The Rupture

A Devil of a Drabble

My children... The Dark Lord himself has let the morbid believers of the Up-Above fool his followers into thinking that they would be taken up, and we have all had a nice laugh with all of their most pitiful miscalculations and threats to the rest of us...heathens. We know that we will be taken down at the end of this month as the demons and spirits rise up and finally make their promise real with our corporeal forms now dismissed as we all dance, celebrate and laugh with his true light-giver.

Please make sure to bathe before the 31st.

    This monstrosity you wrote is sarcastically fantastical and shocking. You took the idea of the rapture and turned it into a thriller. Anyone who is overly conservative will definitely be frightened. But the one who understands will prepare the drinks for the celebration. So, cheers to us.

    I love the darkly whimsical tone of this drabble. The blend of humor and apocalyptic imagery creates a delightfully unsettling atmosphere.

  • Oooo, this sure was thought provoking. Loved it!

    Halloween, BTW, is the lesser of two evils. ;-) https://shopping-feedback.today/horror/the-black-corridor%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/a%3E%3C/p%3E%3C/div%3E%3C/div%3E%3C/div%3E%3Cdiv class="css-w4qknv-Replies">
