What would you like to see happen in your lifetime?
The Rapture.
The Beast rising from the Sea and the Second Coming and the billions of souls streaming skyward from their corporal remains to the infinite light.
This may sound strange coming from a non-believer, one of the Left Behind. But I’d still like to see it.
And wander about in the aftermath.
When people ask what do you do, you tell them…?
Before my LASIK surgery, my surgeon asked that very question. I said, “I write.”
He asked, “What do you write?”
After a pause, I said, “Words.”
(I was on valium for LASIK).
