just sitting on the couch and the Tv was still playing Columbo!"

"Oh my! No! How terifying! I cannot believe it!" Alesse gasped. "what are we gonna do?"

"My cosine Bruce has invited us to go down to the Newhope chruch in Shicago. Aparently, Zeb's brother also is moving to that area... the 2 of us are planning to drive there tonight. This area is a totel disaster."

Alesse hated the idea of the 3 of them splitting apart. In such a tragical time it was good to have two people who she knew were solid and good people even though they had not been saved.

"I gotta go home." Alesse said.

"I can drive her Mister Barnes. I don't think the buses are gonna come for us... and you need to start loding up the jeep for our trip." Zeb said.

"No! We all go TOGETHER!" Mister Barnes shoted "For now we are a team"

Alesse felt a shoot of warmth through her and for a second the terrifying ness of the Rapture was gone. Mr Barnes wrote a note and stapled it to the front door before they walked together to the jeep.

To anyone who is left in this bilding; almost all of the student and teacher was Raptured today, june 6. The few of us who is left and who were not saved have gone together to shicago for the safety of a new church that is being built there. A cording to Scripture there is many tribulations that are comping to this earth and the anti christ will come upon us and I urdge you to repent and to find safety, both ibn body and spirt.

May GOD bless you in this troubled times.

A. Barnes, formerly a teacher at this shool, now a true follower of \JESUS
